SECTION 6
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM – 30 AMP
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.

When you purchase and use 120-volt
appliances, remember your RV is limited to a
maximum load of 30 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 optional 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 output 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.
Generator prep with gas tank is standard;
meaning 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.

YSTEM
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.
In addition, the 7-way trailer plug provides
a common ground and a 12-volt charge
line to charge the auxiliary battery.
□ The converter will supply interior 12-volt
DC power when the power cord is plugged
into campground power. The converter will
also charge the auxiliary battery in most
situations.
□ The auxiliary battery powers many interior
12-volt components including the lighting
fixtures, water pump, 12-volt motors, 12-
volt appliances, etc. It also powers the
breakaway switch.
