Inverter (If so Equpped)
Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with a factory-installed inverter that converts 12-
volt DC current to 120-volt AC current. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the
inverter function and operation. The inverter should be “off” when not in use.
The factory-installed inverter is not intended for use with medical device(s).
An inverter converts 12-volts DC to useable 120-volts AC and supplies continuous AC
power to the appliance plugged into it. Your recreation vehicle may use an inverter to supply
the 120-volts AC necessary to power a residential style refrigerator (if so equipped). The
inverter in your recreation vehicle has been carefully selected to provide proper power to
operate the refrigerator safely.
Inspection and maintenance
If the inverter is not functioning, check the fuse protecting the inverter input. If you have
further concerns contact your dealer. There are no customer serviceable parts inside
the inverter case and the manufacturer’s warranty will be void if the case has been
removed . As with the converter, cooling fins and the cooling fan should be kept clear of any
obstructions.
Converter
The power converter converts 120-volt AC power to useable 12-volt DC power when the
shore power cord is connected to an external power source.
The converter has a built-in protective thermal breaker that will shut it down should
overheating occur. Overheating can be caused by operating the converter above its maximum
power output for an extended period of time, or by an obstruction to its ventilation air flow.
To reduce converter heat build, keep unnecessary 12-volt lights and motors turned “off”
.
Keep the converters cooling fins and fan clear of obstructions.
Inspection and maintenance
If the 12-volt power converter is not working (auxiliary battery not being charged) check
Replacement
Only replace circuit breakers with those of the same specified type, voltage, and current
rating. Never replace a circuit breaker with one listed at a higher amperage rating. Please
contact your dealer for repair assistance when replacing circuit breakers.
Maintenance
At the beginning of camping season, inspect the circuit breakers and replace as needed. Test
by turning each circuit breaker “off” and back “on”. Circuit breakers are wearable parts and
must be replaced as needed, as part of your RV maintenance. If you have any questions,
consult your dealer.
A label is provided to explain the function of every 120-volt circuit breaker. This label is
located on or near the appropriate load center or sub-panel and must remain permanently
affixed to the recreation vehicle.
Replacement circuit breakers must be of the same voltage, amperage rating
and type. Never use a higher rated replacement circuit breaker; doing so may
cause a fire by overheating the RV wiring.
