Battery Charge Meter
To get an accurate reading:
•
Both the chassis engine and the generator
engine must be shut off and 120-volt AC

An interior light should be turned on to

battery surface charge.
POWER CONTROL SYSTEM
(PCS)
The Power Control System (PCS) monitors
the electrical usage of the appliances and
equipment in the coach and allows you to use
certain high energy appliances, such as the
microwave or washer/dryer, without overloading
the shoreline circuit breaker to prevent nuisance
tripping.
