HOUSE BATTERY REPLACEMENT
This coach is equipped with deep-cycle type
batteries designed for recreational vehicle use.
They will provide longer lasting power than
standard automotive batteries, and will with-
stand the frequent drain-and-recharge cycles that
occur under the demanding conditions of RV
usage.
Replacement batteries should be deep-cycle
type with equivalent specifications to avoid loss
of electrical storage capacity.

TRAILER WIRING CONNECTOR
Your coach is pre-wired for trailer or car tow-
ing lights with a 6-pin socket on the rear bumper.
The connector plug is supplied in the coach parts
package provided to you by your dealer when
you took delivery of the vehicle.
The diagram below shows proper connection
of trailer or tow vehicle wiring to the coach light
system. To access the wire connections inside the
plug, remove the small screw near the end of the
plug and slide the contact assembly out of the
barrel.
To prevent wiring damage, it is
essential when replacing the cables
on the battery, or when using a
“booster” battery, that the positive
post and the positive cable be
attached and the negative post and
negative cable be attached. The posts
are marked (+) plus and (-) minus. If
a “fast charger” is used while battery
is in the motor home, disconnect both
battery cables before connecting the
charger. Never attempt to charge or
boost a frozen battery.
