Power to Breakaway Switch and Generator Start
The emergency breakaway switch that activates the trailer brakes in the event the trailer were ever to
break free of the tow vehicle must have power regardless of the state of the Battery Cutoff Switches.
The same is true for the Generator Start. The main line 12V line between the battery and the main
Battery Cutoff Switch has a small buss bar where the breakaway switch and generator start wires are
attached.
Residential Refrigerator Inverter
When towing, or when there is no shore power available, the residential refrigerator receives power
from the coach batteries. The 12V DC battery output is sent to a dedicated inverter that converts the
power to 120V AC. The inverter output goes to a transfer switch (the transfer switch may be either a
separate unit, or it may be built into the inverter) that supplies power to the refrigerator. The inverter
and transfer switch are dedicated to the refrigerator and do not provide power to anything else in the
coach.
The inverter has a switch on one end, along with two 120V AC outlets. There is also a remote switch
inside the coach that allows more convenient operation of the inverter.
If the inverter is ever turned off, or if the battery voltage falls below a critical level, or the battery cutoff
switch for the inverter DC Power is turned off, the inverter must be manually restarted in order to run
the refrigerator. When you bring the coach out of storage and plug it into shore power while loading up,
the refrigerator will run on shore power. If you neglect to turn on the inverter before starting your trip,
