ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

The shoreline cord is designed to ground the
electrical system through the receptacle. It is also
designed to carry the amperage output of most
campground outlets. If the electrical receptacle to
be used is designed to mate with the prongs on
the power cord plug, the electrical connection can
be expected to carry rated load.
Your coach may be equipped with either 30-
amp or 50-amp shoreline service depending on
the power requirements of electrical appliances
and equipment in the coach. You can tell which
type you have by looking at the prongs on the
shoreline plug.
The optional 50-amp shoreline gives your
coach extra current handling capacity. This
allows you to run the central air conditioning sys-
tem at maximum (both compressors running)
while using other electrical equipment without
fear of constantly tripping the shoreline pole cir-
cuit breaker.
NOTE: Some parks do not have 50-amp service
available, so you will need to connect to
a standard 30-amp service pole using an
adapter.
Park Fuses or Breakers
Most campgrounds are equipped with a fuse
or circuit breaker at the shoreline pole. This pro-
tects the park’s wiring, as well as the power cord
on your vehicle, from electrical damage. If elec-
trical power fails, contact the park attendants and
have them check the fuse or breaker for your sup-
ply receptacle.
After disconnecting the power cord, neatly
replace it on the hanger bracket in the storage
compartment.

ENERGY MANAGE-
MENT SYSTEM (EMS)
The energy management system (EMS) mon-
itors the power consumption of the 110-volt
appliances and equipment in the coach and dis-
tributes the electrical loads to avoid nuisance
tripping of the shoreline circuit breaker. This
system works together with the energy efficient
Coleman Power Miser central air conditioner
unit to allow you to run both compressors at the
same time on a 30-amp shoreline connection.

50 Amp.
Do not plug the power cord into an
outlet which is not grounded, or adapt
the plug to connect to a receptacle for
which it is not designed.
Be sure that all three prongs of the
supply cord are properly plugged into
the receptacle.
Do not connect the power cord to an
extension cord.
