The campsite 120-volt power receptacle(s) should
always
be tested for proper functionality
prior to plugging the recreation vehicle shore power cord into it.
DO NOT
plug the shore
power cord into a campsite receptacle(s) that has reverse polarity, non-functioning ground
circuits, or that shows outward signs of heat damage. Injury or damage resulting from
connection to malfunctioning or improperly wired power sources is
not
covered by your
recreation vehicle warranty.
Campsite 120-volt power receptacles can be tested using a digital multimeter or a dedicated
circuit analyzer. Dedicated circuit analyzers plug directly into the campsite power receptacle
and minimally test for open neutral, open ground, and correct polarity.
Do not hook up the power cord to any receptacle until you have verified
proper polarity and grounding. Polarity indicators can be purchased in
most electrical and hardware stores.
Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reconfigure
incoming AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to
the grounding pin.
Do not connect the power cord into an outlet that is not grounded, or
adapt the power cord plug to connect it to a receptacle for which it is
not designed.
Do not remove the grounding pin to connect to a non-grounded
receptacle. Removal of the ground pin disables an important safety
feature designed to prevent shock and electrocution hazards.
Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord. Use of an improper
extension cord will cause overheating of the cord as well as potentially
causing premature failure of the AC equipment.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the electrical receptacle to ensure
that the receptacle is properly wired and grounded. Reverse polarity and/or
improper grounding of your RV can cause personal injury or death.

The 30 amp external utility power cord is commonly referred to as the “shore” power cord. It
is designed to mate and properly function with 30 amp “shore” power receptacles available
at most campgrounds.
The shore power cord is designed to continuously carry the 30 amp current flow required to
power each leg of the electrical system. It also creates a critical ground connection between
the vehicle electrical system and the campground shore power receptacle.
