TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO® Chapter 7 ELECTRICAL FEATURES
Inverter/Converter
As a standard feature on the Allegro, a inverter/converter (Figure 7-8) is
provided to convert 110 VAC to provide the necessary 12 VDC power for
those appliances plugged into that 12 VDC power system. In this manner,
most DC-powered appliances can be used inside or outside the Allegro when
connected to an external 120 VAC power hookup; this prevents undue drain
on the on-board 12 VDC battery system. The inverter/converter is
conveniently situated in one of the external storage lockers underneath the
Allegro. One should not store anything else in this locker to preclude any
accidental electrical short circuits. The inverter provides 110V power to
televisions and the Blu-Ray/DVD player while not connected to shower
power.
Electrical Generator
The electrical generator (either a 5.5 KW or 7.0 KW; depending on
the particular Allegro model chosen) is conveniently located in one of
the side compartments in the Allegro motor home. Prior to starting or
stopping the generator (Figure 7-9), make sure that all the 120 VAC
appliances are turned “off.”
NOTE: The 5.5 KW generator is capable of operating two air
conditioners at the same time, but does not have any additional
capacity to operate any other appliances in conjunction with both air
conditioners running.
After the generator has been started, wait until the transfer switch has connected before turning “on” any
of the appliances.
The generator can be started from either the remote-start switch located on the dash or directly at the generator itself.
The hour meter installed on the generator records the number of hours of operation of the generator motor—this
elapsed time is needed for observing necessary maintenance schedules on the generator.

CAUTION
Failure to turn “off” the 120 VAC appliances when starting or stopping the
generator may damage the transfer switch and/or electrical appliances.
