Connecting the Power Cord
To connect to an external power source,
remove the power cord from the utility
compartment and plug it into a suitable power
receptacle.
A passage through the compartment door or
the bottom of the compartment lets you route the
power cord out of the compartment so you can
close the compartment door while the power cord
is connected.
After disconnecting the power cord, neatly
stow it in the utility compartment.
NOTE: Always keep service access passage
closed while utility connection is not in
use.
Park Fuses or Breakers
Most campgrounds are equipped with a fuse
or circuit breaker at the receptacle. This protects
the park’s wiring, as well as the power cord on
your vehicle, from electrical damage. If electrical
power fails, contact the park attendants and have
them check the fuse or breaker for your supply
receptacle.
POWER CENTER
(Converter)
The power converter is generally located in a
lower cabinet face in the galley or living area,
depending on the floorplan of your model.
The converter power panel contains the house
electrical system 120-volt circuit breakers and
12-volt fuses.
The power converter changes 120-volt AC
current from the auxiliary generator or the
shoreline into 12-volt DC current for use by 12-
volt equipment in the motor home.
Certain circuits, however, remain unchanged
for use by items which require 120-volt current,
such as the air conditioner(s), the refrigerator in
AC mode, the microwave oven, etc.
NOTE: The converter will not change 12-volt
DC current to 120-volt AC.
Current drawn from the house batteries passes
through the power converter unchanged,
although it is routed through a series of protective
fuses located on the power panel.
WARNING
Do not plug the power cord into an outlet
which is not grounded, or alter the plug to
connect to a receptacle for which it is not
designed.
Be sure that all three prongs of the supply
cord are properly plugged into the
receptacle.
Do not connect the power cord to an
extension cord.
