The RV electrical system is comprised of two independent electrical systems. One operates
off of 12-volt DC power and the other off of 120/240-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 model, 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 component manufacturer’s user guide. Consult the Chassis Guide for
information pertaining to the chassis drivetrain electrical system.
Electrical System Maintenance
Always make sure the inverter/charger (if so equipped) is turned “off” before disconnecting
batteries. Always disconnect the shore power cord, turn “off” the generator, disable automatic
generator start functionality, and disconnect the negative 12-volt DC battery terminal before
working on the electrical system.
