The electrical system in your recreational
vehicle is designed using both 120 volt AC
(alternating current) and 12 volt DC (direct
current) capabilities. All installations and
designs are built to comply with safety
requirements of ANSI standard A119.2,
National Electric Code and Canadian
Standards Association.
All coaches manufactured by OPEN RANGE RV have 50 amp service
pre-wired into the breaker box.
A 50 amp service is a 240-volt hook-up. There is no appliance
or other component requiring 240 volts in this coach. For
more information, see the section later in this chapter.

Any changes, alternations, additions, and/or modifications need to
be performed by qualified electrical technicians, using only approved
components which meet safety and code requirements. This includes
owners, dealers, etc. who desire to make changes. The manufacturer
is not responsible for any changes, or alterations, made to the 120 AC
system of the coach.

Power Cord 50 AMP
A 50 amp rated, fully detachable power cord is
supplied with your coach. Open the hatch door
on the exterior of the coach. Pull the cord out and
attach one end to the coach outlet and the other end
to the 120-volt power source.
Energy will enter through the main breaker and
is distributed through circuit breakers to the wall
receptacles and appliances. This power cord will
be approximately 26 to 28 feet in length. Each cord
has the correct gauge of wire to carry the correct
voltage to coach.
