Load Center
The Load Center contains 12VDC fuses and 120VAC circuit breakers for almost all of the
electrical appliances and circuits in the RV. The 120V main breaker may be located in this
panel and will turn o all 120-volt power to the RV. Locations will vary by model. Refer to
the diagram inside the load center for specic fuse assignments.
The (diesel or gas powered) generator requires 12-volt power
from the house auxiliary batteries to start, and draws (diesel or gas) fuel
to operate from the chassis fuel tank. If the fuel level in the chassis fuel
tank drops to or below ¼ full, the generator will automatically shut “off” and
cannot be re-started until the fuel tank is lled to above ¼ full.
120-Volt Circuit Breakers
The 120-volt AC circuit breakers located inside the load center protect all 120-volt wiring
and components from circuit overloads and short circuits. Should a circuit overload or short
circuit occur the circuit breaker protecting the aected circuit will “trip” preventing the ow
of electricity through that circuit.
If a circuit breaker trips, shut o the appliance on that circuit (i.e., power converter, etc.)
and allow the circuit breaker to cool down for a brief period of time. After it cools down,
reset the circuit breaker by moving its lever “o” and then back to the “on” position. If the
circuit breaker re-trips or frequently trips, contact your dealer to have the electrical problem
diagnosed and repaired.
A circuit breaker identication label is permanently attached to the inside surface of the 120-
volt Load Center.
Only replace circuit breakers with those of the same specied type, voltage, and current rat-
ing. Please
contact your dealer for repair assistance when replacing circuit breakers.
Circuit breakers and fuses will not oer complete protection of the electrical
system in the event of power surge or voltage spike.
