10.1.2 POWER CONTROL CENTER
This panel contains the fuses for the 12 volt system,
circuit breakers for the 120 volt system and the
converter that changes 120 volt power into 12 volt
AC. Each system handles different circuits in the
motorhome.
Refer to Converter and control panel Manuals in the
Owner's Information Package for more information.
10.1.3
120-VOLT CIRCUIT
BREAKERS
The breaker panel protects all 120-volt equipment
and components in the motorhome from overload,
from a short in the wiring or a short in the
component itself. This cuts off the flow of electricity
in the system and prevents damage or fire.
If a breaker “trips”, allow a brief “cool down” period and
then reset the breaker by turning it 'off' and then 'on'
again. If a breaker “trips” again and again, this could
mean that there is a short in the wiring or in the
equipment and both should be checked and serviced.
There is a single 30 Amp main breaker which protects
the entire electrical system. This breaker should be
checked first if the entire electrical system will not
function on shore power.

GFCI OUTLET (TYPICAL)
10.1.4 GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER (GFCI)
Various outlets in the motorhome, particularly those
near sinks and water supplies, are connected to a
GFCI which is a very sensitive circuit breaker that
will protect you from electrical shock if a severe
ground fault develops. If and when this breaker
trips, unplug all appliances on that circuit and press
the reset button on the outlet.
If the GFCI keeps tripping check and repair the
electrical system before using it again.
Depending on the floor plan in your vehicle, you will find
a GFCI outlet in the bathroom and outside receptacle.
The GFCI will not eliminate completely all electric
shock. Small children or persons with a heart
condition should be extra cautious and could still
be injured even though protected by a Ground
Fault Interrupter.
