12- F P
VOLT USE ANEL
The 12-volt fuses are located in the Load Center. They are labeled to indicate fuse sizes,
positions and the components powered. At the beginning of camping season, inspect all the
12-volt fuses in the Load Center and replace as needed.

Replacing a fuse

Before replacing a fuse, always turn off electrical component(s) protected by it.
1. Disconnect the shore power cord.
2. Disconnect the recreation vehicle auxiliary battery main negative battery cable.
3. Remove the fuse panel cover to check fuses.
4. Pull the fuse straight out of the fuse block. If the fuse is not blown, something else
must be causing the problem. Please contact your dealer for further assistance.
5. Insert a new fuse of the same specified voltage, amperage rating and type in the
original location. Never use a higher rated replacement fuse.
The fuse panel label should be kept permanently affixed to your recreation vehicle. The
fuses will not offer complete protection of the recreation vehicle electrical system in the
event of a power surge or spike.
Replacement fuses must be of the same voltage, amperage rating and type. Never use
a higher rated replacement fuse; doing so may cause a fire by overheating the RV
wiring.
12-V DC O
OLT UTLET
There may be one or more 12-volt DC power outlets in your recreation vehicle. When the
12-volt DC outlet is used as a power source for an electric appliance, make sure the
appliance operates on 12-volt DC power and that it consumes less than 60 watts (5 amps)
of power.
Keep the protective dust cap on the 12-volt DC outlet when not in use to prevent
ingestion of foreign material and potential short circuit conditions.

Auxiliary Battery (Customer Supplied)

Your recreation vehicle has many 12-volt DC loads. When combined, their total is more
than the converter can produce. High demands for 12-volt power can be met by an
auxiliary battery for limited periods of time. The 12-volt DC electrical system is designed
for usage with a Group 27, deep cycle battery.

Dry camping

Consider the charge condition of the auxiliary battery when dry camping. If the auxiliary
battery is not being recharged and power is being drawn from it, it will eventually
discharge. A battery will discharge at a faster rate as its energy level becomes depleted. It
is recommended you plan your electrical usage accordingly. For accuracy, test the
auxiliary battery voltage using a volt-ohm meter (customer supplied).
