120-Volt AC System
POWER CORD
Your trailer is equipped with a 30-amp (or optional 50-amp) rated power cord pre-wired
into the breaker box. By opening the cable hatch door, the 30-amp cord can be pulled from
the compartment and attached to the campground power source. The 50-amp cord can be
removed from storage and attached to the trailer and the campground power source. Power
will enter through the main breaker. It is distributed through the circuit breakers to wall
receptacles and any appliances wired directly, such as an air conditioner. The cord extends
approximately 25’–35’ (7 to 10 meters) from the trailer depending on floor plan. Your RV
power cord must be fully extended and not left coiled in the compartment or on the ground.
If the cord is left coiled, it creates potential for heat to melt the cord’s casing together.
To prevent accidental electrical shock, insure that the ground pin on the attachment plug
cap is intact to the earth ground through the RV park receptacle. Any accidental short of a
live circuit conductor will trip the circuit breaker indicating a shorted circuit. Make sure
that the polarity of the external power is not reversed, in order to avoid harm to appliances
and personal electrical shock. Polarity indicators may be purchased in most electrical and
hardware stores.
It is strongly recommended to avoid the use of extension cords. Using an improper
extension cord will cause overheating of the cord and equipment, and it voids the warranty.
It may also cause premature failure of the AC equipment. If you choose to use an extension
cord, it MUST be the same amperage rating as the RV power cord and be identified for
heavy-duty outdoor use. However, the use of an extension cord can still cause all of the
problems discussed here and will void the warranty.
I
WARNING: Do not use an adapter, cheater or extension cord that will
break the continuity of the grounding circuit connected to the third pin.
NEVER remove the grounding pin to connect a non-grounded, two-prong
receptacle. Any deviation from this will potentially cause a fire from
overheating.
