Connecting the Power Cord
To connect to an external source, remove the
cord from the utility compartment and plug it into
a suitable power outlet to provide external power
to the coach and converter/charger system.
A flip down hatch in the compartment floor
lets you route the power cord through a passage
in the bottom of the compartment so you can
shut the compartment door while the power cord
is connected.
1. Swivel the hatch retainers aside and lower the
hatch.
2. Swivel the cord notch cover aside.
3. Route the cord through the notch and close the
hatch.
The three-prong power cord is designed to
ground the electrical system through the
receptacle. It is also designed to carry the
amperage output of most campground outlets. If
the electrical receptacle to be used is designed to
mate with the three prongs on the power cord
plug, the electrical connection can be expected to
carry rated load.
Park Fuses or Breakers
Most campgrounds are equipped with a fuse
or circuit breaker at the receptacle. 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.
After disconnecting the power cord, neatly
replace it in the utility compartment.
POWER CENTER
(Converter)
The power converter changes 110-volt AC
current from the auxiliary generator or the
shoreline into 12-volt DC current for use by 12-
volt equipment in the motor home.
