ELECTRICAL
Do not use an adapter, cheater, or extension cord
that breaks the continuity of the ground circuit
to the ground pin. Never remove the ground
pin from a plug in order to connect it to a two-
pronged ungrounded outlet.
IMPORTANT
!
120 VOLT OUTLETS
Several 120 volt receptacles are
located throughout the interior of
the unit. These receptacles require
three-pin plugs that provide proper
grounding to protect you from
electrical shock. The breaker for
the outlets are usually located in
the breaker box. If the breakers are
on the inverted circuitry, they will
be located in the subpanel near the
main breaker box.
Electrical Typical Amp Draw List
This article provides a basic overview of the typical amp draw of electrical components and appliances in a coach.
Knowing and understanding the electrical terminology, as well as the average amperage (current draw) of all the electrical
appliances in your coach, can help you manage electrical use and prevent the inconvenience of tripping a breaker.
Amp Draw
Do you know how many Amps you are using at any single
moment? It is surprising how quickly the current draw
(Amps) of your appliances can add up for your coach’s
30 or 50 Amp system. Knowing and understanding the
electrical terminology, as well as the average amperage
(current draw) of all the electrical appliances in your
coach, can help you manage electrical use and prevent
the inconvenience of tripping a breaker.

Below is a list of the typical appliances used and the
approximate amps required to operate them.
•
V = volt; volt is the measurement of electrical pressure
•
A = amp; amp is the measurement of electrical current
(volume) used by an electrical device.
•
W = watt; watt is the measurement of how much
electrical work is being done.
Conversions
You can look at at your electrical appliances, find the label
that contains amperage or wattage ratings and calculate
exact usage by using the formulas below.
•
Watts/Volts = Amps
•
Amps x Volts = Watts
•
Watts/Amps = Volts
