110-VOLT CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The breaker panel protects all 110-volt components in the motor home from either an overload on the circuit
or a short in the wiring or component itself. When an overload or short develops, the breaker will open
preventing any further flow of electricity and, therefore, damage to the system.
Shut off the equipment (example: roof air conditioner) and allow a brief cooling period. Then reset the
breaker by moving the switch to “Off” and back to “On”. If the breaker is continually tripped and no overload
is evident, have the system checked for a short in the wiring or the appliances.
Further Information
Refer to the converter manufacturer’s information provided for additional information about your power
converter system.
110-Volt Receptacles (Outlets)
A number of standard AC electrical outlets are provided throughout the coach for connecting small appliances
such as televisions, radios, toasters, etc. Outlets are located also on the outside of the coach on some
models.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI)
Exterior, bath and galley outlets are connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter),
which is an extremely sensitive circuit breaker that will help to protect against severe electrical
shock if a ground fault develops. If such a condition occurs, the GFCI will break the circuit by
turning off the power to the protected outlets. Should this occur, unplug all the appliances on
that circuit and press the reset button on the GFCI equipped outlet.
If the GFCI keeps tripping, have the electrical system checked and repaired if necessary
before using again. The GFCI outlet is located in the bath, bedroom, and dinette area or on the exterior of
the coach, depending on the model and floor plan of the vehicle.
WARNING
The GFCI will not completely eliminate electrical shock. Small children and persons with heart
conditions or other disabilities, which make them especially sensitive to electrical shock, may still be
injured by a 110-volt receptacle even though protected by a Ground Fault interrupter.
NOTE: In compliance with CSA electrical codes, the appliance outlet in Canadian equipped coaches is not connected
to a GFCI protected circuit.
