SHORE POWER HOOK-UP
The power requirement for the motorhome
is 50 Amp 240 Volt AC single phase. The
motorhome can operate from 30 Amp 120 Volt
AC with limited capacity. If 50 Amp shore
power service is available, connect the supplied
shore power cord. If less than 50 Amp service
is available, electrical adapters will be required
and power consumption must be reduced to
avoid tripping the shore power breaker.
CAUTION:
Avoid flash damage to the electrical
system contacts. Before plugging the
motorhome into shore power, starting
the generator or using the inverter turn
all the appliances off.
WARNING:
Keep fingers away from metal contacts
of the shore plug end. DO NOT stand in
water when making electrical connections.
Serious electrical shock and personal
injury can occur. To avoid the risk of
electrical shock, turn the circuit breaker
off at the power supply outlet before
making the shore power connection.
CAUTION:
DO NOT remove cover from shore
power supply to troubleshoot electricity
to the motorhome. Serious personal
injury or death may occur. If there is
no power to the motorhome inform the
park manager. It is the park manager’s
responsibility to fix problems with the
shore power pedestal.
Plugging in Shore Cord:
The shore power cord is located in
a hatch at the rear roadside of the
motorhome.
Extend a sufcient amount of cord
to reach the power supply. If 50 Amp
service is not available, install the proper
electrical adapter(s) to the cord.
Always turn OFF the shore power
breaker at the power supply before
connecting or disconnecting the shore
cord to avoid an accidental shock or
ashing of electrical contacts.
After the connection is made, turn the
shore power breaker on.
Plug shore cord straight into the
receptacle (see illustration).
When Hooked to 50 Amps:
After verifying proper voltage, wait
approximately one minute for the inverter/
charger to stabilize charging of the batteries
before starting air conditioners or other large
AC loads.
When Hooked to 30 Amps:
If 50 Amp service is not available, wait
approximately one hour before operating
electric appliances. Use caution when
operating appliances to avoid overloading
the supplied shore service breaker. Operate
appliances and outlets in sequence rather than
all at the same time.
Disconnecting Shore Cord:
Turn off all AC appliances.
Turn off the shore power breaker.
This will prevent accidental shock and
ashing of electrical contacts when
disconnecting.
Grasp housing of electrical plug. Without
touching electrical contacts, work plug
out and away from socket.
