115 VOLT POWER CORD
21
ELECTRICAL
Your motor home has two electrical systems. One provides
115-volt power to operate all 115-volt living area appliances.
This system is used when power is available froma public
utility or from an on-board generator power plant. The
second system uses on-board batteries to provide power
for all 12-volt lighting, appliances and accessories as well as
normal vehicle needs.
115-VOL T
SYSTEM
A 25-foot (8.2 m) heavy duty power supply cord is provided in a
special storage compartment. This cord is pulled out and
connected to any adequate 115-volt power source to activate
all power circuits. The connector is rated for 3D-amp capacity.
Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) The bathroom and patio
outlets are protected by a Ground Fault Interrupter. This
device
is provided in compliance with ANSI/NFPA 501 C
req\.;irements, and is intended to protect you against
electrical shock possible when using electrical appliances
in the bathroom or damp areas. Should the appliance
(electric shaver,
hair dryer, etc. ) develop a potential shock
hazard, or if the electrical grounding circuit in the motor
home or at an RV campsite is faulty, the GFI device will
disconnect the outlet, protecting you from injurious shock.
If the patio outlet doesn't work, check the GFI. Reset it if
necessary.
If the GFI continues to trip, have the electrical.
system checked by a qualified electrician.
Your Owner's,Packet contains instructional material about
the GFI that should be carefully read and understood. Test
procedures are outlined there that should be carefufiy
followed
and documented.
12-VOL T
SYSTEM
When
the power supply cord is not connected to a 115-volt
power source (or to the generator power plant receptacle)
power for lights and most appliances is automatically pro-
videdfrom your auxiliary batteries.
115-VOLT
AC TO 12-VOLT DC CONVERTER
A voltage converter'is installed in your electrical system to
supply 12-volt system requirements when the motor home
is operating on 115-volt AC power. It is centrally located.
When
.i 15-volts are supplied from either an external power
. supply or the optional auxiliary power plant, the
converter will switch the load from the batteries to the
converter.
If a battery charger is installed with the converter, auxil-
iary batteries will be brought up to full charge and main-
tained by the battery charger is long as 115-volt power is
available. Maximum battery charge rate is up to 10 amps
depending upon model. See Owner's Information Kit
for operation and maintenance instructions.
