Section 6: Electrical System
By using the scroll button you can view the appliances the system controls:
•
Water Heater
•
Refrigerator
•
Rear AC
•
Front AC
The device name will display with either SHED or POWERED next to it depending on total
amperage available to the coach and whether or not the device is capable of being operated
under the existing load. If a device is showing SHED, it has been disabled and cannot be
used.
For additional information, refer to the Power Control System booklet that is located in your
warranty packet.
NOTE:
The order of the devices above is referred to as the “shedding”
order. If the load exceeds the Service amperage on the display, the system
goes down this list sequentially and sheds appliances in that order until the
system has reduced amperage below the Service amperage shown on the
display.
Testing The Campsite Power Connection
The campsite 120-volt power receptacle(s) should always be tested for proper function-
ality prior to plugging the recreation vehicle shore power cord into it.
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 recep-
tacle and minimally test for open neutral, open ground, and correct polarity.
Connecting the Power Cord
Always test the external power source (i.e., the campsite power receptacle or electrical box)
with a ground monitor before connecting your power cord to it. If the ground monitor indi-
cates ‘reverse polarity’ or an ‘open ground’ DO NOT connect the power cord.
To help prevent power surges from damaging the connected loads, please follow these in-
structions when hooking up to the external power source:
1.
Turn off the load center main 120-volt circuit breaker.
2. Carefully extend the entire length of the power cord (approximately 25’-35’) from the
electric cable hatch to the external power source.
3. Plug the power cord into the receptacle. Be sure all the power cord prongs are properly
plugged into the receptacle.
4. Return to your RV and turn on the load center main circuit breaker.
The shore power cord should be unplugged when the recreation vehicle is left
unattended
When you are ready to leave, reverse the power cord connection process. Use care to pre-
vent damaging the power cord electrical connection pins when connecting or disconnecting
the shore power cord. Grasp the plug to remove the power cord from the outlet; do not
unplug it by pulling on the cord.
