ELECTRICAL
Park Fuses or Breakers
Most campgrounds are equipped with a fuse
or circuit breaker at the receptacle (which we
recommend shutting off before engaging or
disengaging the power cord.) 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.
INVERTER/CHARGER UNIT –
2000W (PURE SINE WAVE)
–If Equipped
The 2000-watt inverter/charger has an AC
input circuit breaker to protect the inverter/
charger from overloads. The inverter/charger
also has “built in” features that protect the system
from abnormal conditions. See the inverter/
charger information included in your InfoCase
for a complete explanation of the system and
operating instructions.
NOTE: The inverter is not intended for steady
use while “dry camping”. Batteries will
deplete quickly with use of the inverter.
The inverter is intended for limited, short
term power usage when not connected to
shoreline or generator power.
The inverter can also be used while
driving the motorhome because the
engine alternator will charge the
batteries while driving.
The inverter/charger unit is located in the
utility compartment or mid-passenger side
compartment, depending on model.
The inverter converts 12-volt DC current from
the house batteries into 120-volt AC current for
use by 120-volt AC equipment in the motorhome.
Charging Section
While connected to 120-volt external power,
the inverter/charger will recharge the house
batteries using a 3-stage battery charger. It will
also supply 12-volt DC current for use by 12-volt
equipment in the motorhome.
If the house batteries have been significantly
discharged, they will accept charge at a relatively
high amperage rate. If they are only slightly
discharged, they will charge at a lower amperage
WARNING
Service inlet access must be closed when
utility connections are not in use.
NOTICE
Do not store items too closely around the
inverter unit in the storage compartment.
The inverter generates heat while
operating and needs unrestricted airflow
for proper cooling. Damage to the inverter
can result.
