The power cord (or shore power cord) connects your RV to an external power receptacle. This heavy-duty cord has a
dual purpose.
• It carries voltage and current to your RV from the external power receptacle, and
• Grounds your RV electrical system through the external power receptacle.
ALWAYS test the external power receptacle (or electrical box) with a Ground Monitor BEFORE connecting your
power cord.
NEVER connect the power cord if the ground monitor indicates reverse polarity or an open ground.
Connecting the power cord
1. Turn OFF the load center main 120-volt circuit breaker.
2. Carefully extend the entire length of the power cord from the electric cable hatch to the external power source.
3. Plug the power cord into the receptacle. Make sure that all of the power cord prongs are properly seated into the
receptacle.
4. Return to your RV and turn ON the load center main circuit breaker.
