SECTION 3
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM – 50 amp
appliances to maintain your power usage at
50 amps or lower. It is very important to verify
any electrical outlet (or receptacle) you intend
to connect the power cord to is rated properly
before that outlet is used.
For example, if you are planning to connect
the power cord to an electrical outlet in your
garage or house, to prevent damage to your
RV or property call an electrician to verify that
outlet is properly rated.

ANEL
The circuit breaker
panel protects the
120-volt electrical
system from
overloads, shorts in
the wiring and shorts
in the connected
components. When
an overload or short
occurs, the circuit
breaker will open (or
“trip”) preventing any
further flow of
electricity and
damage to the RV.
If a circuit breaker has been tripped, shut
OFF the connected appliance (i.e., air
conditioner, microwave, etc.) and allow a brief
cooling period. Then reset the circuit breaker
by moving the appropriate switch OFF and
back ON.
PLUG INTO 50-AMP SERVICE ONLY.
Do not hook up the 50-amp 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 reduce 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
50-amp 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.
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.
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.
Fig. 3.1 Typical circuit
breaker panel
The 50-amp power cord must be fully
extended when in use and not left coiled in
the electrical compartment or on the
ground. If the power cord is left coiled, it
may potentially create enough heat to melt
its protective casing.
