On Board 120-Volt AC Power
Standard 2000W Inverter
The standard configuration includes a 2000 watt inverter. This inverter provides 120-volt AC
(household current) for a few of the outlets in your Roadtrek; primarily the ones running the TV
and the DVD player. It will run the microwave and the air conditioner.
The inverter is configured at the factory for the batteries and power sources in your Roadtrek.
Please do not change any settings without consulting the factory.
Your refrigerator will run on either 12-volt battery power or 120-volt inverter power.
Shore Power
The shore power connection is through the shore power cord, stored in the driver's side large
compartment. See Outside your
Roadtrek for location. The switchover from shore power to inverter is automatic.
To connect to external (shore) power, open the side compartment and remove the power cord.
Plug the power cord into the campsite 30 amp power source. See HOWTO: Shore Power for a
concise guide on how to connect and disconnect to shore power.
Outlets
The outlets are operated from the inverter, generator, or shore. and are protected by GFCI.
Several outlets have ground fault circuitry (GFCI) - the button in the middle of the outlet pops out
when they sense an anomaly or sometimes when the circuit undergoes transitional conditions.
These outlets also protect other outlets in the Zion. If you are not getting power from an outlet,
check and reset this button if needed. The outlet at the side door powers the TV and DVD player,
so check it if your TV is not receiving power. All of the outlets are connected so if the GFIC trips on
any outlet in the coach you will need to rest this breaker that is located on the electrical panel
above the drive cockpit.
