Electrical System; Changes, Modifications And Additions; 120-Volt Ac System - Jayco Eagle Owner's Manual

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The electrical system in this folding camping trailer is composed of 120-volt AC
(alternating current) and 12-volt DC (direct current) capabilities. All installations are
made in compliance with safety requirements of ANSI standard A.1192, National
Electric Code, and Canadian Standards Association.

Changes, Modifications and Additions

Any changes or additions made after delivery may cause a hazardous condition. Be sure
to consult your local authorized dealer. Only qualified electrical technicians should
attempt to make changes or additions to our electrical system, using only approved
materials, components, and employing approved methods of installation, which meet
safety and code requirements.

120-Volt AC System

Your folding camping trailer is equipped with a power
cord prewired into the convertor. By opening the
cable hatch door (Fig. 4-8) you can pull the power
cord out from compartment and attach it to a power
supply. The power cord is rated at 30-amps. For
Canadian units, the power cord is protected with a 30
amp main circuit breaker. This supplies 120-volt AC
power to camping trailer receptacles built into walls
and cabinet. Cord extends at least 20' from camping trailer depending on floor plan.
It is strongly recommended to avoid the use of extension cords. If an extension cord is
used, it MUST be the same amperage rating as the RV power cord. Using an improper
extension cord will cause overheating of the cord and equipment as well as possibly
causing premature failure of the AC equipment.
WARNING: Do not use an adapter, cheater, or extension cord that will
break the continuity of the grounding circuit. NEVER remove the grounding
pin to connect a non-grounded, two-prong receptacle. Any deviation from
this will potentially cause a fire from overheating.
