ATTERIES
Each chassis is built with batteries to provide
energy to start the engine and operate
devices supplied with the chassis. The
chassis battery is furnished and warranted by
the chassis manufacturer (as applicable).

OLENOID
When house batteries are installed in parallel
circuitry with the chassis battery, the charge
level in both connected batteries will naturally
equalize. An isolator solenoid is incorporated
to break the connection between the house
batteries and the chassis battery when the
ignition key is in the “off” position.
Breaking this connection prevents discharge
of the chassis battery (used to start the
engine) when using 12-volt devices in the
house section of your motor home. When the
engine is running the isolator solenoid
engages allowing the house batteries to be
charged by the vehicle alternator.

The 12-volt fuse panel is labeled to indicate
fuse sizes, positions and the components
powered. At the beginning of camping
season, inspect all the 12-volt fuses and
replace as needed.
Replacing a fuse
Before replacing a fuse, always turn “off” the
electrical component(s) protected by it.
1. Disconnect the shore power cord.
2. Turn “off” the inverter (if so equipped).
3. Disconnect the house batteries main
negative battery cable.
4. Remove the fuse panel cover to check
fuses.
5. Pull the fuse straight out of the fuse block.
If the fuse is not blown, something else
must be causing the problem. Please
contact your dealer for further assistance.
6. Insert a new fuse of the same specified
voltage, amperage rating and type in the
original location.
Never use a higher
rated replacement fuse.
The fuse panel label should be kept
permanently affixed to your motor home. The
fuses will not offer complete protection of the
motor home electrical system in the event of a
power surge or spike.

ENERATOR
The factory-installed generator will produce
120-volt AC power for use when camping in
areas where shore power is unavailable. 120-
volt power from the generator is output to the
AC distribution center by way of a factory-
installed automatic transfer switch. In the
default mode, the automatic transfer switch
connects the generator to the AC distribution
center when the generator is operating and
shore power is disconnected.
Always leave the ignition key in the "off"
position unless the engine is running.
When the generator is operating it will power
the converter, which in turn will charge the
house and chassis batteries. The generator
requires 12-volt power from the house
batteries to start, and draws fuel from the
chassis fuel tank. If the fuel tank drops to or
below 1/4 full, the genset will automatically
shut off to keep the motor home from being
stranded. Be aware the generator, when
operating, gives off carbon monoxide.
Replacement fuses must be of the same
voltage, amperage rating and type. Never
use a higher rated replacement fuse; doing
so may cause a fire by overheating the RV
wiring.
