Electrical System (Continued)
Shore Power
Shore power is the name for power supplied by a utility company that you plug into to provide power to your Aktiv.
See ‘HOWTO: Shore Power’ on our consumer website for a concise guide to plugging in and unplugging from shore power.
The shore power cord is stored in the bed cabinet (underneath of bed) when not in use. Take the cord to the outside of the vehicle and plug into
the receptacle on the driver’s side of the van and the other end into the campground/power receptacle. (Pictures 40.1, 40.2) See the ‘Outside
your Aktiv’ section of this manual for location. The switchover from shore power to inverter is automatic.
To connect to external (shore) power, plug the power cord into the campsite 30 amp power source.
Outlets
The outlets are operated from the inverter or shore power. Further, the outlets are protected by GFCI. All of the outlets are powered by the
standard 2000 watt inverter.
All electrical outlets have ground fault circuitry (GFCI). The protection system is located in the main distribution panel, located above the inverter in
the rear passenger side cabinet (above the bed). If you are not getting power from an outlet, check and reset the GFCI button and breaker if
needed.
