information. Do not reverse the positive and
negative battery cables (doing so will blow the
reverse polarity fuse(s) that protect the
converter). 4. Pull the fuse straight out of the fuse block.
If the fuse is not blown, something else
must be causing the problem. Please
contact your dealer for further assistance.
5. Insert a new fuse of the same specified
voltage, amperage rating and type in the
original location.
Never use a higher
rated replacement fuse.

You may want to consider the installation of a
battery isolator on your tow vehicle as a
convenience feature:
The fuse panel label should be kept
permanently affixed to your RV. The fuses will
not offer complete protection of the RV
electrical system in the event of a power
surge or spike.
□ It receives current from the tow vehicle
alternator and controls distribution of
energy to both the auxiliary battery and
the tow vehicle battery.

□ It serves as a check valve to prevent
energy from being drawn from your tow
vehicle chassis battery (so you can start
your tow vehicle engine).
There may be a 12-volt DC outlet (not
applicable on all models) in your RV. When
the 12-volt DC outlet socket is used as a
power source for an electric appliance, make
sure that the electric appliance operates at
12-volts and has an electric capacity of 60 (5
amps) watts or less. Cap the 12-volt DC outlet
when it is not in use as the socket might
become clogged by foreign material and
become short-circuited.
Your dealer can assist you with the selection,
purchase and installation of this aftermarket
part.

The 12-volt fuse panel is labeled to indicate
the fuse sizes, positions and components
powered. At the beginning of camping
season, inspect all the 12-volt fuses and
replace as needed.
Replacing a fuse
Replacement fuses must be of the same
voltage, amperage rating and type. Never
use a higher rated replacement fuse; doing
so may cause a fire by overheating the RV
wiring.
Before replacing a fuse, always turn OFF the
electrical component(s) protected by it.
1. Disconnect the power cord.
2. If so equipped, disconnect the auxiliary
battery negative cable at the battery.
3. Remove the fuse panel cover to check
fuses.
