Savoy SL & LX 5th Wheel & Travel Trailer 2006 Electrical Systems — Section 8 • 135
Electrical Adapters: There are many different electrical adapters available to suit a variety of needs. Only
UL approved adapters should be used. The most common adapter is a 50-30 Amp adapter. This type of connector
adapts the 50 Amp shore cord to a 30 Amp shore power outlet. Always install the adapter to the cord prior to
making the connection to the outlet.
Another common adapter is a 30-20 Amp adapter. This type of connector adapts the 30 Amp shore cord to a
20 Amp shore power outlet.
CAUTION:
If shore power service is limited to 15 or 20 Amps, use of light duty extension cords and
electrical adapters creates voltage loss through the cord and at each electrical connection.
Line voltage loss and resistance at each electrical connection can be a hazardous
combination. Damage to sensitive electronic equipment may result!
CAUTION:
Avoid the risk of electrical shock or component damage
by disconnecting from shore power during electrical
storm activity.
NOTE:
Three types of shore power outlets most commonly used
are shown in the illustration.
BattEry diSconnEct (For FiFth whEEl)
The main battery disconnect is located in a front compartment next to the battery. Turn
off batteries when the recreational vehicle is stored. If possible, leave the recreational
vehicle plugged into an AC source with the battery disconnect on, preventing the batteries
from going dead. Using the battery cut-off switch will not turn off all DC electrical items.
There are parasitic loads present on the house battery, including Federally mandated items,
such as the LP detector.
NOTE:
If the recreational vehicle is not used for more than 48 hours it is recommended to turn
batteries off.
