SECTION 5
TOWABLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - 30 AMP
The
RV electrical system is comprised of two
independent electrical systems. One operates
off of 12-volt DC power and the other off of
120-volt 60hz AC power. All installations have
been made in compliance with industry
standards applicable on the date of
manufacture. Because the electrical
equipment and associated circuitry are
engineered into a dedicated system specific
to your RV, we recommend you do not make
unauthorized changes or add fixed appliances
to it.
Changes or additions made after
delivery may result in a hazardous
condition.
Service and/or modification of the electrical
system should only be performed by qualified
electrical technicians using approved
materials, components, and methods meeting
current safety and code requirements. Please
consult your dealer’s service department for
assistance.
To read more about the various components
incorporated into the RV electrical system,
please refer to the information contained in
your Warranty Packet.

1. Have everyone evacuate the RV
immediately.
2. Switch the 30 amp 120-volt main circuit
breaker in the trailer to the “off” position.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable(s)
at the battery.
4. Disconnect the 30 amp power cord from
the shore power receptacle.
5. Always have faulty or damaged wiring and
electrical components repaired
immediately.

NOTE:
It is important that everyone
knows where to find the 30 amp 120-volt main
circuit breaker and how it operates.

Your RV is equipped with a 30 amp 120-volt
60hz AC electrical system. The entire system
is designed to operate on 1 leg of 120-volt
power at a maximum current flow of 30
amperes. Exposure to voltages higher or
lower than a nominal 120-volts will damage or
shorten the service life of the electrical system
and appliances. The 30 amp 120-volt 60hz
AC electrical system can be powered by the
120-volt 60hz utilities found in RV
campgrounds or by 120-volt 60hz generator
power.
Do not attempt to use water to put out an
electrical fire. Water can spread some
types of fire, and electrocution is possible
with an electrical fire.
Make very certain the external power
source (30 amp systems only) you connect
the power cord to is a
30 amp/120-volt AC
RV receptacle and not 240 volt AC.
Use caution when using metal tools. If a
tool contacts a battery terminal or metal
connected to it, a short circuit could occur
which could cause personal injury,
explosion or fire
