3. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A. 120 Volt AC
Turn off all breakers, plug coach into 120 volt AC, shore power, turn
on 30 or 50 amp main breaker and then each breaker following.
This procedure indicates your 120V system is working correctly and
feeding power throughout your coach unless there is an open circuit
somewhere.
GFCI
This device is designed to protect individuals from improper
grounded conditions, especially on the outside while touching exte-
rior components.
To test this receptacle press the test button two times per
camping season to assure proper operation. Now press the
“Reset” button. Should you not be able to reset this device, re-
place the receptacle or find an electrical technician.
B. 12 Volt DC
As a manufacturer, we suggest that each spring you inspect for any
loose wires and/or loose connections in the load center and tighten
if loose. Loose wire connections cause high heat and potential fire
problem especially in and around circuit boxes.
Inspect all fuses and be sure they are good for continuity and op-
eration. There are 2-40 amp fuses or 4-20 amp fuses in your con-
vertor to protect the convertor should some one hook up the bat-
tery backwards. Be sure these are in good condition and not
blown.
Battery
A 12 volt battery (deep cycle preferred), whether supplied from
manufacturer or dealer, require constant inspection and mainte-
nance.
To preserve long life in any battery three important functions
are required:
a. Charge battery every 30-60 days to keep fully charged dur-
ing non use, especially during winter months
b. Certain types require water to be checked and added as
necessary. Keep water above cell mass to avoid permanent
damage.
c. Store battery in a cool place when not in use, around 40°F.
