ICAL SYSTEM
AUXILIARY BATTERY (Aux. Batt)
SWITCH
The AUX BATT switch disconnects the aux-
iliary (coach) batteries from the 12-volt system of
your coach to avoid long-term battery drain by
electrical items that are hooked directly to the
coach batteries, such as clock displays and radio
memories, etc.
Always leave this switch ON except during
storage periods. Some electronic displays and
memory functions may need to be reset after
power has been reconnected.
See also Battery Storage and Maintenance in
this Section.
DC-AC Electrical Voltage
Inverter - 300 Watt - Optional
The voltage inverter changes 12 volt DC cur-
rent into 110 volt AC current to operate your TV
and DVD/VCP while traveling or when shoreline
hookup is not available.
•
The inverter must be switched on to operate.
•
Turn the inverter off when not in use to avoid
draining the coach batteries.
NOTE: Batteries will deplete quickly with use of
the inverter. The inverter is intended for
limited, short term power usage and not
to supply household current needs for
‘dry camping’ without generator or
shoreline power.
12-VOLT HOUSE FUSES AND
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
All 12-volt circuits and equipment in the
coach area of the motor home are protected by
either a fuse panel or breaker panel. When a
circuit is overloaded or a short develops in any
part of the system, a fuse or breaker will shut
down that circuit. If this happens, turn off all
affected lights or appliances and reset the breaker
or replace the fuse with a new one of equal
amperage rating.
