General Information
SECTION ONE
Dump Station:
A site where the waste (grey) and
sewage (black) tanks can be drained . In most states it
is illegal to drain waste tanks anywhere other than at a
dump station .
Dump Valve:
Another name for the T-handle valve
used to drain the sewage (black) and waste (grey)
tanks .
Escape (Egress) Window: The formal name for the
emergency exit window located in the motorhome .
Egress windows are identified by their red handles .
Full Hook-Up Site: A campground that has city water,
shore power and sewer hook-ups or connections
available .
Grey Water: Term associated with the waste water
holding tank . Water from the sink drains, the shower
and the washer-dryer (if equipped) go into this tank .
House Battery: Powers 12 Volt DC lights and
accessories inside motorhome .
HVAC:
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning .
LED (Light Emitting Diode): Indicator light .
Liquid Lead Acid Battery (LLA):
A type of battery
that uses liquid as an electrolyte . This type of battery
requires periodic maintenance such as cleaning the
connections and checking the electrolyte level .
Low Point Drain:
The lowest point in the plumbing .
Drains are placed here so water will drain out of the
lower end of the motorhome . Drains must be closed
when the water tank is filled .
OEM:
Term for Original Equipment Manufacturer .
OHM: A unit for measuring electrical resistances .
Ohm’s Law:
Expresses the relationship between Volt
(E), amperes (I) in an electrical circuit with resistance
(R) . It can be expressed as follows: I = V/R or V = I*R .
If any two of the three values are known, the third value
can be calculated by using the above formula .
Potable Water: Water that is safe for human
consumption .
Potentiometer: A device for measuring an unknown
potential difference or electromotive force .
Pounds Per Square Inch Gauge (psig):
Pressure
measured with respect to that of the atmosphere .
This is a pressure gauge reading in which the gauge is
adjusted to read zero at the surrounding atmospheric
pressure . It is commonly called gauge pressure .
Purge: The initial blast of air (decompression) from
the air dryer purge valve at the beginning of the air
compressor .
Purge Cycle:
The time during which he air dryer is
undergoing purge and regeneration . This cycle starts
at the beginning of the compressor unload cycle
and normally ends well before the beginning of the
compressor load cycle .
Regeneration: The reverse flow of air through the air
dryer and out the purge valve that begins immediately
after the purge and lasts normally 10 to 15 seconds .
This reverse flow of air, from the air system and
through the air dryer, removes moisture from the
desiccant cartridge and prepares the air dryer for the
next compressor load cycle .
Roadside:
The side of the motorhome that faces the
road while parked . Often called the off-door side or the
driver side .
SCA: Term for Supplemental Coolant Additive .
Chemical added to coolant for diesel engines to help
prevent cylinder liner pitting and internal corrosion .
Shore Cord: The electrical cord that connects the
motorhome to AC electrical supply .
Stinger: An arm attachment on a tow truck that is used
to lift the motorhome slightly for towing .
Volt:
The unit of measure for electric potential .
Watt: The unit for measuring electrical power, i .e . the
rate of doing work, in moving electrons by or against an
electric potential .
Wet Cell Battery: A type of battery that uses liquid as
an electrolyte . This type of battery requires periodic
maintenance to clean the connections and check the
electrolyte level .
