CONVERTER AND G.F.C.I. BREAKERS
A converter uses 120-volt power and transforms this energy into 12-volt DC
power. Your TrailManor has a 30-amp converter. This converter automatically
switches from 120-volt source to battery when the power cord to the external
source is disconnected. It automatically charges your trailer battery while
connected to 120-volt power.
WARNING:
Do not replace circuit breakers or fuses with those of a
higher current rating than those supplied with the new trailer. Over-
fusing can cause a fire hazard by overheating electrical wires above
temperature ratings.
All trailer receptacles are protected by a G.F.C.I. (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) to reduce the risk of injury caused by an electrical shock. An example
of ground fault current is the current which would flow through a person who is
using or touching an appliance with faulty insulation and, at the same time, is in
contact with an electrical ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth.
The G.F.C.I. should be tested periodically to ensure that it continues to provide
protection from ground fault conditions.
12 VOLT DC SYSTEM
EXTERIOR
All exterior vehicle lights are 12 volt and wired in accordance with the standard
accepted color code:
White---Ground
Green---Running lights
Red-----Left turn, stop
Brown---Right turn, stop
Yellow--Back-up lights
The connector between tow vehicle and trailer may build up corrosion over a
period of time caused by weather elements, and should be cleaned occasionally
to ensure good electrical contact.
CAUTION:
Be sure to turn off all interior lights before folding the
camper for transit as the bulbs may cause a fire hazard in the folded
position.
