• Open the LP-Gas tank primary valve.
• Prepare the shore cord for connection. Uncoil and inspect the cord,
and perform necessary cord maintenance. Install proper electrical
adapters if anything other than 50 Amp service is provided.
Operate electrical appliances in sequence when hooked to limited
shore power service. Turn shore power circuit breaker OFF prior to
plugging in the shore cord.
• If possible, begin appliance operation on LP-Gas for the first 60
minutes. Switch the refrigerator operation to gas and start the water
heater and furnace (if needed). This allows time for the inverter to
stabilize battery charging.
When Hooked to 50 Amp:
After verifying proper voltage, wait approximately one minute for
the inverter/charger to “stabilize” charging of the batteries before start-
ing air conditioners or other large AC loads.
When Hooked to 30 Amp:
Wait approximately one hour before operating electrical appliances.
This will allow time for the inverter to stabilize charging the batteries.
Use caution when operating appliances to avoid overloading the sup-
plied shore service breaker. Operate appliances and outlets in sequence
rather than all at the same time.
NOTE:
Wait times are not necessary on motorhomes equipped with a converter.
CAUTION:
If shore power service is limited to 15 or 20 Amps, use of light duty extension cords
and electrical adapters will create a voltage loss through the cord and at each elec-
trical connection. Line voltage loss and the resistance at each electrical connection
can be a hazardous combination. Damage to sensitive electronic equipment may
result!
NOTE:
To avoid shore power overload when hooked to 30 Amp service, determine current
load prior to turning on appliances or using interior outlets.
CAUTION:
Do not remove cover from shore power supply to troubleshoot electricity to the
motorhome. Serious personal injury or death may occur. If there is no power to the
motorhome, inform the park manager. It is the park management responsibility to fix
problems with the shore hook-up at the site.
