Electrical System
Coach Battery
The coach battery in your Roadtrek is a sealed AGM battery. Do not attempt to open it. There is no user maintenance possible
on this battery.
Battery Disconnect Switch
Battery disconnect switch
The battery disconnect switch provides power to all 12 volt
appliances, such as the water pump, the refrigerator, and so
forth. Even the propane cooktop uses 12 volt power to run the
burner igniters. This switch should be off when you are not using
your Roadtrek, and on whenever you are driving or camping. The
"Battery On" light next to it will indicate the position of the
switch.
Charging your batteries
Inverter-Charger
Your Roadtrek is equipped with a inverter-charger which
converts 120 volt AC (household current) to 12 volts DC when
you are connected to shore power or running the optional
gasoline generator. This 120 volt power is used to power your
12VDC appliances as well as charge your batteries. Whenever you are receiving either source of 120 volt power, you are
charging your batteries.
