HOUSE
AND
A.UTOMOTIVE SYSTEM
Special deep-cycle, high capacity house batteries provide
12-volt DC power. These batteries are
not the chassis 12-volt
batteries.
Power is also provided by a DC converter that
operates when the motor home main electrical cord is plugged
into
120-volt
AC
power source. The house batteries are
charged by the motor home engine alternator, the converter
when it
is
operating,
or
the generator (if equipped).
Your motor home has two battery systems.
One system sup-
plies 12-volt DC power to start the vehicle engine and genera-
tor. The other system supplies J 2-volt DC power to the house
living area.
Some accessories
or
equipment such
as
clocks, radios or the
refrigerator may draw small amounts
of
current even when
turned
OFF. A relay-operated disconnect system allows you to
disconnect either the chassis battery or the coach battery
or
both. Disconnecting the batteries will help reduce the likeli-
hood
of
battery discharge over long storage periods.
