Section 6: Electrical System
The shore power cord is designed to continuously carry the 50 AMP current flow required to
power each leg of the electrical system. It also creates a critical ground connection between
the vehicle electrical system and the campground shore power receptacle.
Always test the external power source (i.e., the campsite power receptacle or electrical box)
with a ground monitor before connecting your power cord to it. If the ground monitor indi-
cates ‘reverse polarity’ or an ‘open ground’.
DO NOT connect the power cord.
Regularly inspect the shore power cord for cuts, cracks, worn insulation and other damage.
Have the power cord replaced immediately if problems exist.
Calculating 50 AMP Electrical Load (if so equipped)
When connecting appliances to the electrical system, 120-volt power usage is limited to 50
AMPs per electrical system leg for a total of 100 amps. Operating appliances collectively
places an added load on your 120-volt electrical system.
A circuit breaker “trip” may occur if you overload the recreation vehicle and/or campground
electrical system. The amperage rating of individual appliances can be calculated by di-
viding appliance wattage consumed (normally listed on the appliance) by nominal design
voltage (120 for a 120-volt appliance). For example: 1200 watts divided by 120-volts equals
10 amps.
Solar Package (if so equipped)
Your recreational vehicle may be equipped with a factory installed solar panel kit that in-
cludes lithium batteries, a DC/DC power converter (allows charging from the tow vehicle
connection.), Solar Panels, and an energy management control system. For care and opera-
tion, please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions provided with your RV
If expanding upon OEM installed solar package, ensure all components are
compatible with existing product. Any additional equipment will reduce Car-
go Carrying Capacity (CCC) when installed.
Never connect your tow vehicle harness to a recreation vehicle equipped with
a lithium battery without a DC/DC power converter installed. Direct tow ve-
hicle charging may cause permanent damage to the lithium battery unless the
vehicle charge line is properly voltage regulated or disconnected.
Solar Prep (if so equipped)
Your recreation vehicle may be wired with a (exterior) plug in that will allow the batteries to
be trickle charged using a free standing solar panel. In most models, the solar panel kit is a
Adding solar panels or equipment will affect the carrying capacity of your
recreation vehicle. Vehicle weight ratings should be considered before adding
these components.
