Section 6: Electrical System
Maintenance
Inspect the power cord for cuts, cracks and worn insulation. Have the power cord replaced
immediately if these symptoms are noticed.
Do not hook up the power cord to any receptacle until you have verified
proper polarity and grounding.
DO NOT
plug the shore power cord into a campsite receptacle(s):
That has reverse polarity
With non-functioning ground circuits
That shows outward signs of heat damage.
Doing so may result in property damage or serious injury. Plugging the
shoreline power cord into an incorrectly wired power source could dam-
age the recreation vehicle electrical system and result in severe or fatal
injury. Damage or injury resulting from connection to malfunctioning
or improperly wired power sources is not covered by your recreation ve-
hicle warranty.
DO NOT
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 recep-
tacle. 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.
The power cord must be fully extended when in use and not left coiled
in the electrical compartment or on the ground. If the power cord is left
coiled, it may potentially create enough heat to melt its protective casing.
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 im-
proper grounding of your RV can cause property damage or serious per-
sonal injury.
Inverter (if so equipped)
A factory installed inverter converts 12-volts DC to useable 120-volts AC and supplies con-
tinuous AC power to the appliance plugged into it. It is important that you familiarize your-
self with the inverter function and operation. The inverter should be “off” when not in use.
The factory installed inverter is not intended for use, nor should be used, with any
medical device(s). The inverter may, however, be used with some CPAP machines, de-
pending on the CPAP model. Consult your CPAP machine’s instruction manual before
use to ensure proper operation.
If your recreation vehicle is equipped with a residential style refrigerator, the inverter may
be used to supply the 120-volts AC necessary to power the refrigerator.
