HIGHLAND RIDGE TOWABLE SECTION 6 – ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
6-1
The RV electrical system is comprised of two independent electrical systems.
One operates off of 12-volt DC power and the other off of 120-volt 60hz AC power.
All installations have been made in compliance with industry standards applicable
on the date of manufacture. Because the electrical equipment and associated
circuitry are engineered into a dedicated system specific to your RV, we
recommend you do not make unauthorized changes or add fixed appliances to it.
Changes or additions made after delivery may result in a hazardous
condition.
Service and/or modification of the electrical system should only be performed by
qualified electrical technicians using approved materials, components, and
methods meeting current safety and code requirements. Please consult your
dealer’s service department for assistance.
To read more about the various components incorporated into the RV electrical
system, please refer to the information contained in your Warranty Packet.
