2013 HOLIDAY RAMBLER
To prevent accidental
shock and flashing
of electrical contacts,
always turn off
the shore power
breaker at power
supply outlet before
connecting or
disconnecting the
shore cord.
Make the connection to the outlet on
the recreational vehicle. Screw on lock
ring to support the connection.
Plug in shore power cord to the shore
power outlet then turn the breaker on.
The LED on the outlet on the
recreational vehicle will illuminate to
indicate AC power is available.
WARNING:
Keep fingers away from metal contacts
of the shore plug end. Avoid standing
in water when making electrical
connections. Serious electrical shock
and personal injury can occur. To
avoid the risk of an electrical shock,
turn the circuit breaker off for the
power supply outlet before making the
shore power connection.
Power Supply
Different amperage outlets vary greatly in
the amount of available current.
The continuous amount of current
through a breaker or fuse is only 80%
of its rated capacity.
30 amp shore power service is limited
to 24 continuous amps. 20 amp shore
service is limited to 16 continuous
amps.
50 Amp 240 Volt AC shore power
service consists of two power supply
conductors (120 volts AC each), a
neutral and a safety ground. The 50
amp breaker limits each power supply
conductor to no more than a short-
term maximum of 50 amps for each
conductor. The 50 Amp 240 Volt
service actually provides 80 continuous
amps.
Shore power service less than 50
amps consists of one power supply
conductor, a neutral and a safety
ground.
CAUTION:
Avoid the risk of electrical shock or
component damage by disconnecting
from shore power during electrical
storm activity.
Electrical Adapters
There are many different electrical adapters
available to suit a variety of needs. Only UL
approved adapters should be used.
The most common adapter is a 50-30 amp
adapter. This type of connector adapts the
50 amp shore cord to a 30 amp shore power
outlet. Always install the adapter to the cord
prior to making the connection to the outlet.
Another common adapter is a 30-20 amp
adapter. This type of connector adapts the
30 amp shore cord to a 20 amp shore power
outlet.
CAUTION:
If shore power service is limited to 15
or 20 amps, use of light duty extension
cords and electrical adapters creates
voltage loss through the cord and at
each electrical connection. Line voltage
loss and resistance at each electrical
connection can be a hazardous
combination. Damage to sensitive
electronic equipment may result!
