Plugging the shoreline power cord into an incorrectly wired power source
could damage the recreation vehicle electrical system and result in severe or
fatal injury.

The 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..

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
indicates ‘reverse polarity’ or an ‘open ground’ DO NOT connect the power cord.
1. Turn “off” the load center main 120-volt circuit breaker.
2. Carefully extend the entire length of the power cord (approximately 25’-35’) from the
electric cable hatch to the external power source.
3. Plug the power cord into the receptacle. Be sure all the power cord prongs are properly
plugged into the receptacle.
4. Return to your recreation vehicle and turn “on” the load center main circuit breaker.
5. To help prevent power surges from damaging the connected loads, please follow these
instructions when hooking up to the external power source:
The shore line power cord should be unplugged when the recreation vehicle is left
unattended. If something would happen to the electrical system, this may help limit
potential damage
.
When you are ready to leave, reverse the power cord connection process. Use care to prevent
damaging the power cord electrical connection pins when connecting or disconnecting the
shore line power cord. Grasp the plug to remove the power cord from the outlet; do not
unplug it by pulling on the cord.
Maintenance
Inspect the power cord for cuts, cracks and worn insulation. Have the power cord replaced
immediately if these symptoms are noticed.

When connecting appliances to the electrical system, remember that 120-volt power usage
is limited to 50 amps per electrical system leg for a total of 100 amps. Be mindful of the fact
that each operating appliance collectively places an added load on your 120-volt electrical
system.
An unintentional “trip” of a circuit breaker may occur if you overload the recreation vehicle
and/or campground electrical system. The amperage rating of individual appliances can be
