•
Plug in the shoreline connection overnight to fully charge batteries.
•
Turn off and clean out the refrigerator and prop the door open to let it air out.
•
If you plan on storing your Carado for an extended period, turn off the Battery Disconnect Switch and the Inverter Switch on your monitor
panel to keep from draining your AGM or Optional Lithium battery(ies).
•
If you turn everything off and you have optional solar panels, the panels will keep your coach batteries charged to a safe level while your
Carado is parked.
o
Solar panels will only keep your Carado charged if parked outside.
•
If you don't have solar panels, it is required that you check your coach battery state of charge every week and charge them as necessary.
•
If you don't turn everything off, even with solar panels, you will probably come back to dead batteries.
o
Based on the electronic systems on your coach needing small amounts of electricity even when off, you will probably come back to
dead batteries over a period of time.
o
If your coach is equipped with optional Lithium batteries, the battery switch(es) need to be on so the solar panel(s) can provide a
charge to them. Turn the switch(es) off at the end of the day to maintain the battery charge.
•
If you are not planning on storing your coach for an extended period, it is recommended that you plug in your coach to charge the batteries
to keep them from draining.
o
Plug your coach into a dedicated power outlet. (Dedicated outlets provide a cleaner line of electricity supplied to the coach) (Picture
