The bulbs in the interior lights are all easily replaced if they burn out. Round, exposed bulbs, such as those
around the bathroom mirror and reading lights, are replaced by depressing them into their base, then
turning to the left about 1/4 turn. This will allow them to "pop" out part way, so they can be removed.
WARNING: If they are difficult to turn, use a folded rag to protect your hand when grasping the
bulb in case it should unexpectedly shatter.
The ceiling and wardrobe light lenses are removed by squeezing the sides of the lens in until they clear the
frame. In cold weather it is helpful to leave the light on for a while to soften the plastic and avoid cracking.
Incandescent bulbs are removed by depressing and turning to the left about 1/4 turn. Fluorescent bulbs are
removed by turning in either direction.
12-Volt Operation
The switch just inside the door marked "aux. batt. " or just "batt. " is the main 12-volt kill switch. Anytime
you are using the coach, leave this switch "on".
The only thing you have to do is make sure the coach batteries don't run down. In normal usage there isn't
any problem, since you would normally drive part of the day and be plugged into a campground at night.
The alternator charges the batteries when you drive and when you're plugged into city power the converter
charges the batteries and carries much of the load.
Some nights you may not find a place to plug into city power. No problem; the standard two battery system
gives you about 210 amp-hours so you can comfortably run your lights and vents in a normal fashion
without depleting the batteries.
If you are not plugged into city power and you're not driving, you'll want to conserve your batteries by
using as few lights and appliances as possible. If you notice the lights becoming dim, it's much easier on the
batteries if you go ahead and start the engine or generator before the batteries run down.
Your motorhome is equipped with a 5-watt solar panel. There is an indicator light to the left of the micro
that is on when there is enough sunlight to have a charging condition.
There are two sets of 12-volt fuses and breakers in your motorhome. The main interior circuits are below
the glove box behind the access panel. The brightly colored fuses pull straight out from the face of the
panel. Replacement fuses are available at automotive stores and most service stations.
The second set of fuses is the ones provided by the chassis manufacturer. Ford fuses are located under the
front hood under a black plastic cover.
Four in-line fuses are also used:
•
Two are by the battery disconnect solenoid above the center of the exterior hood opening. One
fuses the switch wire and the other protects the wiring to the indicator light.
•
The fourth fuse is a 30-amp fuse at the left side of the steering column and is for the heater blower
motor.
