Your motor home is equipped with a diesel-powered generator which will
provide complete electrical
self-containnient when regular public utility
AC
power is unavailable. Controls are on the instrument pallel and on the
generator.
With the generator operating, power is available at all
of
the 120-volt power
outlets in the motor home, just as
if
the cord were connected to an external
source.
The
generator is also connected to the power converter, thus supplying
12-volt power as well. The generator circuit

engine. This arrangement prevents the.generatorfrom running the-motor home
