SECTION 3
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM – 50 AMP
19
Your
RV
contains separate low voltage (12-
volt DC) and high voltage (240/120-volt AC)
electrical systems. You must have a 120-volt
AC (VAC) power source if you are going to
use the microwave, roof air conditioner, the
refrigerator in the electric mode and the 120-
volt electrical outlets. For the most part
everything else in the RV works off of 12-volt
DC (VDC) power. If you look at the RV power
distribution panel you will see circuit breakers
like you have in your house for the 120 VAC
side, and automotive style blade fuses for the
12 VDC side.
Because the wiring and circuitry is engineered
by Entegra Coach into a dedicated system
specific to your RV, we recommend you do
not make unauthorized changes or add fixed
appliances yourself. Only a qualified RV
technician should attempt to make changes or
additions to the electrical system. Approved
materials, components and methods of
installation must be used to meet safety and
code requirements.
Changes or additions
made to your RV may create a hazardous
condition and/or result in loss of warranty
coverage.

RECAUTIONS
Careless handling of electrical components
can be fatal. Always take the appropriate
safety precautions when working around the
RV electrical system.
•
Always make sure the electrical
components are turned OFF before
disconnecting the battery negative cable.
•
Always unplug the 50-amp power cord
and disconnect the negative battery cable
before working around the RV electrical
system.
•
Never work around batteries with an open
flame. Vapors from the batteries can
ignite, causing serious damage.
•
Remove your rings, metal watchbands
and any other metal jewelry before
working around the RV electrical system
•
Use caution when using metal tools
around the RV electrical system. If a tool
contacts a battery terminal or metal
connected to it, a short circuit could occur
which could cause personal injury,
explosion or fire.
•
Never touch or use electrical components
with bare feet, wet hands or while
standing in water or on wet ground.
•
NEVER
allow children to play with the
electrical system or components.

IRE
1. Execute your family safety plan.
2. After everyone is clear and accounted for,
if possible:
a. Disconnect the 50-amp power cord
from the external power source.
b.
Disconnect the auxiliary battery
cables.
c. If applicable, turn OFF the generator.
3. Check the fire to see if you can attempt to
put it out with the fire extinguisher. If there
is any doubt, call the fire department for
emergency assistance.
4. Do not touch any electrical wires or
appliances.
5. Always have faulty or damaged wiring and
electrical components repaired before
using your RV again.
If you feel the fire was caused by a product
failure you must contact Entegra Customer
Service for approval before you clean any
debris, enter, move or repair the RV (failure to
notify Entegra Coach may result in loss of
coverage).
Do not
attempt to use water to put out an
electrical fire. Water can spread some
types of fire, and electrocution is possible
with an electrical fire.
