ELECTRICAL FEATURES CONTINUED
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPT RECEPTACLES (GFCI CONTINUED)
The GFCI should be tested at least once a month and/or when starting a new trip when the
motorhome has not been used for a while. The 120V VAC electrical system must be "ON" for
the GFCI to be tested.
To test the GFCI the reset button needs to be pushed in fully before starting the test. Push the
top test button, this will cause the reset button to pop out which means that the protected
circuits have been disconnected. Push the lower reset button back in until a "click" is heard.
This will re-activate the protected circuit and in line plugs. If the GFCI is working properly,
the reset button will remain in the "in" position.
INVERTER (1000 or 2000 Watts)
Your Wayfarer motorhome comes with a 1000W
or 2000W inverter (Figure 81 .1) that converts
12VDC power into 12VAC when 12VAC is not
available. Check your motorhome build to
determine your inverter size.
The inverter can create 120VAC to power the
entertainment system (e.g., TV's, Blu-Ray Player
and refrigerator) when 120VAC power is not
available.
The inverter will transfer or pass 120VAC power
to its loads when plugged into 30AMP shore
power or when the generator is running.
The inverter switch (Figure 81 .2) is located on the
central control panel usually located in the
bedroom of the motorhome. The switch allows for
quick inverter ON/OFF control and a quick
indication of the inverters power status.
