Energy will enter through the main breaker and
is distributed through circuit breakers to the wall
receptacles and appliances. This power cord
will be approximately 26 to 28 feet in length.
Each cord has the correct gauge of wire to
carry the correct voltage to coach.
In some hook-ups the power cord may not be
long enough and extension cords are required.
Always use a cord with the gauge of wire equal
to or greater then the power cord. Should you
use a cord with a smaller wire gauge,
overheating, loss of amperage, and possible
melting could occur.
DO NOT leave any unused portion of an
extension cord in a “coil” as it may overheat,
short-circuit wires and potentially destroy your
extension cord.
Circuit Breakers and Box—120 volt AC.
On a 30 amp system, a maximum of six distribution circuits are
permitted. All breakers are sized according to power needs on each
line.
The following generic drawing shows the circuit breaker alignment
with number one being the main breaker on all floor plans.
Depending on the size, floor plan and options of your coach, circuit
three through six will vary and possibly not all circuits will be used.
Number two is the 20 amp air conditioner circuit beside 30 amp
main.
An owner must realize and understand that a coach has a total of 30
amp service available to be used. Conserving and choosing which
appliance has priority in consumption needs to be part of the
planning.
Never use a “cheater” plug or extension cord which breaks the continuity of
the ground circuit to the grounding pin.
