ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Your motor home is equipped with three
electrical systems:
the chassis 12-volt system
the 12-volt house system
the 120-volt AC system.
They operate together to give you electrical
power for many different situations.
Batteries
Your motor home has two battery systems.
One system supplies 12-volt DC power to start
the vehicle engine. The other system supplies
12-volt DC power to the house living area and
starts the generator.
CHASSIS 12-VOLT
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The chassis 12-volt or vehicle electrical system
generally includes:
chassis battery
chassis/house battery charging system
ignition system
instrument panel and controls
inverter/charger
headlights, taillights, turn signals
power entry step
Propane detector/alarm
leveling jacks (if equipped)
slide-out (if equipped)
fog lights (if equipped)
air horns (if equipped)
power seats (if equipped)
radio
luggage compartment lights
other vehicle lights and accessories
Chassis Bulbs and Fuses
Fuses will interrupt the flow of electricity if a
circuit is overloaded .
See the American Coach Information section
04 in this manual for the locations of breaker
and fuse panels used in your RV.
Periodically check all light bulbs to ensure they
are not burned out. Always replace a light
fixture with the correct bulb to prevent injury or
damage to the fixture or surrounding area.
12-VOLT HOUSE AND
AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEM
This system generally includes:
• all 12-volt interior lighting fixtures &
outlets
• fresh water pump
• satellite
• 12-volt accessories
• power flush toilets (if equipped)
House batteries provide 12-volt DC power.
These batteries are not the chassis 12-volt
batteries . Power is also provided by a DC
converter that operates when the motor home
electrical cord is plugged into 120-volt AC
power source or by the generator (if equipped).
The house batteries are charged by the motor
home engine alternator, or by the converter
when it is operating.
CAUTION
Always replace bulbs and fuses with equivalent types.
The type is marked on the bulb or fuse.
!
CAUTION
The systems in this coach are not designed to be
used for any life-support applications. In the unlikely
event a system in this coach should malfunction, or
fail to operate, it is possible any connected appli-
ances, including life support equipment, may also fail,
resulting in potential medical complications.
!
07-1
Disconnect the 12V DC power to any electric device
before attempting any service on the system. Depress
or rotate the battery disconnect switches to the “off”
position to disable the system.
CAUTION
