About This Guide

This Thor VX8 Vehicle Mounting Reference Guide provides instruction for the installer to follow when mounting a Thor VX8 in a vehicle.

Powered Vehicle Mounting

Vehicle mounting brackets are specifically designed for vehicle mount applications. The vehicle mounted assembly restrains the Thor VX8 and isolates it from shock and vibration.

Overhead, dash and roof support pillar mounting is via a RAM Mount accessory which includes all the hardware required for vehicle mounting.

Never put the Thor VX8 into the vehicle mounted assembly until the assembly is securely fastened to the vehicle.
