12-Volt DC System   

Most  interior  lights  and  appliances  receive  12-Volt  DC  power  through 
converter output and/or the auxiliary battery.  Exterior lights and brakes 
also use 12-Volt DC power from the tow vehicle battery and/or auxiliary 
battery  through  the  seven  way  connecter  and  wire  attached  to  the  tow 
vehicle.  Following are explanations of various items. 
  

Converter 

The heart of your 12-Volt DC system is enclosed inside of the load center, 
including 12V fuse panel, 120V breaker panel and converter. 
  
Fuse panel has 6 or more 12-Volt DC fuse positions, depending on output 
size of your converter. These fuses are mostly 15  amp in size. 30 amp 
12-Volt breaker is for slide out if so installed. A 40 amp fuse is also in load 
center for protection should a battery be installed backwards. 
  
All  converters  have  solid  state  electronic  components  internally  to 
produce “clean” 12V DC power. 
  
This load center will have a brown plastic front. 
 
The function of a converter is to take 120-Volt AC power and transform 
this  energy  into  12-Volt  DC  clean  power.  Converter  then  performs  as 
follows through fuse panel: 

1.  Supplies power to the lights in coach. 
2.  Supplies power to all appliances as required for operation. 
3.  Provides charging voltage for optional battery if so installed. 

No manual switches are needed or required for this operation. 
  
Each converter has a “built-in” fan which operates through a load sensor 
control or temperature sensor.  As more current is drawn, fan will speed 
up,  run  faster,  or  slow  down,  based  on  amp  draw  and/or  temperature.  
Should the fan not run at all, the converter may overheat and will cut-out 
and/or stop. 
  

Auxiliary Battery  

All  coaches  are  pre-built  to  accept  an  Auxiliary  Battery,  which  is  not 
provided by manufacturer of your coach. 
  
Recommended batteries are of deep-cycle type as you need longer, slow 
consuming power rather than cold-cranking power.  A battery is always 
required for a break-away switch to function during towing, as per state 
laws. 
 
A battery requires routine maintenance for long life.  First, terminals need 
to  be  kept  clean  to  avoid  corrosion.    Second,  a  battery  used  daily  will 
consume water as long as the converter is in operation.  Be sure to check 
the  battery  no  less  than  every  30  days  and  keep  the  battery  filled  with
