ELECTRICAL SYSTEM – 50 AMP
system. It may have additional outlets wired
through, and protected by, the GFCI. Its
function is to reduce possible injury caused by
electric shock. The GFCI will not protect
against short circuits or overloads.
Test all GFCI receptacles monthly
The 120-volt AC electrical system must be on
in order to test the GFCI.
1. Plug a 120-volt AC
electrical device into
the GFCI receptacle outlet.
2. Push and release the RESET button (the
120-volt
AC electrical device should
operate normally).
3.
Push in the TEST button.
4.
The RESET button should pop out
indicating the GFCI receptacle has been
“tripped” and the 120-volt AC electrical
device should cease to operate.
5. Push in the RESET button again and it
should hold. If the GFCI did not trip, do not
use the GFCI receptacle outlet or those
wired to it. Call your dealer for repair
assistance if it does not hold and pops
back out. Any faulty equipment must be
repaired before your RV is used again.
Although your RV’s exterior power receptacle
(if so equipped) is not a GFCI receptacle
outlet, it is wired through and protected by the
interior GFCI.
If your power cord is connected to 50-amp
service properly and the 120 VAC system is
not operating, we recommend you test all the
GFCI outlets, check the circuit breakers in the
load center and test your external power
source receptacle before calling your dealer
for assistance.

When you purchase and use 120-volt
appliances, remember your RV is limited to a
maximum load of 50 amps. When camping
and traveling, remember each appliance and
120-volt accessory places a load on the RV
electrical system. You may periodically trip a
circuit breaker if the combined load of these
appliances and accessories exceeds your 30
amp rating.
You can determine the amperage rating of an
appliance by dividing the watts used (usually
found on a label or plate affixed to the
appliance) by your RV’s supply voltage.
For example: 1200-watts divided by
120-volts AC equals 10-amps.

The factory-installed generator will produce
120-volt AC power for use when camping in
areas where shore power is unavailable. 120-
volt power from the generator is outputted to
the AC distribution center by way of a factory-
installed automatic transfer switch. In the
default mode, the automatic transfer switch
connects the generator to the AC distribution
center when the generator is operating and
shore power is disconnected from the trailer.
The power to start the generator comes from
the auxiliary batteries (customer supplied). A
remote start/stop switch is located on the
generator. Be aware the generator runs on
gasoline and gives off carbon monoxide (see
Occupant Safety).
Generator prep (if so equipped)
Generator prep means the RV has the basic
wiring necessary for installation of an
aftermarket generator (customer supplied).
RV generators are built in compliance with
specific codes and standards. Your RV is not
designed to use generators other than those
built specifically for RVs. When you are ready
to purchase this aftermarket generator,
consult your dealer for purchasing and
installation assistance.

The majority of your RV lighting is powered by
12-volt electricity. The 12-volt DC system is
composed of components that will operate
when the following conditions are met:
□
Power is supplied by the tow vehicle
alternator when the engine is running and
the 7-way trailer plug is connected. This
powers the RV’s running lights, brake
lights, turn signals and brakes.
