APPLIANCES AND SYSTEMS
connecting a portable solar panel, a separate solar
charge controller is not needed and will reduce
the effectiveness of the portable solar panel.
NOTE: The Solar Charge Panel is not intended
to make the house battery system
“maintenance free.” The solar panel will
not completely compensate for
continuous low amperage draw from
components such as the propane gas leak
detector, for example.
Although the Solar Charge Panel can
help to extend battery life, the
motorhome shoreline should be plugged
in routinely to “top off” the battery. We
also recommend following regular
battery inspection and maintenance,
especially in cold weather.
See “Battery Care” in Section 6 -
Electrical.
Further Information
Refer to the manufacturer’s user manual
provided in your InfoCase for complete operating
instructions.
POWER CONTROL SYSTEM
(PCS)
The Power Control System (PCS) monitors
the electrical usage of the appliances and
equipment in the motorhome and allows you to
use certain high energy appliances, without
overloading the shoreline/inverter circuit breaker
or generator to help prevent nuisance tripping.
Further Information
Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide
provided in your InfoCase for important
information on how this system operates under
several conditions, whether, 15-amp, 20-amp,
30-amp, or generator service.
HEATING SYSTEM – FURNACE
AND INDIRECT WATER
HEATING
The heating system in your motorhome is a
propane and 110V power unit that provides warm
forced air for heating and supplies hot water
through an integrated boiler.
Read the Manufacturer’s Operation Manual
for complete Safety Warnings, Operating
Instructions, and Maintenance Information
before operating the heating system.
The control panel controls motorhome interior
heating temperature, water temperature, and
allows you to select energy sources for the
system.
