• Follow the procedures and guidelines for “Leveling
the Motorhome.” If the motorhome is equipped with
hydraulic jacks, be certain the parking surface will
accommodate the weight placed on the jacks.
CAUTION: Hot asphalt may not support the weight that
is placed on the hydraulic jack pads. Place thick plywood
under the jack pads to help disperse the weight. Never
use the leveling system to support the entire weight of the
motorhome. Damage from excessive torsional twists can
result.
• Open the LP-Gas tank valve.
• If possible, begin appliance operation on LP-Gas for
the first 60 minutes. This will allow time for the
inverter to stabilize the battery charging. Switch the
refrigerator operation to gas, start the water heater
and furnace (if needed).
• Prepare the shore cord to be plugged in. Uncoil and
inspect the cord. Perform any necessary cord mainte-
nance. Install proper electrical adapters if anything
other than 50 amp service is provided. Operate elec-
trical appliances in sequence when hooked to a limit-
ed shore power service. Turn shore power circuit
breaker OFF prior to plugging in the shore cord.
CAUTION: If shore power service is limited to 15 or 20
amps, use of light duty extension cords and electrical
adapters will create a voltage loss through the cord and at
each electrical connection. Line voltage loss and the
resistance at each electrical connection can be a haz-
ardous combination. Damage to sensitive electronic
equipment may result!
• If cable service is provided, hook-up a 75 Ohm or
RG6 cable to the cable connection in the service cen-
ter. If the motorhome has a video selector box press
the appropriate viewing button for the item desired.
• A phone connection port is provided in the service
center. Phone utility outlets are placed throughout the
motorhome, including a phone line attached to the
satellite receiver for Pay Per View movies and events.
• Hook a potable water hose to the city water connec-
tion in the service center. A water pressure regulator
is built in. Turn the hand valve so the pointer indi-
cates “city water.”
