If a breaker immediately trips again or trips frequently, contact your dealer to diagnose and repair the problem.
Maintenance and replacement
Circuit breaker switches can wear out. Test the breakers annually, at the beginning of the camping season. Replace
them as needed, during normal maintenance.
•
To TEST:
Flip each breaker switch to the OFF position, then back to the ON position.
For further information, Contact your dealer.

The Power Converter changes 120-volt AC power to usable 12-volt DC power when the shore power cord is connect-
ed to an external power source. A thermal breaker is built-in to the converter to protect it from overheating.
Overheating is usually caused by the converter operating above its maximum power output for an extended time
period, or too little air flow. To reduce converter heat, do not run any unnecessary 12-volt lights/motors/appliances
and keep the converter cooling fins and fan clear of obstructions.
Inspection and maintenance
If the 12-volt power converter is NOT working, or the auxiliary battery is not being charged:
1. Locate the converter fuse panel on one end of the converter.
2. Check the reverse polarity fuse or fuses.
The manufacturer’s warranty will be void if the case has been removed. There are no customer serviceable
parts inside.
For further information, Contact your dealer.

Grounding is your personal protection from electrical shock. Each RV has a ground fault current interrupter (GFCI)
engineered into the electrical system. This device has been designed to reduce the possible injury caused by electric
shock. The GFCI will not protect against short circuits or circuit overloads.
•
A tripped GFCI receptacle indicates that abnormally high 120-volt current flow (a ground fault) was detected
through the electrical system grounding circuit.
A fault condition can be caused by faulty wire insulation, wet wiring inside an appliance, or faulty electrical equip-
ment connected to the circuit, etc. All ground faults must be repaired before use of the RV.
Test all GFCI receptacles monthly
•
Push in
the TEST button. This should
pop out
the RESET button, indicating the GFCI receptacle has been
