Testing the Campsite Power Connection

The campsite 120-volt power receptacle(s) should always be tested for proper function-
ality prior to plugging the recreation vehicle shore power cord into it.
Campsite 120-volt power receptacles can be tested using a digital multimeter or a dedi-
cated circuit analyzer. Dedicated circuit analyzers plug directly into the campsite power
receptacle and minimally test for open neutral, open ground, and correct polarity. Polarity
indicators can be purchased in most electrical and hardware stores.
Do not hook up the power cord to any receptacle until you have verified proper
polarity and grounding.
DO NOT plug the shore power cord into a campsite receptacle(s)
That has reverse polarity
With non-functioning ground circuits
That shows outward signs of heat damage.
Doing so may result in property damage or serious injury. Plugging the
shoreline power cord into an incorrectly wired power source could dam-
age the recreation vehicle electrical system and result in severe or fatal
injury. Damage or injury resulting from connection to malfunctioning
or improperly wired power sources is not covered by your recreation ve-
hicle warranty.
DO NOT
Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reconfigure
incoming AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to
the grounding pin.
Do not connect the power cord into an outlet that is not grounded, or
adapt the power cord plug to connect it to a receptacle for which it is not
designed.
Do not remove the grounding pin to connect to a non-grounded recep-
tacle. Removal of the ground pin disables an important safety feature
designed to prevent shock and electrocution hazards.
Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord. Use of an improper
extension cord will cause overheating of the cord as well as potentially
causing premature failure of the AC equipment.
The power cord must be fully extended when in use and not left coiled
in the electrical compartment or on the ground. If the power cord is left
coiled, it may potentially create enough heat to melt its protective casing.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the electrical receptacle to ensure that
the receptacle is properly wired and grounded. Reverse polarity and/or im-
proper grounding of your RV can cause property damage or serious per-
sonal injury.
