found in Chapter Three, Using Your RV.
If experiencing any electrical problems, check the following items, fuses,
breakers, and connections. If none of these items resolve the problem,
contact your dealer for trouble shooting, and needed repairs.

Portable Solar Panel Receptacle

Such a receptacle may be installed on your coach and can be located on
the exterior rear wall with a 10 amp rating.

The actual solar panel is an aftermarket item, to be purchased from your
dealer.

Its main function is to maintain a charge for an auxiliary battery you may
have placed on your coach when 120-volt power is not available.

Any electrical installation that does not meet the criteria of the

manufacturer’s specifications, will VOID THE WARRANTY on

the electrical system.
