ELECTRICAL FEATURES CONTINUED
BATTERY DISTRIBUTION CENTER
Your Wayfarer motorhome is equipped with a 12VDC battery distribution center located in the
motorhomes battery compartment (Figure 76.3).
The center has a 200AMP main coach disconnect/breaker which will turn off all 12V battery
power to the motorhome. There is also a 250AMP and 60AMP fuse which distributes the
12VDC power to components within the motorhome.
When the 200AMP 12VDC main circuit breaker is shut down or electrically tripped, it must be
manually reset. This breaker protects the slide outs, the AC ignition, the electric step, the
30AMP ignition system and the 12VDC disconnect system. As needed, manually reset the
circuit breaker or breakers.
Be careful when working around these connections as an accidental electrical short to ground
(i.e., momentarily connecting the "positive" or "hot" terminal to any part of the chassis) can be
hazardous and harmful.
To access the battery distribution center, open the access panel on the steps (Figure 76.2).
When access to the batteries are no longer needed close and securely fasten the access cover to
place the steps back into service (Figure 76.1).
