Section 6: Electrical System
Exercising Your Generator
– It is important to run your generator regularly, to keep every-
thing in good working order and to avoid fuel varnishing, which can affect performance, if
the generator is stored for an extended time.
Lack of exercise can cause moisture build-up and fuel system degradation that make it run
poorly. In as little as 30 days, the fuel in gasoline-powered generators can begin to gum and
varnish the fuel system. Fuel varnishing results in hard starting and surging (a surging gen-
erator never settles at a stable operating speed).
To prevent such problems, it is recommended to run gasoline generators at a minimum of 50
percent capacity (2000-watts, or one air conditioner for a 4000-watt set) for two hours once
every four weeks. This is necessary to help keep moving parts lubricated, expel moisture and
control fuel varnishing in the carburetor. A two-hour exercise period is preferable to several
short periods. While traveling, this can be accomplished by running the air conditioning.
For more information on generator safety, operation and maintenance, refer to the generator
owner’s manual.
Replacing Light Bulbs
Before replacing a bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb
with your bare fingers. The skin oil left on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot,
the vapor will condense on the reflector and it will dim the surface.
Replacement light bulbs must be of the type, voltage and wattage listed on the lamp fixture.
Use of incorrectly sized bulbs can overload lamp circuits and may create a fire hazard by
overheating the fixture.
LED Decorative Light Strips (if so equipped)
Some models may include decorative LED light strips which may be installed on the awning
or on the front cap. When the awning light switch is turned on, these LED light strips il-
luminate.
Instead of the awning light switch, the front cap LED strip lights may be controlled by a
separate switch located next to the fifth wheel hitch or some models may have the switch
located in a front exterior compartment on the door side.
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 customer pur-
chased and installed option. The solar plug location will vary by
model, but may be located on the exterior sidewall, on the A-frame
of the RV, in the outside utility center, or mounted up on the roof.
There are capped off wires located in the area of the battery. These
wires are the battery charging wires. Once these wires are properly
connected to your battery, you will then be able to plug the solar
panel into the charging port.
When the system is connected properly, the solar panel will supply
power to the battery, the battery will supply power to the converter,
and the converter will supply power to all the 12V systems as needed.
