WARNING: Connecting the shore cord to a non-grounded or improperly
grounded power source can result in dangerous and possibly fatal electric
shock. Due to the potential danger in failing to heed this warning, the
motorhome manufacturer cannot be responsible should damage, injury, or
death result from failure to connect the power cord to a properly grounded
power source.
WARNING: If shore power service is limited to 15 or 10 amps, use of light duty
extension cords and electrical adapters will create a voltage loss through the
cord and at each electrical connection. Line voltage loss and the
resistance at each electrical connection can be a hazardous combination.
Damage to sensitive electronic equipment may result.
The 110 volt system is protected by circuit breakers which automatically shut the circuit off if
the circuit load is too heavy, or a short circuit occurs. If a circuit breaker has been tripped, do
not reset the breaker until the cause of the problem is identified and corrected.
The generator also has one or two circuit breakers, and a DC fuse on the generator control
panel. If an interruption in generator operations occurs, check to see if any of these have
been tripped. Consult the manuals provided with the generator before attempting
maintenance on the generator.
NOTE: Some electrical appliances may have their own circuit breakers. If there is an
interruption in electrical service of an appliance, consult the manual for that appliance
to determine what action to take.
The 110 volt outlet in the bath is equipped with a protective circuit interrupter. The ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is designed to break the flow of current to the protected outlet
when an imbalance of current is detected. Imbalances include electrical leakage in an
appliance such as a shaver or hair dryer that have developed a weak spot in electrical
insulation. The possibility of electrocution exists when using a faulty appliance, while at the
same time being in contact with an electrical ground such as water, plumbing, or the earth.
If an imbalance is detected, the GFCI will trip and shut off power to the outlet. Even with
GFCI protection, the electrical shock will still be felt, but to a lesser degree. It also does not
protect against short circuits or system overloads. Circuit breakers in the main panel which
supply power to the circuit, will trip if either of these conditions exist.
The GFCI receptacle should be tested initially when the motorhome is purchased and at least
monthly thereafter.
