enclosed exterior compartment. The style of the disconnect switch may vary per model.
This switch does not shut off all power, but only shuts off the 12VDC power to the main
12V fuse panel, and the interior of the vehicle. Batteries can still be trickle charged by the
converter, and there will still be power to some devices.
Rotating Dial Disconnect Switch
When this switch is ON, there will be a green area showing a “1” along the top of the switch.
To turn the switch OFF, turn it counter-clockwise until you see the red area along the left side
of the switch showing a “0” (zero).
Lever Type Disconnect Switch
To operate this switch, turn the lever counter-clockwise to turn off all 12VDC power to the
fuse panel in the RV. The lever can be removed and is equipped with a lanyard to keep the
key from getting lost.
Load Center
The Load Center contains
12VDC fuses and 120VAC
circuit breakers for almost all
of the electrical appliances and
circuits in the RV. The 120V
main breaker may be located
in this panel and will turn
off all 120-volt power to the
RV. Locations will vary by
model. Refer to the diagram
inside the load center for specific
fuse assignments. Not all load centers will include a main
breaker.
Motor homes may have separate small panels for breakers and fuses. They are normally
located in close proximity to each other typically in the bed platform. The converter is also
mounted separately (typically under the bed platform).

120-Volt Circuit Breakers
The 120-volt AC circuit breakers located inside the load center protect all 120-volt wiring
and components from circuit overloads and short circuits. Should a circuit overload or short
circuit occur the circuit breaker protecting the affected circuit will “trip” preventing the flow
of electricity through that circuit.
If a circuit breaker trips, shut “off” the appliance on that circuit (i.e., power converter etc.)
and allow the circuit breaker to cool down for a brief period of time. After it cools down,
reset the circuit breaker by moving its lever “off” and then back to the “on” position. If the
circuit breaker re-trips or frequently trips, contact your dealer to have the electrical problem
diagnosed and repaired.
A circuit breaker identification label is permanently attached to the inside surface of the
120-volt Load Center.
NOTE:
Load Centers may not always include a main circuit
