To prevent this from occurring, disconnect the
7-way trailer plug or install a battery isolator.
When the tow vehicle engine is operating with
the RV connected, the tow vehicle charging
system will charge both batteries.
Replacement and maintenance
Some equipment in your RV will draw small
amounts of current even when turned OFF.
To prevent the auxiliary battery from being
discharged when your RV is not connected to
shore line power, disconnect the auxiliary
battery negative cable at the battery. During
storage, it is important to check the voltage
monthly and recharge the auxiliary battery as
needed. If you remove the auxiliary battery
from your RV, store it in a dry, cool area per
the manufacturer’s instructions.
When it is time to replace the auxiliary battery,
replace it with a Group 27 deep cycle battery
only. Contact the battery manufacturer for
further information. Do not reverse the
positive and negative battery cables (doing so
will blow the reverse polarity fuse(s) that
protect the converter).

You may want to consider the installation of a
battery isolator on your tow vehicle as a
convenience feature:
□
It receives current from the tow vehicle
alternator and controls distribution of
energy to both the RV auxiliary battery
and the tow vehicle battery.
□
It serves as a check valve to prevent
energy from being drawn from your tow
vehicle chassis battery (so you can start
your tow vehicle engine).
Your dealer can assist you with the selection,
purchase and installation of this aftermarket
part.

The 12-volt fuse panel is labeled to indicate
fuse sizes, positions and the components
powered. At the beginning of camping
season, inspect all the 12-volt fuses and
replace as needed.
Replacing a fuse
Replacement fuses must be of the same
voltage, amperage rating and type. Never
use a higher rated replacement fuse; doing
so may cause a fire by overheating the RV
wiring.
Before replacing a fuse, always turn “off” the
electrical component(s) protected by it.
1. Disconnect the shore power cord.
2. Disconnect the RV auxiliary battery main
negative battery cable.
3. Remove the fuse panel cover to check
fuses.
4. Pull the fuse straight out of the fuse block.
If the fuse is not blown, something else
must be causing the problem. Please
contact your dealer for further assistance.
5. Insert a new fuse of the same specified
voltage, amperage rating and type in the
original location.
Never use a higher
rated replacement fuse.
The fuse panel label should be kept
permanently affixed to your RV. The fuses will
not offer complete protection of the RV
electrical system in the event of a power
surge or spike.

There may be a 12-volt DC outlet (not
applicable on all models) in your RV. When
the 12-volt DC outlet is used as a power
source for an electric appliance, make sure
that the appliance operates on 12-volt DC
power and that it consumes less than 60
watts (5 amps) of 12-volt power. To prevent
short circuits do not allow metallic foreign
matter to get into the 12-volt DC outlet.
