Shore power is the delivery of electrical power from
another source to a power inlet on your trailer. To
connect your trailer to this source, you must have a
“shore power” cord, specifically designed for this
use.
DO NOT USE AN ORDINARY
EXTENSION CORD.
The trailer end of this cord is connected to an
electrical box on the trailer, sometimes referred to
as a “motor base.” This box contains circuit
breakers and/or fuses and may include a power
converter to change the shore power (usually 110
volts alternating current) into 12 volts direct
current.
Do not assume that a shore power supply is
correctly wired. Shore power may have incorrect
polarity or not have the safety ground. Before
connecting your trailer, test shore power by using a
polarity and ground tester, which can be purchased
at electronic stores.
If you have shore power, your trailer may be fitted
with Ground-Fault Interrupting outlets (GFI). If
you have GFI protection, you must periodically test
the outlets by pressing the “TEST” button that is
located on the GFI-equipped outlet.
^ WARNING
Shore power poses a risk of death due to
electrocution.
Always use a grounded connection.
Never connect to an ungrounded source of
shore power.
Never remove the “third prong” from the
shore power plug.
^ WARNING
Risk of fire.
Connect only to source of correct voltage.
Do not overload electrical circuits.
Do not use an extension cord to connect to
shore power.
Replace fuses with like rating.

LP gas systems are installed to operate a variety of
appliances, such as stoves, refrigerators, heating
units and electrical generators. The exhaust fumes
from burning LP gas contain carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide gas is odorless and can cause
death or serious brain injury if inhaled. The
exhaust from LP appliances must be directed to the
outdoors. You must have an operating carbon
monoxide detector in the accommodation space of
your trailer.
^ DANGER
You can die or be brain damaged by
Carbon Monoxide.
Make certain the exhaust from LP
appliances is directed to the outdoors.
Have a working carbon monoxide detector
in the accommodation spaces of your
trailer before operating any LP gas
appliance.
Do not operate portable grills, portable
stoves, portable lanterns or portable
heaters inside the trailer.
When used for the first time, or after a period of
storage, the LP gas lines will be full of air and must
be purged of air, before the appliances will stay lit.
Have the LP gas lines purged by your trailer dealer,
or an LP gas dealer.
An LP gas system is designed to operate with a
supply of LP gas only, NOT natural gas. A natural
gas supply is unsafe for the system’s pressure
regulation devices.
^ WARNING
Risk of death due to fire or explosion.
Do not connect an LP gas system to a
supply of natural gas.
Extinguish all pilot lights and turn off all
appliances before refilling fuel or LP gas
tanks.
Do not fill the tank with any gas other than
LP (butane or propane).
Do not store LP gas tanks inside the trailer.
