FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL
The recreation vehicle is designed to be connected to a 50 amp service which provides a
combined total of 240 Volts. The 240 Volts comes from two separate 120 Volt lines that are
in the shore power cord. The recreation vehicle should never be connected to any power
source that will provide anything more then 120 Volts on either line coming in. Failure to
follow this will result in serious damage to internal items that are plugged in.
A 50 amp shoreline power cord is provided to attach the recreation vehicle to a grounded power
source. The electric utility service connection is located on the driver’s side of the recreation
vehicle near the rear, in various locations depending on the model that you have. The power cord
is stored inside the electric utility service compartment. The electric utility service door has a slot
with a cover that can be moved to the side, allowing the power cord to be used and the door to be
closed and locked for security.
When connecting or disconnecting from a grounded external power source, always turn off the
shore power breaker to the power supply outlet. This will prevent accidental shock and flashing of
electrical contacts. After connecting the recreation vehicle to the grounded external power source,
wait a few minutes for the inverter/charger (if equipped) to stabilize charging of the batteries before
starting large AC loads such as the air conditioner
NOTE: Shown below are the three types of shore power outlets which are most commonly used
throughout the United States.
The chassis and/or auxiliary batteries of a recreation vehicle may be located behind the front hood
of the recreation vehicle or in an exterior compartment. This battery is mounted in a battery box
with removable lid. To access the battery, remove the screws and lift the top case off. When rein-
stalling the cover make sure all connections are tight and the lid seals completely when secured
to prevent battery fumes into interior of the coach.
It is important to make sure that batteries are kept charged. Take time to turn off all lights or other
12 Volt conveniences when not in use. Connect the recreation vehicle to a 120 volt power supply
when possible, instead of draining the batteries.The charge condition of the batteries can be
checked with the monitor panel. To check, press and hold monitor test switch while reading the
charge level on the battery gauge. Charge levels indicated are divided into sections from weak
through fully charged.
