cablewithamaximumlengthof25m,
aCEEplugandconnectortoconnectthemotorhometoan
external230Vmains.
• Afterthemainsconnectionhasbeenpluggedin,boththe

Whenobtainingelectricityviaacabledrum,thismust be
completelyunwound,asotherwiseinductionmaycause
thecabletoheatup,whichcouldleadtoburning.
(Providedthereisnoprotectionagainstoverheating)
• The230Vmainsconnectioninthemotorhomehasbeen

tionaldevicesrequiringelectricityareconnected,suchasa
waterheater,etc.,youmustensurethatthiselectricpower
valueisnotexceeded,takingotherelectricalequipmentin
