Figure 2 Typical converter reverse polarity fuses location
If the converter is not working (or the auxiliary
battery is not charging), check the reverse
polarity fuse(s) located on the converter panel
and replace the fuses as needed. If replacing
the reverse polarity fuses does not resolve the
issue, or you have further concerns, contact
your dealer for assistance.
Remember, there are no customer
serviceable parts in the converter; if the
converter box is opened, it will void the
vendor warranty.

Grounding is your personal
protection from electrical
shock. Your RV has a ground
fault current interrupter (GFCI)
receptacle outlet engineered
into the 120 VAC electrical
system. It may have additional
electrical outlets wired through,
and protected by, the GFCI. Its
function is to reduce possible
injury caused by electric shock.
The GFCI will not protect
against short circuits or
overloads.
Testing the GFCI outlets
The GFCI outlets should be tested monthly at
minimum as part of your RV maintenance.
The 120 VAC electrical system must be
powered on in order to test the GFCI.
1. Plug a 120 VAC
electrical device into the
GFCI receptacle outlet.
2. Push and release the RESET button (the
120 VAC electrical device should operate
normally) on the GFCI.
3. Push in the GFCI TEST button.
4. The RESET button should pop out
indicating the GFCI receptacle has been
“tripped” and the 120 VAC electrical
device should cease to operate.
5. Push in the RESET button again and it
should hold. If the GFCI did not trip, do not
use the GFCI receptacle outlet or those
wired to it. Call your dealer for repair
assistance if it does not hold and pops
back out. Any faulty equipment must be
repaired before your RV is used again.
Although an RV exterior power receptacle is
not a GFCI receptacle outlet, it is usually
wired through and protected by an interior
GFCI.
If your power cord is connected to 50-amp
service properly and the 120 VAC system is
not operating, we recommend you test all the
GFCI outlets, check the circuit breakers in the
load center and test your external power
source receptacle before calling your dealer
for assistance.
Exterior electrical receptacle
The RV exterior electrical receptacle is GFCI
protected.

The relationship between amps and total
wattage can be misunderstood. You may
think there is a proportionate link between
differing amp levels when, in fact, that isn’t
necessarily so.
