Connecting the Power Cord
To connect to an external power source,
remove the power cord from the utility
compartment and plug it into a suitable power
receptacle.
A small hatch in the compartment door lets
you route the power cord out of the compartment
so you can shut the compartment door while the
cord is connected.
Park Fuses or Breakers
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.
After disconnecting the power cord, neatly
stow it in the utility compartment.
POWER CENTER
(Converter)
The power converter is generally located in a
lower cabinet face in the galley, living area, or
beneath a bed depending on the floorplan of your
model.
The converter power panel contains the coach
electrical system 110-volt circuit breakers and
12-volt fuses.
The power converter changes 110-volt AC
current from the auxiliary generator or the
shoreline 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,
such as the air conditioner(s), the refrigerator in
AC mode, the microwave oven, etc.
WARNING
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.
