SECTION 5
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - 50 AMP
Connecting the power cord
Always test the 50 amp 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 50 amp
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 motor home 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 motor home 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.
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 reconfigure
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.
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
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.
Plugging the shoreline power cord into an
incorrectly wired power source could
damage the motor home electrical system
and result in severe or fatal injury.
