Chassis Batteries
If your coach is going to be unoccupied for
two weeks or more, Winnebago Industries
®
recommends disconnecting the chassis batteries
in your coach to avoid battery discharge.
Turn the Chassis Battery Disconnect switch
(located near the entrance door) to the OFF
position to disconnect batteries.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND
FUSES – HOUSE 12-VOLT DC
All 12-volt circuits and equipment in the
coach area of the motorhome are protected by
either a fuse panel or breaker panel. When a
circuit is overloaded or a short develops in any
part of the system, a fuse or breaker will shut
down that circuit. If this happens, turn off all
affected lights or appliances and reset the breaker
or replace the fuse with a new one of equal
amperage rating.
Battery Charge Meter
See related item under “Systems Monitor
Panel” in Appliances section.
Battery Boost Switch
See Driving Your Motorhome section for
information on the Battery Boost Switch.
To prevent wiring damage, it is essential
when replacing the cables on the battery,
or when using a “booster” battery, that the
positive post and the positive cable be
attached and the negative post and
negative cable be attached. The posts are
marked (+) plus and (-) minus.
If a “boost charger” is used while battery
is in the motorhome, disconnect both
battery cables before connecting the
charger to avoid damage to engine
electronic components.
Never attempt to charge or boost a frozen
battery. An explosion can occur resulting
in personal injury.
