Section 6: Electrical System
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.
For additional information, refer to the manufacturers user guide.
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 receptacle
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)
Do not hook 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
That has non-functioning ground circuits
That shows outward signs of heat damage.
Doing so may result in property damage or serious injury. Plugging the shore
power cord into an incorrectly wired power source could damage the recre-
ation 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 vehicle 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. A power cord left coiled
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.
