ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
12-VOLT DC SYSTEM
The DC voltage system consists of the auto-
motive batteries and the 12-volt coach auxiliary
batteries.
12-VOLT FUSES AND CIRCUIT
BREAKERS
All 12-volt circuits and equipment in the
coach area of the motor home are protected by a
circuit breaker panel. When a circuit is over-
loaded or a short developes in any part of the
system, a breaker will shut down that circuit. If
this happens, turn off all affected lights or appli-
ances and reset the breaker.
A label on the panel states the amperage
rating and circuit protected for each breaker.
