converter/charging circuit.
BATTERY STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
When you store your RV for a week or more be
sure to disconnect battery(s). Electronic tuning
radios, the propane detector, and the CO
detector all draw a small amount of current
when the battery is connected. Even
disconnected batteries will naturally “self-
discharge” about 1 % of capacity per day. If you
intend to store your RV for any length of time,
remove the battery(s). Store it in a cool, dry
place and recharge every month. Batteries will
discharge on their own. Recharging will also
help prevent problems with battery sulfating
which leads to premature battery failure.
WATER PUMP CONTROL SWITCH
This rocker switch controls the demand water
pump. The water pump is pressure sensitive and
starts (with the switch ON) when a faucet is
open, causing pressure in the line to drop. When
the faucet is closed, pressure builds in the line
and the pump stops.

TRAILER FUSE PANEL 12-volt Interior
Circuits A 12-volt interior fuse panel is installed
in the Power Distribution Center to protect the
interior circuits. Circuit titles and fuse sizes are
marked inside the removable access door. If a
fuse blows, locate and correct the cause. Turn
off all lights and motors, and then install a fuse
with the same rating. If fuses continue to blow,
a short circuit is indicated. Have the system
checked by qualified personnel.
FUSES
All the electrical circuits in your RV have fuses
to protect them from short or overload. If
something electrical in your trailer stops
working, the first thing you should check for is
a blown fuse. Determine from the chart, or the
diagram on the fuse panel, which fuse or fuses
control that component. Check those fuses first,
but check all fuses before deciding that a blown
fuse is not the cause. Replace any fuses and
check the component’s operation. Do not install
fuses with amperage ratings greater than that
specified on the label. Replacing a fuse with one
that has a higher rating greatly increases the
chances of damaging the electrical system. If
you do not have a replacement fuse with the
proper rating for the circuit, install one with a
lower rating until you can replace it with the
proper rated fuse. If the replacement fuse of the
same rating blows in a short time, there is
probably an electrical problem with your RV.
