roadside rear twin bed. The box lid is accessible through an access door in
the bed top.
Power from the battery goes to a pass through 12 V power stud mounted on
the battery box.
CaUTiOn: When installing a battery always observe polarity.
Battery Storage
When storing your Interstate and leaving the house batteries in place it is rec-
ommended that the vehicle be plugged into a 110 volt 30 amp shoreline con-
nection for 24 to 48 hours every 30 days. This procedure will properly maintain
the battery charge and extend it’s life. DO NOT leave the vehicle continually
plugged in and unattended while in storage.
Battery Disconnect Switch
The manual disconnect switch located inside the rear lounge door on the rear
lounge model and on the front of the roadside twin bed on the twin bed model
is used to turn off power from the battery to the 12-volt distribution panel.
Turning off the disconnect switch will cut power to 12 volt systems fed from the
12-volt distribution panel, but will allow the batteries to charge from the engine
or inverter/charger.
The holding tank heat pads, the rear lounge motor, solar panel (option), and
generator (option) are not connected to the 12-volt distribution panel and are
wired direct through the thermal breakers mentioned earlier. The battery dis-
connect will not disable these systems.
The inverter/charger, the lounge motor, the tank heating pads, the generator
starter, the, and the lounge motor power are not supplied through the distribu-
tion panel.
