Optional 3000 Watt Inverter (Continued)
The powersave auto setting is not recommended by Roadtrek. Newer controllers no longer have this setting. Use either OFF or powersave off
settings and turn your inverter on and off as needed.
Pressing the bottom of the switch selects power save off. When this setting is selected, the inverter will be on continuously.
There is a shore power indicator light to the right of the switch to tell you the system is receiving shore power. There is also a battery charging
indicator light to tell you when the batteries are being charged by shore power.
Your refrigerator will run on either 12 volt battery power or 120 volt inverter power.
Optional Gasoline Generator
The gasoline powered generator provides up to 2800 watts of power, enough to run all your appliances. Please refer to the Onan Generator manual
for operation and maintenance.
Always close the rear windows of the vehicle and turn off the roof ventilation fan to avoid exhaust entering the vehicle's interior.
There is an hour meter to the right of the switch which displays hours of generator use. Maintenance on the generator is scheduled according to
hours of use. There is a break-in oil change scheduled fairly early in your generator's use, so check your Onan manual for particulars.
Please be sure to operate the generator at half load or more (at least 1200 watts, either the heat pump or an electric heater) for one
hour every month. Failure to do this can lead to internal corrosion, gumming up of the float bowl, and eventual failure.
Shore Power
The shore power connection is through the shore power cord, stored in the driver's side large compartment. See Outside your Roadtrek for location.
The switchover from shore power to inverter is automatic.
To connect to external (shore) power, open the side compartment and remove the power cord. Plug the power cord into the campsite 30 amp power
source. See HOWTO: Shore Power for a concise guide on how to connect and disconnect to shore power.
