SECTION 5
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - 50 AMP
The
RV electrical system is comprised of two
independent electrical systems. One operates
off of 12-volt DC power and the other off of
120-volt 60hz AC power. All installations have
been made in compliance with industry
standards applicable on the date of
manufacture. Because the electrical
equipment and associated circuitry are
engineered into a dedicated system specific
to your motor home, we recommend you do
not make unauthorized changes or add fixed
appliances to it.
Changes or additions made
after delivery may result in a hazardous
condition.
Service and/or modification of the electrical
system should only be performed by qualified
electrical technicians using approved
materials, components, and methods meeting
current safety and code requirements. Please
consult your dealer’s service department for
assistance.
To read more about the various components
incorporated into the motor home electrical
system, please refer to the information
contained in your Warranty Packet. Consult
the Chassis Guide for information pertaining
to the chassis drivetrain electrical system.

3. Disconnect the negative battery cable(s)
at the battery.
4. Disconnect the 50 amp power cord from
the shore power receptacle.
5. Turn “off” the generator.
6. Always have faulty or damaged wiring and
electrical components repaired
immediately.
