SHORE POWER HOOK-UP
The power requirement for the motorhome
is 50 Amp 240 Volt AC single phase. The
motorhome can be operated from 30 Amp 120
Volt AC but with limited capacity. If 50 Amp
shore power service is available, connect the
supplied shore power cord. If less than 50
Amp service is available, electrical adapters
will be required and power consumption must
be reduced to avoid tripping the shore power
breaker.
WARNING:
Keep fingers away from metal contacts
of the shore plug end. Do Not stand
in water when making electrical
connections. Serious electrical shock
and personal injury can occur. To avoid
the risk of electrical shock, turn the
circuit breaker off at the power supply
outlet before making the shore power
connection.
CAUTION:
Avoid flash damage to the electrical
system contacts. Turn off all appliances
before plugging the motorhome into
shore power, starting the generator or
using the inverter.
CAUTION:
DO NOT remove cover from shore
power supply to troubleshoot electricity
to the motorhome. Serious personal
injury or death may occur. Inform the
park manager if there is no power to the
motorhome. It is the park manager’s
responsibility to fix problems with the
shore power pedestal.
Plugging in the Shore Cord:
The shore power cord is located in the
roadside service bay.
Extend the cord by pressing the power
cord switch. Extend a suf
fi
cient amount
of cord to reach the power supply and
turn the switch off. If 50 Amp service is
not available, install the proper electrical
adapter(s) to the cord.
Always turn
OFF
the shore power
breaker at the power supply before
connecting or disconnecting the shore
cord to avoid an accidental shock or
fl
ashing of electrical contacts.
After the connection is made, turn the
shore power breaker on. The transfer
switch should make an audible click.
When Hooked to 50 Amps:
After verifying proper voltage, wait
approximately one minute for the inverter/
charger to stabilize charging of the batteries
before starting air conditioners or other large
AC loads.
When Hooked to 30 Amps:
If 50 Amp service is not available, wait
approximately one hour before operating
electric appliances. Use caution when
operating appliances to avoid overloading
the supplied shore service breaker. Operate
appliances and outlets in sequence rather than
all at the same time.
Disconnecting Shore Cord:
Turn off all AC appliances.
Turn off the shore power breaker. This
will prevent accidental shock
and
fl
ashing of electrical
contacts when disconnecting.
Grasp housing of electrical
plug. Without touching
electrical contacts, work cord
out and away from socket.
Straighten and clean cord.
Press the Power Cord switch
to retract the power cord.
