Tiffin Motorhomes’ qualified staff of electricians can readily determine whether any changes sought (e.g., CB
radio, amateur radio, satellite television receiver, personal computer system,
and the like) are possible or not and can advise you on how best to realize
these enhancements.
Please note that the 12 VDC fuses and breakers are located in a separate
compartment adjoining the 120 VAC breakers. Fusing is provided for the
following 12 VDC circuits inside the vehicle: All interior and decorative and
overhead lighting, water heater, TV switching box, slide-out lights, power roof
vents, monitor panel, and passenger side console switch panel.
Another 12 VDC fuse panel (Figure 7-2) is located in the driver’s side,
external, front compartment; this panel is protected by a plexiglass shield
to prevent accidental short-circuiting of the 12 VDC power system. To
protect this 12 VDC system further,
DO NOT STORE anything in
this compartment (e.g., toolbox) which may jostle around, break through
the shield, and short out the 12 VDC system—if this system were short-
circuited, extensive damage and/or fire could result.
The following circuitry is protected by this fuse panel: mirror, fog lights,
jacks, camera, windshield wipers, docking lights, dashboard fans, spotlight,
power seats, radio, step cover, optional satellite antenna, 30-amp ignition
breaker and 50-amp ignition breaker, and all dashboard resettable circuit breakers.
Another panel of circuit breakers is located in the passenger side, external, rear compartment which contains
resettable breakers for the following systems: Slide-outs, 12 VDC disconnect system, storage box lights, and
solenoids.
Auxiliary Start Switch
The auxiliary start switch (Figure 7-3) is located on the driver’s-side console box (Figure 7-4). This switch
briefly connects the Phaeton coach batteries to the chassis
batteries—this allows the chassis batteries to “borrow” power
from the coach batteries to assist in starting the engine. If the
chassis batteries cannot themselves start the engine in the
“normal” mode, hold down the battery-boost switch and
retry starting the engine.
By using the battery-boost switch while trying to start the
Phaeton engine, a jump-start situation is realized between the
coach and chassis batteries. If the battery-boost switch is
required to start the engine on a regular basis, ask your Tiffin Motorhomes Dealership to
check the chassis batteries and the associated charging system.
