Electrical Systems
Your motor home is equipped with a heavy duty,
power cord. It is commonly called the “shore
cord.” This cord is used to connect to external 120-
volt AC service. The cord and connector is molded
together to form a weatherproof cable assembly.
Do not cut or alter the cable in any way. Do not
remove the ground pin in the cable connector , or
defeat the ground circuit in the motor home.
To connect the power cord to external service,
turn off both the circuit breakers at the external
service and the motor home power distribution
panel, push the plug straight into the receptacle.
Power Converter
The converter will automatically supply 12-volt
DC power when your motor home is operating
on 120-volt from the generator or a public util-
ity. The DC power converter will charge the
chassis and house batteries when plugged into
120-volt AC service or by the generator.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI)
Bathroom, galley, and patio 120-volt electrical
outlets are protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). This device is intended
to protect you against the hazards of electrical
shocks possible when using electrical appliances
in the bathroom or galley or in damp areas.
Should a circuit or appliance (electric shaver,
hair dryer, etc.) develop a potential shock haz-
ard, the GFCI device is designed to disconnect
the outlet (and other outlets on the same circuit),
limiting your exposure time.
Test the GFCI at least once a month. To test
the GFCI:
1. Connect the main power cord to 120-volt
AC.
2. Push the TEST button. The RESET button
should pop out, indicating that the protect-
ed circuit has been disconnected.
3. If the RESET button does not pop out when
the test button is pushed, a loss of ground
fault protection is indicated. Do not use
any electrical outlets. Have the motor home
electrical system checked at an authorized
Fleetwood dealer or by a qualified electri-
cian. Do not use the system until the prob-
lem has been corrected.
4. To restore power push the RESET button.
Generator
(If Equipped)
Your motor home may be equipped with a gaso-
line or Propane-powered generator which will
provide complete electrical self-containment
when regular public utility AC power is unavail-
able. Controls are at the generator and at a
remote panel located in the living area of the
motor home.
WARNING
Do not operate the 120-volt electrical system
without a proper ground. Electrocution or severe
electrical shock could result.
!
CAUTION
Switch off the 50 amp main breakers located in the
120-volt AC load center (breaker panel) before you
insert or remove the 50 amp power plug. Be sure
to insert or remove the plug straight into or out of
the receptacle. The neutral and both 120-volt volt
pins should make contact at the same time to avoid
excessive voltage on one leg of the circuit that could
damage 120-volt appliances.
!
NOTE
If an outlet doesn’t work, check the GFCI. Reset it
if necessary. If the GFCI continues to trip, have the
motor home’s electrical system checked at an autho-
rized Fleetwood dealer or by a qualified electrician.

WARNING
Do not install 12-volt fuses or 120-volt breakers with
amperage ratings greater than that specified on the
device or label. Doing so constitutes a fire hazard.
