Inverter/Charger (Optional):
The Inverter/Charger provides silent AC power when shore power is unavailable, and the generator is
not selected as a secondary power source. This device has limited AC power output, measured in
watts, and operates only selected appliances and outlets. The Inverter/Charger is an auxiliary 120 Volt
AC power source that inverts 12 Volt DC house battery power to 120 Volts AC. The Inverter/Charger
also converts 120 Volts AC power, supplied from either shore power or the generator, to 12 Volts DC
power, to recharge the batteries. When dry camping, the Inverter/Charger may be used to supply power
to selected outlets.
BATTERY DISCONNECT - HOUSE
The main house battery disconnect switch turns the house bat-
tery power supply on or off by disconnecting 12 Volt DC power
to the following items: inverter, domestic fuse panel in the bed-
room, domestic fuse panel in the front roadside electrical bay.
Turn the house battery disconnect switch off when the motorhome
is going to be stored, or before performing electrical maintenance.
If possible, leave the motorhome plugged into an AC source with
the battery disconnect switch on to help prevent the possibility of
dead batteries. Turning off the
BATTERY CUT-OFF switch at
the entry door will not turn off all DC electrical items or other
parasitic loads present on the house battery. Some are federal
mandate items such as the LP-Gas detector. If an AC power
source is not available, and the motorhome is going to be stored
for more than 48 hours, it is recommended to turn the house bat-
tery disconnect switch off.
