CLASS C MOTORHOME
10 ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Your motorhome is equipped with two electrical
systems operating on separate voltages - a 12
Volt DC System and a 120 Volt AC System.
The 12 Volt DC System draws its power either
from the engine's charging system while driving
or from the coach batteries when parked. An
isolator separates the two battery systems to
prevent the engine batteries from being drawn
down when parked and the coach system is in
use.
The 12 volt system operates only through the 12
volt batteries. The batteries are being charged
when the unit is plugged in and the charge circuit
is switched on.
The 120 Volt AC System operates either from the
optional 120 Volt generator installed in your
motorhome or from the outside shoreline connec-
tion.
10.1.1 EXTERNAL POWER CORD
(SHORELINE)
The external utility power cord (also called the
“shoreline”) is stored in the compartment on the left
(driver's) side of the motorhome.
10.1 120 VOLT AC SYSTEM
When connected to an outside electrical utility
such as that provided by most campgrounds or
when running your 120 volt generator, the
charger charges coach battery which provides
12v power. All equipment that normally is pow-
ered through the battery system is then powered
through the converter preventing drain on the
batteries.
Some equipment, however, depends entirely on
120 volts from an outside connection or from the
optional 120 volt generator. These include:
1. Roof Air Conditioner
2. Refrigerator (when set to 120 volt)
3. Microwave Oven
4. All 120 Volt Electrical Outlets
Do not connect the external power cord until you
have checked with the owner/attendant of the
campground as to proper polarity and grounding.
Improper grounding or reverse polarity can cause
component failure, injury or death.
To connect your motorhome to an external power
source, pull the cord through the cord hatch and
plug it into the proper receptacle. Your motorhome
is equipped with a 30-amp shoreline service.
