12-Volt Fuse Panel
• The label inside the 12-volt fuse panel indicates the fuse
sizes, positions and components powered. The fuse panel
label should be kept permanently axed to your RV.
• Inspect all 12-volt fuses at the beginning of each camping
season, and replace as needed.
• The fuses may not oer complete protection of the RV
electrical system in the event of a power surge or spike.
Replacing a fuse
BEFORE replacing a fuse, ALWAYS turn OFF or UNPLUG the
component(s) it protects.
1. Disconnect the shore power cord.
2. Disconnect the negative cable from the
RV auxiliary battery.
3. Remove the fuse panel cover to check fuses.
4. Pull the fuse straight out of the fuse block.
• If the fuse is not blown, please contact your dealer
to determine the cause of the problem.
5. ALWAYS replace with a new fuse of the same specified
voltage, amperage rating and type in the original location.
• NEVER use a higher rated replacement fuse.
Auxiliary Battery
Your RV has many 12-volt DC loads. When combined, their total
is more than the converter can produce. High demands for 12-volt
power can be met by an auxiliary battery for limited periods of
time. The 12-volt DC electrical system is designed for use with
a Group 24 or Group 27 deep cycle battery.
Dry camping
Consider the charge condition of the auxiliary battery when dry
camping. If the RV is drawing power solely from the auxiliary
battery without recharging, it will become depleted. As the
battery's charge becomes lower, it will also discharge at a
faster rate. It is recommended you plan your electrical usage
accordingly.
Replacement fuses must
be of the same voltage,
amperage rating and type.
Never use a higher rated
replacement fuse; doing
so may cause a fire by
overheating the RV wiring.
