Selecting A Replacement Battery; Solar Panel - Fleetwood Pace Arrow 2000 Manual

When the battery requires replacement, always choose a bat-
tery with the same physical and electrical characteristics as the
original equipment. Your dealer or an authorized Fleetwood
Service Center can advise you on proper battery selection.
If your motor home is equipped with roof air conditioners, the
front unit will have a solar panel. The solar charging panel is
designed to "trickle-charge" your battery system. It is not
intended to be a fast charger. It also cannot supply large
amounts of current to operate 12-volt DC electrical equipment.
When the sky is clear and under bright sun, the solar panel will
help keep yonr batteries "topped-up." Do not try to operate 12-
• volt DC appliances with the output of the solar panel. A light on
the monitor panel indicates when the solar panel is operating.
IThe panel can be expanded with optional expansion panels.
IIContact yonr dealer for more information on these optional
!pane!s.
