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 in the storage compartment.

MANAGEMENT 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 central air con-
ditioner to allow you to run both compressor
units at the same time on a 30-amp shoreline
connection.

mation on running both air conditioner
compressor units at the same time. This guide
will also explain how this system operates under
several conditions, whether 20-amp, 30-amp or
50-amp connections.
