IF SO EQUIPPED
)
Your motor home is equipped with a 50 amp 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system.
The entire system is designed to operate on 2 legs of 120-volt power at a
maximum current flow of 50 amperes per leg. Exposure to voltages higher or
lower than a nominal 120-volts will damage or shorten the service life of the
electrical system and appliances. The 50 amp 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system
can be powered by the 120-volt 60hz utilities found in RV campgrounds or by 120-
volt 60hz generator power.
The following electrical components will only operate when your motor home is
connected to shore or generator power: 120 to 12-volt power converter, air
conditioner(s), refrigerator, microwave oven, television(s), home theater system(s),
electric water heater, washer, dryer, fireplace, and appliances plugged into
convenience receptacles.

The power cord is also commonly referred to as the “shore power cord.” This
power cord is designed to ground the motor home electrical system through the
external power source receptacle. It is also designed to carry the voltage and
current output from campground power receptacles.
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.
WARNING
Make certain the external power source you connect the power cord to is a
properly wired
50 amp NEMA 14-50 RV receptacle and not 240 volt AC.
WARNING

Do not hook up the power cord to any receptacle until you have verified
proper polarity and grounding. Polarity indicators can be purchased in
most electrical and hardware stores.

Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reconfigure
incoming AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to the
grounding pin.

Do not connect the power cord into an outlet that is not grounded, or
adapt the power cord plug to connect it to a receptacle for which it is not
designed.

Do not remove the grounding pin to connect to a non-grounded
receptacle. Removal of the ground pin disables an important safety
feature designed to prevent shock and electrocution hazards.

Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord. Use of an improper
extension cord will cause overheating of the cord as well as potentially
causing premature failure of the AC equipment.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the electrical receptacle to ensure that
the receptacle is properly wired and grounded. Reverse polarity and/or
improper grounding of your
RV can cause personal injury or death.
