120-volts AC, which
is either supplied by
shore power or by the
on-board generator.

absorption -type and the electric 12-volt DC refrigerators
require 12-volts DC for control circuitry.
Powering refrigerators during travel:
To keep the refrigerator operating while the motorhome is
either in-transit or o-the-power grid, each type of refrig-
erator is provided with a unique method of power. If the
motorhome has a residential, 120-volt AC, compressor-type
refrigerator, it is equipped with an inverter that has adequate
power output to operate the refrigerator via power delivered
from the auxiliary batteries. Be sure the master battery switch
is ON, along with the inverter. To prevent battery discharge,
only operate the refrigerator via the inverter when the
vehicle's engine is running. While in transit, operating the
refrigerator from power supplied by the on-board generator
is possible.
If the motorhome is equipped with a gas/electric refrigerator,
operate the refrigerator on gas (on-board LP) while in-transit.
Be sure the main gas valve is ON at the LP tank and that the
master battery switch is ON (supplying control circuitry with
12-volt power). Some states have strict regulations regarding
operating gas appliances while in-transit. If regulations
prevent LP gas use while in-transit, operate the refrigerator
on 120-volts AC, delivered by the on-board generator.
If the motorhome is equipped with a 12-volt DC compres-
sor-type refrigerator, it can be operated on the auxiliary
battery(ies) while in-transit. To prevent severe battery drain,
the motorhome will also be equipped with a stand-alone
Automatic Generator Start (AGS) device (refer to AGS,
Electrical Section). When ON, the AGS will automatically
start and operate the generator, supplying power to the
refrigerator via the on-board converter, which also supplies
charging voltage to the auxiliary battery(ies).
For complete instructions on the refrigerator supplied with
your motorhome, refer to the manufacturer's instructions
provided in your Owner's packet. Also, refer to the TMC
Quick Start Guide, Refrigerators, available through the TMC
Owners Resource on-line document service.
NOTE: Stored food items may shift during travel. Use
caution when opening the refrigerator door during and
after travel.
Microwave and Microwave/Convection
Ovens
For speed and convenience of food preparation, all TMC
motorhomes are equipped with a microwave oven or a com-
bination microwave/convection oven. Microwave ovens are
appropriately sized, matching the design and compactness
of the motorhome's kitchen and oorplan. All microwave
