9.1.2 120-VOLT CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The breaker panel protects all 120-volt equipment
and components in the trailer 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. 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 singular 30-amp panel switch which
protects the entire electrical system. Become
familiar with the locations of the main 120v
breaker and check it first if electrical problems
should be experienced.
Refer to converter and control panel manuals for
more information.
9.2 12 VOLT DC SYSTEM
The DC voltage system in your trailer consists of the following main components:
1. The RV deep draw battery.
2. The circuit fuses.
3. Associated wiring and power circuits.
9.2.1 TRAILER BATTERY (OPTIONAL)
The trailer battery acts as a power reservoir for all
12 volt circuits in the trailer including:
1. Trailer brake-away system
2. Water pump
3. System monitor
4. Optional slide-out room motor
This battery is a “deep cycle” RV battery designed
to provide power over a long period of time and to
stand up under the frequent drain and recharge
conditions of a camping vehicle.
