LIVING AREA ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The motorhome living area electrical system is designed for
convenience. It is capable of supplying the vehicle with at
least two sources of power: 12 volt DC power and 110-120 volt
AC power. The 12 volt coach batteries supplies power to the
interior components (except the roof air conditioner and fridge
while set on AC ) for short-term use. The 12 volt or DC power
supplies an AC 110-120 volt current to the interior plug outlets,
the entertainment centers and the microwave through the
2000 watt Pure-sine wave inverter.
The coach battery bank is charged when the chassis engine
is running and the charge line disconnect switch is in the ON
position or when you are connected to a 110-120 volt power
source (shore power or generator) with the 12 volt battery
disconnect switch in the ON position. Your vehicle may also
be equipped with solar panels. These solar panels will charge
the coach batteries if the charge line disconnect is in the ON
position.
For long term use, your vehicle may be powered by plugging
into a 110-120 volt external power source with the supplied
25 foot power cable. The 25 foot power cable supplied with
your coach must be connected and locked to your coach
and then to a 110-120 volt power source (a 30 amp outlet is
recommended). This will supply 110-120 volt power throughout
the interior and supply power through the inverter/charger to
all 12 volt components. Do not run the air conditioner unless
you are plugged into a minimum 20 amp power source.
Your motorhome is equipped with a Pure-sine wave 2000 watt
Xantrex Freedom XC Inverter/Charger. The charging portion
of the Freedom XC is set to LFP to charge the coach batteries.
The freedom XC also converts 110 volt into 12 volt to operate
12 volt appliances when plugged into 110-120 volt power or
while running the generator.
The Pure-sine wave inverter/charger takes the 12 volt or DC
power from your batteries and inverts it up to 110-120 volt
AC power. The inverter will enable you to use your 110-120
volt plug outlets, entertainment center and microwave oven
when a shore power source or generator source is unavailable.
This power source will be limited by the state of charge of
your batteries and by the amount of current drawn by each
appliance. The inverter has a built in transfer switch that allows
the 110-120 volt power to bypass the inverter and power the
110-120 volt plug outlets, entertainment center and microwave
directly, when the motorhome is plugged into a shore power
source or running on the generator.
