SECTION 6 –
ELECTRICAL
6-2
The power 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 of the
power cord plug, the electrical connection can be
expected to carry rated load.
Power Cord Door
(Models with power cord compartment on
sidewall)
–If Equipped
A flip-up passage in the power cord door lets
you route the power cord out of the compartment
and close the door while the power cord is
connected.
After disconnecting the power cord, neatly
replace it in the cord compartment.
NOTE: Always keep compartment door and
access passage closed while shoreline
cord is not in use.
Park Fuses or Breakers
Most campgrounds are equipped with a fuse
or circuit breaker at the receptacle (which we
recommend shutting off before engaging or
disengaging the power cord.) This protects the
park’s wiring, as well as the power cord on your
vehicle from electrical damage. If electrical
power fails, contact the park attendants and have
them check the fuse or breaker for your supply
receptacle.
INVERTER UNIT – 1000W
–If Equipped
The inverter unit is located on the wall of the
utility compartment.
NOTE: The inverter is not intended for steady
use while “dry camping”. Batteries will
deplete quickly with use of the inverter.
The inverter is intended for limited, short
term power usage when not connected to
shoreline or generator power.
The inverter can also be used while
driving the motorhome because the
engine alternator will charge the
batteries while driving.
• Swivel the small cover section upward
to access the cord passage.
• Route power cord through passage
and close door while shoreline is
connected to outlet.
