Do not assume that a shore power supply is correctly wired. Shore power may have incorrect
polarity or not have the safety ground. Before connecting your trailer, test shore power by using
a polarity and ground tester, which can be purchased at electronic stores.
If you have shore power, your trailer may be fitted with Ground-Fault Interrupting outlets (GFI).
If you have GFI protection, you must periodically test the outlets by pressing the “TEST” button
that is located on the GFI-equipped outlet.
WARNING
6.4
LP GAS AND FUEL SYSTEM
LP gas systems are installed to operate a variety of appliances, such as stoves, refrigerators,
heating units and electrical generators. The exhaust fumes from burning LP contain carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide gas is odorless and can cause death or serious brain injury if
inhaled. The exhaust from LP appliances must be directed to the outdoors. You must have an
operating carbon monoxide detector in the living quarter accommodation space of your trailer.
DANGER
When used for the first time, or after a period of storage, the LP gas lines will be full of air and
must be purged of air, before the appliances will stay lit. Have the LP gas lines purged by your
trailer dealer, or an LP gas dealer.
Shore power poses a risk of death due to electrocution or fire
Always use an electrical cord specifically designed for shore power connection.
Never use an ordinary extension cord.
Always connect the electrical cord to a grounded source of shore power.
Do not remove the “third prong” from the shore power plug.
Connect only to source of proper voltage.
Make certain polarity is correct.
Do not overload electrical circuits.
Always replace fuses or circuit breakers with correct rating.
You can die or be brain damaged by Carbon Monoxide.
Make certain the exhaust from LP appliances is directed to the outdoors.
Have a working carbon monoxide detector in the living quarter’s accommodation
spaces of your trailer before operating any LP appliance.
Do not operate portable grills or stoves inside the trailer.
