Electrical Requirements
Most, if not all of the devices described in this guide require electricity for proper operation. Control circuits
and igniters of gas appliances require 12 volts DC, while entertainment components generally require 120
volts AC. For safe and reliable operation, your motorhome must be able to supply electrical energy to your
appliances and entertainment devices.
For 12 volt DC power, the main battery switch must be ON. Operating the generator or being connected to a
shore power source will supply 120 volts AC as needed.
Make sure the propane/carbon monoxide (LP/CO) detector and alarm is always kept in good
working order. Test this device regularly and immediately replace if it is not functioning properly.
The LP/CO detector operates on house 12 volts DC and is only operational when the main battery
switch is ON.
CAUTION CAUTION
NOTICE NOTICE
The electrical system of the motorhome must be in good working condition; being able to supply
both 12 volts DC and 120 volts AC, in order to operate the appliances and entertainment devices
installed in your motorhome.
NOTICE NOTICE
It is possible to overload the electrical system if too many electrical appliances and entertainment
devices are operating at the same time, particularly if the electrical power is being supplied only by
the generator. Be familiar with the power demand (in watts) of the devices being operated and do
not exceed the power capacity (in watts) of the generator.
