Twelve-volt power is provided by two, special deep-cycle,
high capacity 6-volt storage batteries located on a sliding tray
in the battery compartment. Power is also provided by an AC/
DC power converter for use when the motor home shore cord
is plugged into a 120-voltAC power source or when the
generator is operating. Battery charge is maintained by the
motor home engine alternator, or by the converter. A power
inverter supplies 120-volt AC power form these batteries.
The 12-volt fuses protect individual circuits. If the circuit is
overloaded, it will blow the fuse and the fuse must be re-
placed. Check the circuit for an overload. Remove the over-
load and replace the fuse with the same type and amperage
rating. The Fleetwood 12-volt fuse panels are located in the
basement l20-volt shore cord compartment and under the
refrigerator.

Power for living area ra-
dios and tape decks is
available from either the

strument panel allows
you to select the power
source. If you use the
radio, tape decks, or
other 12-volt DC equip-
ment for long periods of
time when the motor
home engine is not run-
ning, either battery may
be discharged.
