recommended operation inflation pressure.  
Move the vehicle at least every three months to 
prevent ozone cracking in the tire bulge area as 

well as “flat spotting” from prolonged strain of 

sidewall and tread deflection.  Make sure you 
check the inflation and adjust to the 
recommended operating pressure before 
putting the vehicle back into service. 
 

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 

 
Your Glacier RV is equipped with two (2) 
separate electrical systems that provide your 
vehicle with power. 
 

12-VOLT DC/110-VOLT AC 

 
Like all vehicles, it has a 12-volt system that is 

used for running the vehicle’s equipment 

designed for 12-volt operation as well as other 
accessories.  This is a direct current (DC) system 
(12V). 
 
Like your home, the vehicle has a 110-volt 
alternation current (AC) system that requires an 
external source of 110-volt electricity.  A 
shoreline connection (extension cord) or a 
power generator or an inverter can provide this 
power.  In order to use your 12-volt electrical 
system, your shoreline (power cord) should be 
plugged into either a properly rated external 
power source or the generator should be 
running, or in some cases the inverter should be 
turned on.  TO CONSERVE BATTERY POWER, 
USE OF THE SHORELINE IS RECOMMENDED 
WHENEVER POSSIBLE. 
 

Consult your generator’s manufacturer’s

 

owner’s manual for further details on its use 

and maintenance. 
 
DO NOT USE A CHEATER PLUG TO HOOK UP 
YOUR MOTOR HOME TO A 110-VOLT CIRCUIT. 
 
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH A 
CURRENT RATING LESS THAN THE AMPERAGE 
YOUR RV REQUIRES.  EXTRA EXTENSION CORDS 

REDUCE THE AMPERAGE AND VOLTAGE BEING 
SUPPLIED TO THE RV AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE 
TO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.  
 

30-AMP 110-VOLT SERVICE 

 
Your Glacier RV comes with a 30-amp service.  
30-amp service is 110-volt service limited to a 
total of 30 amps of draw.  A three pronged 
power supply cord much like your clothes dryer 
would have in your house identifies this type of 
power supply.  Each appliance in your vehicle is 
capable of working by itself with this type of 
service.  However, you may not be able to 
operate all your appliances at the same time 
without causing a circuit breaker to blow.   
 
A typical component in your vehicle such as a 
TV or VCR will draw only about 1 amp.  Other 
items such as coffee makers and microwaves 
will draw 10-15 amps when used.  Roof air 
conditioners usually draw the most, pulling up 
to 15 amps when the compressor is running.  
Using other items in your coach such as 
converters, refrigerators, water heaters, etc. 
may put your draw over the 30-amp mark 
causing a circuit break. 
 
30-amp service is the most common electrical 
service in the RV industry and can be found at 
most, if not all, RV campgrounds.  This makes 
30-amp service the most user friendly as far as 
availability.   
 
Listed are components that might be used in 
Glacier vehicles and the maximum amperage 
draw each one has:
