Section 6: Electrical System
Solar Prep (if so equipped)
Your recreation vehicle may be wired with a (exterior) plug in that
will allow the batteries to be trickle charged using a free standing
solar panel. In most models, the solar panel kit is a customer pur-
chased and installed option. The solar plug location will vary by
model, but may be located on the exterior sidewall, on the A-frame
of the RV, in the outside utility center, or mounted up on the roof.
There are capped off wires located in the area of the battery. These
wires are the battery charging wires. Once these wires are properly
connected to your battery, you will then be able to plug the solar
panel into the charging port.
When the system is connected properly, the solar panel will supply

power to the battery, the battery will supply power to the converter,
and the converter will supply power to all the 12V systems as needed.
Replacing Light Bulbs
Before replacing a bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb
with your bare fingers. The skin oil left on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot,
the vapor will condense on the reflector and it will dim the surface.
Replacement light bulbs must be of the type, voltage and wattage listed on the lamp fixture.
Use of incorrectly sized bulbs can overload lamp circuits and may create a fire hazard by
overheating the fixture.
