110-VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
City Power
When your trailer is hooked up to 110 volt AC, the converter system auto-
matically charges the trailer batteries with the battery disconnect switch in the
“use” (on) position and, if the 7-way cord is hooked up, your tow vehicle battery
as well. The speed and degree of charge depends on how much power is used
for lights and appliances, as only the surplus goes to charging the battery. If
you are making an extended stay, then you should keep your trailer hooked up
to a 110 volt current if it is available.
While you are connected to the 110-volt receptacle the wiring is protected by
circuit breakers in the breaker panel. The circuit breaker panel for the 110-volt
system is located in the converter. Open the brown decorative converter door
under the dinette. In the event of a failure of a 110-volt circuit, first check
your trailer circuit breakers and the breaker for the outlet your trailer
shoreline cord is plugged into. If a breaker continues to trip after you have
reset it several times, your circuit may be overloaded with appliances or there
may be a short in the circuit. Try lessening the load on the circuit. Perhaps an
electric griddle, hair dryer, or an electric heater can be turned off. If that does
not solve the problem consult an Airstream Service Center.
