Section 6: Electrical System

GFCI Receptacle

There is a ground fault current interrupter (GFCI) engineered into the electrical system.  
It is designed to reduce the possible injury caused by electric shock.  The GFCI will not 
protect against short circuits or circuit overloads.

Test all GFCI receptacles monthly

 

Push in the GFCI “TEST” button.  The GFCI “RESET” button should pop out 
indicating the GFCI receptacle has been “tripped” and interrupted 120-volt power.

 

Push in the GFCI “RESET” button to restore 120-volt power.

Contact your independent dealer for assistance if the GFCI “RESET” button does not restore 
120-volt power and pops back out.

 

™

A “tripped” GFCI breaker indicates that abnormally high 120-volt current 

flow (a ground fault) was detected.  All ground faults must be repaired before 

use of the recreation vehicle.

Command Control System (if so equipped)

The Command Control System encompasses several types of Bluetooth controlled systems 
in your Recreation Vehicle.

The Command Control System is capable of controlling some or all of the following features 
depending on the Bluetooth system and your model:

 

Awning control switches (press and hold to extend / re-
tract)

 

Systems monitor with LED indicators for tank levels 
and battery charge status

 

Auto leveling control panel (for leveling the RV)

 

Inverter panel (power switch with display)

 

Power bunk bed lift control switch

 

Speaker selector switch

Touch Dimmer Switch

Some models may include a touch dimmer switch next to the 
Command Center panel. 

 

Turn the ceiling lights ON or OFF:  Tap the LED light 
on the dimmer.

  Dimmer:  If lights are off, press on the LED light and 

lights will begin turning on gradually until fully lit.  If 
lights are on, press on the LED light and lights gradually 

begin to turn off.

The dimmer has a memory and remembers what light setting last 
used.  When turned ON again, the lights return to that setting.,

 

™

NOTE:  If your RV model includes the 5 way/8 way re-

mote control, the LIGHT button on the remote only controls the awning LED 

lights.
