If a generator is fitted the vehicle
must be regularly serviced to
achieve the optimum performance.
Engine speed is used to govern the
output and frequency of the unit in
KW and Hz, and if this is allowed to
vary beyond a safe level, permanent
damage could be caused to certain
electronic equipment such as 12 V
chargers etc.

Periodically, preferably not less than
once a year, the motor home
electrical installation should be
inspected and tested. A report on
the condition should be obtained as
described in the Regulations for
Electrical Installations, published by
the Institute of Electrical Engineers.
It is important that the main switch
at the site point should be switched
off, the supply flexible cable
disconnected and any cover
replaced on the socket outlet at the
site supply point. It is dangerous to
leave the supply flexible cable
connected.
If a fault should develop with your
electrical system that is not
described in the ‘fault table’ and
your supplying dealer cannot
resolve the problem, Sargent
Electrical systems operate a
telephone help line that is available
during normal office hours.
