LIVING AREA ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The motorhome living area electrical system is designed for 
convenience.  It is capable of supplying the vehicle with at 
least two sources of power: 12 volt DC power and 110-120 volt 
AC power. The 12 volt coach batteries supplies power to the 
interior components (except the roof air conditioner and fridge 
while set on AC ) for short-term use. The 12 volt or DC power 
supplies an AC 110-120 volt current to the interior plug outlets, 
the entertainment centers and the microwave through the 
2000 watt Pure-sine wave inverter. 

The coach battery bank is charged when the chassis engine 
is running and the charge line disconnect switch is in the ON 
position or when you are connected to a 110-120 volt power 
source (shore power or generator) with the 12 volt battery 
disconnect switch in the ON position. Your vehicle may also 
be equipped with solar panels. These solar panels will charge 
the coach batteries if the charge line disconnect is in the ON 
position.

For long term use, your vehicle may be powered by plugging 
into a 110-120 volt external power source with the supplied 
25 foot power cable. The 25 foot power cable supplied with 
your coach must be connected and locked to your coach 
and then to a 110-120 volt power source (a 30 amp outlet is 
recommended). This will supply 110-120 volt power throughout 
the interior and supply power through the inverter/charger to 
all 12 volt components.  Do not run the air conditioner unless 
you are plugged into a minimum 20 amp power source. 

Your motorhome is equipped with a Pure-sine wave 2000 watt 
Xantrex Freedom XC Inverter/Charger. The charging portion 
of the Freedom XC is set to LFP to charge the coach batteries. 
The freedom XC also converts 110 volt into 12 volt to operate 
12 volt appliances when plugged into 110-120  volt power or 
while running the generator.

The Pure-sine wave inverter/charger takes the 12 volt or DC 
power from your batteries and inverts it up to 110-120 volt 
AC power. The inverter will enable you to use your 110-120 
volt plug outlets, entertainment center and microwave oven 
when a shore power source or generator source is unavailable. 
This power source will be limited by the state of charge of 
your batteries and by the amount of current drawn by each 
appliance. The inverter has a built in transfer switch that allows 
the 110-120 volt power to bypass the inverter and power the 
110-120 volt plug outlets, entertainment center and microwave 
directly, when the motorhome is plugged into a shore power 
source or running on the generator.

NOTE: 

All dash components including the in-dash radio and 

front map lights are powered through the starting (chassis) 
battery. Prolonged use of these items when the vehicle is 
not running will deplete the engine starting battery.
