12-VOLT ELECTRIC POWER
This system offers the user maximum lighting effi ciency under all conditions. Most lights
operate on 12-volt current. (See Diagram 4)
All 12-volt lights, furnace fans, exhaust fans, and 12-volt refrigerators (if provided) are
protected by fuses located in the electrical compartment.
Your travel trailer is equipped with a load center. The load center has a built-in converter
that automatically converts 120-volt current to 12-volt current for use by those circuits
which require it and also recharges your battery. (See Figure 6) Have your dealer go
over your load center with you and instruct you concerning the battery charging features.
No switching is necessary. If an exterior source of power is connected, the converter
automatically switches to this source rather than the trailer battery. If the converter is not
connected to a 120-volt power source your 12-volt system will draw power from the bat-
tery.
Whenever city power (120V) is available it should be used to avoid discharging the
trailer battery (See Diagram 5). When the power cord between the travel trailer and the
tow vehicle is connected, the trailer and tow vehicle electrical systems operate as one.
The trailer battery is recharged by the tow vehicle’s alternator and when parked, the tow
vehicle battery can be discharged by prolonged power usage in the trailer. Consequently,
when parked and operating from the trailer batteries, the cord between the tow vehicle
and travel trailer should be disconnected to avoid running down your tow vehicle battery.
The trailer battery can be recharged by starting the tow vehicle and reconnecting the
power cord. When operating off batteries it is wise to use lights and power sparingly.
VENTILATION AND CONDENSATION
The following steps should be taken to aid in eliminating internal moisture condensation:
