ENTER
Your motor home is equipped with a Command Center that allows you to monitor
several systems from one location. For your convenience, the Command Center is
located near the kitchen area. More information on the controls located in the
Command Center will be discussed throughout this manual.

REAKERS
The 120-volt AC circuit breakers located inside the main load center and inverter
sub-panel protect all 120-volt wiring and components in the motor home from
circuit overloads and short circuits. Should a circuit overload or short circuit occur
the circuit breaker protecting the affected circuit will “trip” preventing the flow of
electricity through that circuit. If a circuit breaker trips, shut “off” the appliance on
that circuit (i.e., central air conditioner, etc.) and allow the circuit breaker to cool
down for a brief period of time.
After the cooling down period, reset the circuit breaker by moving its lever “off” and
then back to the “on” position. If the circuit breaker re-trips or frequently trips,
contact your dealer to have the electrical problem diagnosed and repaired.
A circuit breaker identification label is permanently attached to the inside surface
of the 120-volt load center.
Maintenance and Replacement
At the beginning of camping season, inspect the circuit breakers and replace as
needed. Test by turning each circuit breaker “off” and back “on”. Circuit breakers
are wearable parts and must be replaced as needed, as part of your motor home
maintenance. If you have any questions, consult your dealer.
Please contact your dealer for repair assistance when replacing circuit breakers
.

ONVERTER
The power converter converts 120-volt AC power to useable 12-volt DC power
when the shore power cord is connected to an external power source. The
converter has a built-in protective thermal breaker that will shut it down should
overheating occur. Overheating can be caused by operating the converter above
its maximum power output for an extended period of time, or by an obstruction to
its ventilation air flow. To reduce converter heat build keep unnecessary 12-volt
lights and motors turned “off”
.
Keep the converter cooling fins and fan clear of
obstructions.
Inspection and maintenance
If the 12-volt power converter is not working (auxiliary battery not being charged)
check the reverse polarity fuse(s) located on the end of the converter.
CAUTION
Circuit breakers and fuses will not offer complete protection of the electrical
system in the event of power surge or voltage spike.
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.
