The device manual describes the 2013 Entegra Anthem Class A Motorhomes. This comprehensive manual covers various systems and components of the motorhome, including safety, vehicle operation, electrical, plumbing, heating & cooling, appliances, electronics, interior, and exterior features.
Function Description:
The Entegra Anthem motorhome is designed for recreational travel, camping, or seasonal use, providing temporary living quarters. It integrates multiple systems for comfort, safety, and convenience during travel and stationary periods. The manual serves as a guide for operating and maintaining these systems.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Electrical System: Comprised of two independent systems: 12-volt DC power and 120/240-volt 60Hz AC power.
- 120-Volt AC System: Operates on 2 legs of 120-volt power at a maximum current flow of 50 amperes per leg (total 100 amps). Can be powered by an outside 120/240-volt 60Hz utility service or a 120/240-volt 60Hz generator.
- Inverter/Charger: Converts 12-volt DC to 120-volt AC for selected appliances; also functions as a multi-stage 12-volt power converter/battery charger.
- 2000-watt inverter/charger protected by a 300-amp fuse.
- 2800-watt inverter/charger protected by a 400-amp fuse.
- Batteries: Heavy-duty deep cycle or absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries. A typical four-battery bank of 6-volt CG-2 deep cycle batteries (series/parallel) provides 12-volts, with a 75-amp discharge rate reserve capacity (RC) of around 420 minutes (25.5 hours). An eight-battery bank doubles this capacity.
