ELECTRICAL
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.
Newmar coaches are framed 16 inches on center, allowing the best placement of outlets, switches and other components.
RECEPTACLES AND ACCESSORY
CHARGERS
This article provides information about the 120 Volt outlets located throughout the interior of the coach.
120 Volt Outlets
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.

This article provides an overview of the purpose and function of a GFCI outlet.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt Outlets (GFCI)
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt
(GFCI) outlets protect the user from
ground faults between a hot wire and
ground. The 120 Volt electrical outlets
in the kitchen and bath area are GFCI
protected receptacles. The electrical
outlets located in the slideouts are wired
through the kitchen GFCI.
The exterior electrical outlets are wired
through the bathroom GFCI. On units
equipped with the floor heat option, a separate GFCI is
installed in the bathroom or near the main breaker box.
Units with the holding tank heat pad option will have an
additional GFCI located in the basement area; however,
the exact location varies.
The GFCI outlets should be tested at least once a month.
The 120 Volt electrical system must be energized in order
to test the GFCI. The reset button needs to be pressed
before starting the test. Then push the test button, which
will cause the reset button to pop out, confirming the
protected circuits have been disconnected. Push the
reset button again until a click is heard to reactivate the
protected circuit. If the GFCI is working properly, the reset
button will remain in the “IN” position. If an item plugged
into a Slideout or outside receptacle is not working, check
for a tripped GFCI in the kitchen or bathroom. Likewise, if
the floor heat or holding tank heat pads are not working,
check the GFCI for that circuit.
The GFCI will not reduce the shock hazard if the short is
between a neutral and hot wire or two hot load wires.

Auxiliary Inputs
USB ports labeled with
auxiliary input are normally
connected to the dash
radio and allow input to
the radio via USB and or
3.5 mm cable. Refer to
the owner’s guide for the
radio for information about
selecting auxiliary inputs.
USB Outlets
USB outlets may be located in
various places throughout the
coach. The number of ports
may vary. The USB outlets are
for charging only and are not
connected to any entertainment
equipment. They simply provide
convenient accessory charging
without filling your 120 volt outlets with chargers. Most
USB outlets require 120 volt power when located outside
of the cockpit area of the coach.
This article provides a functional overview of the USB outlet, auxiliary input, and 12 volt receptacles in a coach.
