There is a shore power indicator light to the right of the switch to tell you the system is receiving shore power. There is also a
battery charging indicator light to tell you when the batteries are being charged by shore power.
Your refrigerator will run on either 12 volt battery power or 120 volt inverter power, or propane if you wish to save electricity.
Generator switch and hour meter
Optional Gasoline Generator
The gasoline powered generator provides up to 2800 watts of
120 volt household current, enough to run all your appliances
and recharge your batteries. Please refer to the Onan Generator
manual for operation and maintenance.
Always close the rear windows of the vehicle and turn off the
roof ventilation fan to avoid exhaust entering the vehicle's
interior.
There is an hour meter to the right of the switch which displays
hours of generator use. Maintenance on the generator is
scheduled according to hours of use. There is a break-in oil
change scheduled after 20 to 50 hours of generator use, so
check your Onan manual for particulars.
Please be sure to operate the generator at half load or
more (at least 1200 watts, either the heat pump or an
electric heater) for one hour every month. Failure to do this
can lead to internal corrosion, gumming up of the float bowl, and eventual failure.
