Electrical Systems
Test all GFCI receptacles monthly
• Push in the TEST button. This should pop out the
RESET button, indicating the GFCI receptacle has
been tripped. This will interrupt the 120-volt power.
• Push in the RESET button. This should restore the
120-volt power.
Contact your dealer for assistance, if the RESET button
does NOT restore 120-volt power or trips repeatedly.
12-Volt DC System
Many of your RV components including the light fixtures,
water pump, motors and appliances run on 12-volt electricity.
• The Converter supplies 12-volt power when your RV
is connected to external power. The converter will also
charge the Auxiliary Battery in most situations.
• The Auxiliary Battery supplies 12-volt power when
your RV is NOT connected to external power.
• The Tow Vehicle Alternator supplies 12-volt power
when the 7-Way Wire Harness is connected, and the
tow vehicle engine is running.
This runs the components needed for travel including,
the brake lights, turn signals, brakes, running lights
and the breakaway switch. In addition, the 7-Way Wire
Harness provides a common ground and a charge line
to your auxiliary battery.
12-Volt DC Outlet (If So Equipped)
Your RV may include a 12-volt DC outlet (not applicable on all
models). ONLY use this outlet for an appliance that runs on
12-volt DC power and consumes less than 60 watts (5 amps).
• To prevent a short circuit, keep the 12-volt DC
outlet free of any (metallic) foreign material.
