SECTION 6
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Cord Hatch
(Rotate to desired size opening
Three-prong 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 recep-
tacle to be used is designed to mate with the three
prongs on the power cord plug, the electrical con-
nection can be expected to carry rated load.
Your coach may be equipped with either 30-
amp or 50-amp shoreline service depending on
the power requirements of electrical appliances
and equipment in the coach. You can tell which
type you have by looking at the prongs on the
shoreline plug.
30 Amp Receptacle
The optional 50-amp shoreline gives your
coach extra current handling capacity. This
allows you to run both roof air conditioning units
at maximum (both compressors running) without
fear of constantly tripping circuit breakers.
NOTE: Some parks do not have 50-amp service
available, so you will need to connect to
a standard 30-amp service pole using an
adapter.
6-2
50 Amp.
Power Receptacle
WARNING
Do not plug the power cord into an
outlet which is not grounded, or adapt
the plug to connect to a receptacle for
which it is not designed.
Be sure that all three prongs of the
supply cord are properly plugged into
the receptacle.
Do not connect the power cord to an
extension cord.
Park Fuses or Breakers
Most campgrounds are equipped with a fuse
or circuit breaker at the receptacle. 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.
After disconnecting the power cord, neatly re-
place it on the hanger bracket in the storage com-
partment.
POWER LINE ENERGY MANAGE-
MENT SYSTEM (EMS)
The energy management system (EMS) mon-
itors the electrical usage of the appliances and
equipment in the coach and distributes the elec-
trical loads to avoid nuisance tripping of the
shoreline circuit breaker. This system works
together with the energy efficient Coleman
Power Miser roof air conditioner units to allow
you to run both front and rear units at the same
time on a 30-amp shoreline connection.
NOTE: Model 30A is not equipped with this sys-
tem because it has a single roof air unit
and is therefore unnecessary.
