The 110-volt electrical system provides power to operate the air conditioner,
converter and 110-volt receptacles for portable appliances. The power is
carded through the 110-volt city power flexible cord to the 110-volt distribution
panel, and then is distributed to each appliance or receptacle. Exterior outlets
for 110 volts are located on the curbside exterior wall between the wheels and
above the wheel well.
All wire, components, and wiring methods conform to federal and state require-
ments.
Converter
The Airstream converter system enables you to use the 12 volt lights and
equipment whether operating on self-contained battery power or hooked up
to 110-volt city power. The 12-volt light bulbs give off the same light as regular
household bulbs, so that when operating on self-contained battery power, ev-
erything works normally except the 110-volt convenience outlets and 110-volt
appliances.
NOTICE
: When operating with city power make very certain that the
service is 110 volt and not 220 volt.
The converter system is a transformer designed to maintain constant output
voltages regardless of the variances that occur in city power systems. The
design eliminates the need for complex electronic sensing systems to charge
the batteries, minimizing the possibility of failures and greatly increasing its
overall reliability.
In some older parks and
other locations where three
pronged outlets are not
available, certain precautions
to insure proper grounding
and polarity must be taken.
These precautions are listed
below:
1. Attach the three-pronged plug to a two-pronged adapter. The third conduc-
tor line of this adapter has a short wire lead, which must be grounded.
2. For proper grounding connect the short ground lead to a grounded outlet
box or to a cold water pipe. When no water pipe is available drive a metal
rod two feet into the ground and attach the ground lug to it, thus providing
the unit with proper grounding.
Note: When the three-pronged plug can be used there will be no problems
