There is no required maintenance for the engine generator. Note, however, that your vehicle's serpentine belt (the belt which
drives the vehicle's alternator, water pump, power steering, etc.) will be different than the one for similar vehicles without the
engine generator. Roadtrek recommends carrying a spare belt in case you have a serpentine belt failure while traveling.
Solar Panels
The solar panels operate automatically and the charger and controller are configured at the factory.
Shore power connection point
Some power cords have an LED on plug
indicating shore power is being supplied
Shore Power
The shore power connector is located on the driver's side, just in front of the rear wheel. See HOWTO: Shore Power for
location of the connection point, and a concise description of how to connect to shore power. The switchover from shore
power to inverter is automatic - the inverter will sense the incoming shore power as soon as you plug it in.
To connect to external (shore) power, open the rear doors and remove the power cord from underneath the sofa bed. The
connection point is on the right of the rear compartment on the bottom of the driver's side, just in front of the rear wheel.
Plug the power cord into the campsite 30A power source and the other end into the Roadtrek. There is an LED indicator light
