30 AMP 6-7
30 AMP SYSTEM
Your RV is equipped with a 30 amp 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system. The
entire system is designed to operate on 1 leg of 120-volt power at a maximum
current flow of 30 amperes. Exposure to voltages higher or lower than a nominal
120-volts will damage or shorten the service life of the electrical system and
appliances. The 30 amp 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system can be powered by
the 120-volt 60hz utilities found in RV campgrounds or by 120-volt 60hz generator
power.
30 AMP POWER CORD
The power cord is also commonly referred to as the “shore power cord.” This
power cord is designed to ground the RV electrical system through the external
power source receptacle. It is also designed to carry the voltage and current
output from 30 amp campground power receptacles.
Occasionally the electrical service provided by a campground may experience low
or high voltage (i.e., surges or spikes). Any prolonged exposure will shorten the
life of the electrical system and appliances. Consult your dealer for
recommendations on power surge protection.
WARNING
Make very certain the external power source (30 amp systems only) you
connect the power cord to is a 30 amp/120-volt AC RV receptacle and not
240 volt AC.
WARNING
Plugging the shoreline power cord into an incorrectly wired power source
could damage the RV electrical system and result in severe or fatal injury.
WARNING
The power cord must be fully extended when in use and not left coiled in the
electrical compartment or on the ground. If the power cord is left coiled, it
