instances when combined
electrical loads exceed the
capacity of shore power, the
load center will temporarily
turn off power to an
appliance of lesser need so
that appliances of greater
importance will continue to
operate.
Example; when connected
to 30 amp shore power, the
water heater electric element
will be temporarily turned
off when both roof A/C units
are on. This will help prevent
potential overcurrent of shore
power causing the shore power
breaker to trip. Power to the water
heater will be turned on once
combined electrical loads do not
exceed capacity of shore power.
See “Load Center” for more
information and appliance priority
sequence of operation.
While there are several onboard
appliances, remote appliances
such as a coffee maker or hair
dryer increase power consumption.
The load center will compensate
overcurrent of shore power by
remote appliances by turning
off onboard appliances. Refer
to the load charts as a guide to
approximate power consumption
in total.
Appliances are generally rated
in watts. Watts can be converted to
amps using the following formula;
Watts divided by Volts equals
Amps.
WARNING:
Keep fingers away from
metal contacts of the shore
plug end. DO NOT stand
in water when making
electrical connections.
Serious electrical shock
and personal injury can
occur. To avoid the risk of
electrical shock, turn off
the circuit breaker at the
power supply outlet before
making the shore power
connection.
CAUTION:
Prevent flash damage to
electrical system contacts.
Turn off all appliances
prior to hooking up to
shore power, starting the
generator or using the
inverter.
CAUTION:
Do not remove cover from
the shore power supply to
troubleshoot electricity to
the motorhome. Serious
personal injury or death
can occur. Inform the park
manager if there is no
power to the motorhome. It
is the responsibility of the
park to troubleshoot and
repair the power supply.
WARNING:
Avoid the risk of
electrical shock or
component damage by
disconnecting from shore
power during electrical
storm activity. Use the
inverter or start the
generator if AC power is
needed.
Connecting the Power Cord
The power cord is stowed on a
reel assembly that is 12 Volt DC
powered. The power cord switch
operates a 12 Volt DC motor that
retracts the power cord.
 Ensure all appliances are
turned off.
 Extend a sufcient amount
of cable to reach the power
supply.
