ELECTRICAL
SYSTEMS
Your motor home
is
equipped with three electri-
cal systems:
the chassis 12-volt system
the Fleetwood 12-volt house system
the 120-voltAC system.
They operate together to give you electrical
power for many different situations.

The chassis 12-volt or vehicle electrical system
generally includes:
the clUlssis battery
chassis/house battery charging system

Chassis Bulbs
and
Fuses
Exterior bulb types
are
listed in section 04-01
of
this Owner's Manual. Always replace bulbs and
fuses with equivalent types and ratings.
Fuses will intenupt the flow
of
electricity if a
circuit
is
overloaded. The 12-volt chassis fuse
panel is located under the driver's side
instlU-
ment panel. Additional fuses are located under
the hood, or in 12-volt power leads on the
related equipment and accessories.
CAUTION
Always replace bulbs and fuses with equivalent types.
The type is marked on the
bulb or fuse.
FLEETWOOD 12-VOLT HOUSE
AND AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEM
This system generally includes:
all 12-volt interior lighting fixtures & outlets
fresh water
pump
12-volt accessories
House batteries provide 12-volt DC power.
These batteries are not the chassis 12-volt
batteries.
Power is also provided by a DC con-
verter that operates when the motor home elec-
trical cord
is
plugged into 120-volt AC power
source or by the generator (if equipped). The
house batteries are charged by the motor home
engine alternator,
or
by the converter when it is
operating.

NOTE 1
Power for living area radios
and
tape decks is avail-
able from either the chassis
or
house batteries. A
switch
on
the instrument panel allows you
to
select
the power source.
If
you use the radio, tape decks,
or
other 12-volt DC eqUipment for long periods
of
time
when the motor home engine is not running, either
battery may be discharged.
Batteries
Your motor home has two battery systems. One
system supplies 12-volt DC power to start the
vehicle engine. The other system supplies 12-
volt DC power to the house living area.
Battery Disconnect
(If
Equipped)
Some accessories
or
equipment such
as
clocks,
radios
or
the refrigerator may draw small
amounts
of
current even when turned OFF. For
your convenience, relay operated disconnect
cir-
cuits may be equipped with your motor home.
