Below is a generic drawing with circuit breaker alignment. Your travel trailer may not be
exactly the same as shown depending on model, floor plan, and options.
1
= 30-amp main, incoming power to travel trailer.
2
= 20-amp circuit to air conditioning
3
= 15-amp microwave oven.
4&5 = 15-amp to general purpose circuits.
6
= Spare
Consumption of 120-Volt Power
As owners desire and purchase more appliances as we have in our home, we must
remember an RV has only 30-amps of incoming power available. Conserving and
choosing which appliance has priority in consumption needs to be part of planning.
In addition, loose items such as toasters, skillets, coffee pots, etc. are often included in
traveling cargo. Include these in your consumption planning.
12-Volt DC System
The 12-volt system is composed of numerous items such as converter, battery, fuses,
wire, and bulbs, both interior and exterior lighting. Explanation on these items will
follow in this section.
CAUTION:
Your RV has many 12-volt DC loads. When combined, they total
more power consumption than is available with the 12-volt DC converter. Periodic
overloads can be handled with the additional auxiliary battery for short periods of
time. It is suggested to conserve your 12-volt DC system at most times. Prolonged
overload may shorten the performance life of converter.
Converter
A converter utilizes 120-volt AC power and transforms this energy into 12-volt DC
power, which is used inside of your camper. 12-volt energy supplies power to all interior
lights and various appliances. The floor plan, and size of camper dictates the model and
output size of the converter required.
Inside of the converter is an electronic device which automatically switches between 120-
volt AC incoming power and battery power. An auxiliary battery as correctly installed
will be charged when the travel trailer is connected up to 120-volt AC power. The
converter will supply power through the fuse panel located near by, possibly in the same
compartment.
