1. When 120V AC shore line is plugged in, 55 amp converter supplies power to the
12V DC circuits and charges house batteries.
2. Chassis charging systems supplies power to house 12V DC circuits when engine
is running. Chassis charging system will continue to supply power to house system
unless excessive loading prevents chassis system from keeping up with demand. In this
case chassis systems take priority and separates house system from it circuits.
Battery Inspection & Care
Check external condition of batteries periodically. Look for cracks in cover and
case. Check vent plugs and replace them if they are cracked or broken. Keep batteries
clean. Accumulations of acid film and dirt may permit current flow between terminals
which could drain battery.
When not using your motor home for an extended period of time, remove batteries
and store them in a warm dry place. Mark positive and negative cables for easy identi-
fication. Charge batteries periodically during storage. If you are putting your motor
home into storage for a long time then it is recommended that you remove all batteries
from clocks, radios, smoke alarms, etc. that may be inside your motor home. This pre-
vents unnecessary drain and corrosion of batteries. Motor home batteries are deep cycle
marine batteries that consume water and they must be periodically filled. Use distilled
water only.
Chassis Fuses and Circuits
There are two fuse boxes in addition to the front distribution box that supply your
motor home chassis with 12V DC power. One fuse box is located under the dash on the
curbside of the motor home and the second fuse box is located outside the motor home
behind grille on chassis firewall. Fuse assignments are as follows:

! WARNING !
Do not allow battery electrolyte to come into contact with skin, eyes, fabric
or painted surfaces. Electrolyte is sulfuric acid solution which could cause seri-
ous personal injury or property damage. Wear eye protection when working with
batteries.
Do not store anything in battery compartment near batteries that might
touch terminals. This could cause an electrical shore circuit, drain battery’s
power, or start a fire.
