composed of 120-volt AC
(alternating current) and
12-volt DC (direct
current) capabilities. All
installations are made in
compliance with safety
requirements of
National Electric Code.
All park trailers will have 30-amp service
(Fig. 4-22) pre-wired into breaker box. 50
amp service (Fig. 4-23) is available as an
option.

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.

120-Volt AC System

Power Cord

Your park trailer is equipped with a 30-amp rated power cord pre-wired into
the breaker box. By opening the cable hatch door (Fig. 4-24) you can pull the
power cord out from the compartment and attach it to a power source. (If
your park trailer is equipped with optional 50-amp service, a 50-amp rated
cord is supplied with your trailer.) 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 park trailer.
To prevent accidental electrical shock, insure that the ground pin on the attachment plug cap is intact
to the earth ground through the park receptacle. When plugged into a receptacle with no provision
for the third pin, use an adapter with a pigtail that can be connected to the receptacle box, with the
grounding circuit completed through the ground pin or park receptacle box. Any accidental short of
a live circuit conductor will trip the circuit breaker indicating a shorted circuit. You should be certain
