ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

General

The electrical system in your sport utility 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.
All conventional sport utility trailers will have 30-amp service
pre-wired into breaker box.
I
CAUTION: Power surges experienced while plugged in at a campground could potentially
damage electronic components in your recreation vehicle. Damage from power surges are
not covered by your Jayco warranty. Consult the component manufacturer's owner's
manual or your Independent Jayco Dealer for recommendations on power surge protection.

Changes, Modifications and Additions

Any changes or additions made after delivery may cause a hazardous condition. Consult your local
authorized dealer prior to making any changes, modifications or additions. Only qualified electrical
technicians should attempt to make changes or additions to the electrical system, using only
approved materials, components, and employing approved methods of installation, which meet
safety and code requirements.
I
CAUTION: Any electrical installation that does not meet the criteria of the manufacturer's
specification will VOID THE WARRANTY on the electrical system.

120-Volt AC System

POWER CORD

Your sport utility trailer is equipped with a 30-amp rated power cord
pre-wired into the breaker box. By opening the cable hatch door you can
pull the power cord out from the compartment and attach it to a power
source. The power will enter through the main breaker and is distributed
through the circuit breakers to wall receptacles and any appliances wired
directly as an air conditioner would be. The cord extends approximately
20'-23' (7 to 10 meters) from the sport utility trailer depending on floor plan.
To prevent accidental electrical shock, insure that the ground pin on the attachment plug cap is intact
to the earth ground through the RV park receptacle. Any accidental short of a live circuit conductor
will trip the circuit breaker indicating a shorted circuit. You should be certain that the polarity of the
external power is not reversed, in order to avoid harm to appliances and personal electrical shock.
Polarity indicators may be purchased in most electrical and hardware stores.
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.
