DuoTherm and RVP brands usually are acceptable for folding camping trailer roof
installations. Other brands may be used if the weight is 110 pounds or less and the
interior shroud fits around the roof components.

WARNING: Any electrical installation that does not meet the criteria may
damage the electrical system and cause problems which will not be covered
under your Jayco Limited Warranty.
WARNING: Follow the wiring listed below as it attaches to the air
conditioner.
Outer Smooth Protective Covering = Positive Black
Outer Ribbed Protective Covering = Neutral White
Center Smooth Protective Covering = Ground Green
Failure to wire as specified will send reversed polarity in the air condi-
tioner, causing a potentially dangerous situation with the possibility of
fire.
Follow the air conditioner installation instructions as supplied with the air conditioner.
Connect the 20-amp power cord to the air conditioner as listed above warning. Notch the
interior air conditioner shroud so the cord can pass between it and the roof. Using a
p-clamp, secure the cord to the outer edge of ceiling and let it hang down the side of the
tent. It is code violation to run the 120-volt cord through a conduit of any type of
covering. The cord
must be visible.
12-Volt DC System
The 12-volt DC system is composed of numerous items such as converter, battery, fuses
and lights. Explanation on these items will follow in this section.
CONVERTER
The converter utilizes 120-volt AC power and transforms this energy into 12-volt DC
power, which is used inside of the camper. 12-volt DC energy supplies power to all
lights, furnace blower, and water pump (option).
The converter is a technologically advanced 12-amp PWM “switch mode” type, that can
be used with computers. It is self-contained with built in circuit breakers and DC fuses.
A quiet cooling fan provides ventilation and is thermally protected to shut down and
cycle back on if overheating occurs.
WARNING:
• Turn off all interior lights before folding the camper for transit as the
bulbs may cause a fire hazard in the folded position and burn holes in
tent.
• Do not block converter ventilation.
