SECTION 6
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

To connect to an external power source, route
the cord out of the storage compartment and plug
it into a suitable power receptacle.
The three-prong power cord is designed to
ground the electrical system through the recepta-
cle. It is also designed to carry the amperage out-
put of most campground outlets. If the electrical
receptacle to be used is designed to mate with the
three prongs on the power cord plug, the electri-
cal connection can be expected to carry rated
load.
Most campgrounds are equipped with a fuse
or circuit breaker at the receptacle. This protects
the park’s wiring, as well as the power cord on
your vehicle, from electrical damage. If electrical
power fails, contact the park attendants and have
them check the fuse or breaker for your supply
receptacle.
When disconnecting the power cord, neatly
replace it in the storage compartment.
POWER LOAD CENTER
The load center is located on the end of the
vanity cabinet just inside the entry door on model
22FD. On models 22QD and 22HD, it is located
on the front of the left dinette seat base.
The load center panel contains the coach 110-
volt circuit breakers and 12-volt fuses.
POWER CONVERTER
The power converter changes 110-volt AC
current from the auxiliary generator or the shore-
line into 12-volt DC current for use by 12-volt
equipment in the motor home.
Certain circuits, however, remain unchanged
for use by items which require 110-volt current,
Do not
connect the external power
cord to any receptacle until you have
contacted the owner and/or attendant
of the premises to verify proper polar-
ity and grounding.
It is the responsibility of the owner of
the electrical receptacle to ensure that
the receptacle is properly wired and
grounded.
Reverse polarity and improper
grounding of the vehicle can cause
personal injury or death
WARNING
30 Amp Receptacle
Do not
plug the power cord into an
outlet which is not grounded, or adapt
the plug to connect to a receptacle for
which it is not designed.
Be sure that all three prongs of the
supply cord are properly plugged into
the receptacle.
Do not
connect the power cord to an
extension cord.
Do not
plug the power cord into the
generator receptacle while the gener-
ator is running
