Your RV is equipped with a 120-volt AC/30
amp power cord and load center. A maximum
of 30 amps of power can be consumed at any
given time. It may be necessary to stagger
usage of some appliances to maintain your
power usage at 30 amps or lower. The 120-volt
AC system provides power to most of the
appliances and all of the electrical outlets.

REAKERS
The circuit breaker panel protects the 120-volt
electrical system from overloads, shorts in the
wiring
and
shorts
in
the
connected
components. When an overload or short
occurs, the circuit breaker will open (or “trip”)
preventing any further flow of electricity and
damage to the RV.
If a circuit breaker has been tripped, shut OFF
the connected appliance (i.e., air conditioner,
microwave, etc.) and allow a brief cooling
period. Then reset the circuit breaker by
moving the appropriate switch OFF and back
ON. If the circuit breaker is continually tripped
and no overload is evident, contact your dealer
to have the electrical system tested and
repaired.

not offer complete protection of the RV
electrical system in the event of a power surge
or voltage spike.
Maintenance
At the beginning of camping season, inspect
all the breakers. Turn each breaker OFF and
back ON. Have the circuit breakers replaced
as needed.
Replacement
Please contact your RV dealer for repair
assistance when replacing circuit breakers.

The 30 amp power cord is also commonly
referred to as the “shore line power cord.” This
power cord is designed to ground the RV
electrical system through the external power
source receptacle. It is also designed to carry
30 amps at a nominal 120 volts.
Occasionally the electrical service provided by
a campground may experience low or high
voltage (i.e., surges or spikes). Any prolonged
exposure will shorten the life of the electrical
system and appliances. Consult your dealer
for
recommendations
on
power
surge
protection.
Connecting the power cord
Always test the 30 amp external power source
(i.e., the campsite power box or electrical box)
with a ground monitor, before connecting your
power cord to it. If the ground monitor indicates
‘reverse polarity’ or an ‘open ground’
DO NOT
connect the power cord.
1. Turn OFF the load center main 120-volt
circuit breaker.
2. Carefully extend the entire length of the
power cord (approximately 25’ - 35’) from
the electric cable hatch to the external
power source.
3. Plug the power cord into the receptacle. Be
sure all the power cord prongs are properly
plugged into the receptacle.
4. Return to your RV and turn ON the load
center main circuit breaker.
5. To help prevent power surges from
damaging the connected loads, please
follow these instructions when hooking up
to the external power source:
The shore line power cord should be
unplugged when the RV is left unattended.
If something would happen to the electrical
system, this may help limit potential
damage.

WARNING
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.
