ELEcTRIcAL INTRODucTION
This section contains guidelines,
procedures and information that will assist in
understanding the house electrical system and
the operation of various components. Refer
to the OEM manuals included in the Owner’s
Information File for their respective, in-depth
component operating instructions.
WARNING:
The electrical system is engineered
and tested for complete safety.
Circuit breakers and fuses protect
electrical circuits from overloading.
If modifications or additions to the
electrical system are planned, it is
recommended to consult an authorized
RV technician for assistance to ensure
continued integrity and safety of the
electrical system. Any modifications
may void the warranty.
WARNING:
Disconnect the 120 Volt AC electrical
shore cord and negative terminal from
the 12 Volt DC battery before working
on the electrical system. Remove rings,
watch bands or other metal jewelry
before working on electrical circuits
or around batteries. Use caution when
using metal tools. If a tool contacts a
battery terminal, or metal connected
to the battery terminal, a short circuit
could occur and cause personal injury,
explosion, or fire.
CAUTION:
After hooking up to shore power,
verify that polarity and ground
protection is present in the
recreational vehicle by use of a
polarity tester.
WARNING:
Water is electrically conductive. Do
not use any electrically powered item
or outlet that may be exposed to a
water source. Such use can result in a
serious shock causing injury or death.
Shore Power
The recreational vehicle is equipped with
a shore power cord. The shore power cord
connects the recreational vehicle to outside
electrical services. Shore power service is the
most efficient source of electrical power.
The shore power cord
is rated at 30 Amp 120
Volt AC. Many facilities
are equipped with 50
Amp 240 Volt AC power.
Electrical adapters will be
required to allow a proper
and safe connection to the
electrical service supply
if connecting to anything
other than 30 amp 120
Volt AC.
AC System - 120 Volt AC
The recreational vehicle is designed with a
30 Amp 120 Volt AC electrical system. The
system includes a UL listed power cord, a UL
listed circuit breaker panel and a UL listed
power converter. If 30 amp 120 Volt AC
service is available, all that is necessary is to
connect the recreational vehicle to the shore
power source using the supplied shore power
cord. The other end of the shore power cord
plugs into an outlet on the recreational vehicle.
NOTE:
If other than 30 amp service is
available, electrical adapters are
required and power consumption must
be reduced if connected to less than 30
amp service.
DC Systems - 12 Volt
A majority of lighting and appliances are
designed to operate from 12 Volt DC (direct
current) power, which is why the battery
plays an important role in the function of the
recreational vehicle. Keep the 12 Volt DC
system in working order. These systems, with
incorporated electronics, are voltage sensitive.
Some items can be damaged if voltage is not
maintained within the designed specifications.
ShORE pOWER hOOk-up
The power
requirement for the
recreational vehicle is
30 Amp 120 Volt AC
single phase. However,
the recreational can be operated from 20 Amp
120 Volt AC, but with limited capacity.
CAUTION:
Avoid flash damage to electrical
system contacts. Before hooking up
to shore power, make sure all the
appliances are off.
Plugging in the Shore Cord
Locate the shore power cord.
If connecting to other than 30 amp
service, install the proper electrical
adapters to the shore cord.
