breaker is placed within 18 inches of the auxiliary battery. Breaker will
automatically reset upon “cool down”, normally in 60 seconds. A 30 amp
automatic reset breaker is installed in the load center to operate your
slideout(s).
All wiring used in your coach meets correct amp rating correlated with
fuses and breakers in respective panels as required by code.
The RV battery is placed in parallel circuitry with the battery on your tow
vehicle, which is NOT SUPPLIED by manufacturer. Care needs to be
exercised not to drain both batteries together. There are two methods of
avoiding this condition:
First, disconnect the tow vehicle when parked.
Second, a battery isolator may be installed in your tow vehicle to prevent
power drain from batteries in both vehicles. This device “isolator” has two
useful purposes. It sends current from the alternator to both batteries
simultaneously. And the isolator prevents draw from the recreational
vehicle through the battery of the tow vehicle, preserving power to start
the engine.
Contact your dealer should you desire an isolator for your protection. Two
types are available, mechanical type and solid state, which is the best
and most expensive.
Exterior Lights and Connector—12-volt DC
A 7-way connector feeds power from tow vehicle to the exterior lights (tail
lights, clearance lights, brake lights, etc) of the RV.
1. Black-8 gauge-Ground=to battery ground.
2. Red-8 gauge-Positive= to battery positive.
3. Green-16 gauge= Running and tail lights.
4. Red-16 gauge=Left turn light.
5. Brown-16 gauge=Right turn light.
6. Blue-16 gauge=Brakes.
7. Yellow-16 gauge=Not used (backup lights).
Junction box is where 7-way power cord and wires from coach are
connected, mounted on A-frame of travel trailers. A 30 amp breaker is
located within 18” of battery connection on positive wire. Auxiliary battery
is not available from manufacturer, but is prepared for local purchase.
The connector between the recreational vehicle and the tow vehicle may
build up corrosion due to moisture. You may need to clean these
terminals occasionally to insure good electrical contact.
