Overseas connections
Connection to mains voltage overseas requires
particular attention. Electricity supplies abroad may be
of reverse polarity, meaning that when an appliance is
switched o it may not be electrically isolated.
It is useful to check the polarity of the supply so that
the connection can be made neutral to neutral and live
to live as recommended. Your Auto-Trail, however, is
fitted with a double pole circuit breaker.
Please check that all motorhome equipment is set to
accept the site supply prior to switching it on.
If too many appliances are in operation at one time,
the MCB may trip as a safety measure. On some sites,
the power is not sucient to power all appliances; if in
doubt, consult the site manager or warden.

Wiring of connecting cable and motorhome mains inlet
It is essential that connections are made exactly as shown. If the terminal markings are not in accordance with
the diagram, they must be ignored. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. When replacing 12v fuses, always
use a fuse of the correct value and never replace with a higher value as this could damage the wiring harness.
IMPORTANT
Please ensure the motorhome electrical installation
is inspected and tested at least once a year. A report
on the condition should be obtained as described in
the Regulations for Electrical Installations published
by the Institute of Electrical Engineers.
It is important that the main switch at the site point
should be switched o, the supply flexible cable
disconnected, and any cover replaced on the socket
outlet at the site supply point. It is dangerous to
leave the supply flexible cable connected.
If a fault should develop that is not described in the
fault table and your supplying dealer cannot resolve
the problem, please call the Sargent Electrical
Systems helpline on 01482 678 981 or visit
