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 fl ow of electricity in the system
and prevents damage or fi re.
If a breaker “trips”, allow a brief “cool down” period
and then reset the breaker by turning it OFF and
then ON. 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
by a qualifi ed technician.
Refer to Inverter and control panel manuals for more
information.
There is a single 50 Amp main breaker which protects
the entire electrical system. This breaker should be
checked fi rst if the entire electrical system will not
function on shore power.

GFCI OUTLET (TYPICAL)
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.
10.1.4 GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER (GFCI)
Various outlets in the motorhome, particularly
those near sinks and water supplies, are con-
nected to a GFCI which is a very sensitive circuit
breaker that will protect you from electrical shock if
a 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 have the problem
investigated and repaired by a qualifi ed technician
before using it again.
Refer to Inverter and control panel manuals for more
information.
Depending on the fl oor plan in your vehicle, your unit
is equipped with a GFCI outlet in the bathroom and/or
outside receptacle.
