ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
General
The electrical system in your travel trailer is
composed of 120-volt AC (alternating current)
and 12-volt DC (direct current) capabilities. All
installations are made in compliance with safety
requirements of ANSI standard A.1192, National
Electric Code, and Canadian Standards Associa-
tion.
All conventional travel trailers and fifth-wheel
travel trailers will have 30-amp service pre-wired into breaker box. The option of 50 amp
service is available in some models.
Changes, Modifications and Additions
Any changes or additions made after delivery may cause a hazardous condition. Consult
your local authorized dealer prior to making any changes, modifications or additions.
Only qualified electrical technicians should attempt to make changes or additions to the
electrical system, using only approved materials, components, and employing approved
methods of installation, which meet safety and code requirements.
CAUTION:
Any electrical installation that does not meet the criteria of the
manufacturer’s specification will VOID THE WARRANTY on the electrical system.
120-Volt AC System
POWER CORD
Your travel trailer is equipped with a 30-amp rated power cord pre-wired into the breaker
box or a 50-amp rated power cord that is stored in the front trunk. By opening the cable
hatch door you can pull the power cord out from the compartment and attach it to a
power source. The power will enter through the main breaker and is distributed through
the circuit breakers to wall receptacles and any appliances wired directly as an air
conditioner would be. The cord extends approximately 20'–23' from the travel trailer
depending on floor plan.
To prevent accidental electrical shock, insure that the ground pin on the attachment plug
cap is intact to the earth ground through the RV park receptacle. When plugged into a
receptacle with no provision for the third pin, use an adapter with a pigtail that can be
connected to the receptacle box, with the grounding circuit completed through the ground
pin or RV park receptacle box. Any accidental short of a live circuit conductor will trip
the circuit breaker indicating a shorted circuit. You should be certain that the polarity of
the external power is not reversed, in order to avoid harm to appliances and personal
electrical shock. Polarity indicators may be purchased in most electrical and hardware
stores.
Extension cords should always be a heavy gauge of wire equal to or larger than the power
cord. Using too small of a cord will result in overheating and possibly burning or melting
of the cord.
DO NOT
leave an unused portion of an extension cord in a coil as it may
overheat, short out wires, and potentially destroy your extension cord.
