FAILURE TO CORRECT AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN
DEATH.
120 Volt A/C System
The 120 Volt system is supplied by plugging the power cord (shore cord) into an outside source. It
furnishes current to the 120 Volt appliances and fixtures like the roof air conditioners, the refrigerator and
all 120 V receptacles. It also supplies power for the 12 Volt trailer system through the converter. The 120
Volt electrical system is protected by circuit breakers located in the 120 Volt/12 Volt load center located
inside your travel trailer. The most common cause of a circuit breaker to open is an overloaded circuit. An
example of an overloaded circuit is when a space heater is plugged into the same outlet as the toaster. If
this happens, reduce the load on the circuit and reset the breaker. If the breaker trips again, have a
qualified person locate the trouble and correct it before restoring the circuit breaker to its normal position.
Power Cord/Shore Cord
The power cord, often referred to as shore cord or shoreline, is a heavy-duty cable with a 3 prong
grounding plug on one end and connects directly to the power converter inside the unit on the other end.
This cord is used to plug into an external 120V source. Cords are 30 Amp plugs (3 prong. This cord is
designed to ground the electrical system.
Do not plug in shore cord while under load. MAKE SURE ALL APPLIANCES ARE TURNED OFF AND
THE MAIN BREAKER IS OFF PRIOR TO CONNECTING SHORE CORD. After plugging in the shore
line, restore the main breaker to the “ON” position, then turn on the desired appliances.
