ELECTRICAL
INVERTER/CHARGER UNIT -
1000W
(Model 34Y only)
–If Equipped
The inverter unit is located on the wall of the
utility compartment.
NOTE: The inverter is not intended for steady
use while "dry camping". Batteries will
deplete quickly with use of the inverter.
The inverter is intended for limited, short
term power usage when not connected to
shoreline or generator power.
The inverter can also be used while
driving the motor home because the
engine alternator will charge the
batteries while driving.

NOTICE
Do not store items too closely around the
inverter unit in the storage compartment.
The inverter generates heat while
operating and needs unrestricted airflow
for proper cooling. Damage to the inverter
can result.
The inverter changes 12-volt DC battery
power into 120-volt AC power for use by 120-
volt AC equipment inside the coach.

Inverter Control Panel
The inverter has a wall-mounted monitor/
control panel. It will also display warnings for
overload conditions or other operating failure
conditions.

(Located near monitor panel)
-Typical View
When the inverter is not being used, it should
be shut off at the control panel. The inverter
could drain the house batteries if the shoreline is
not connected to external power and the House/
Coach Battery Disconnect switch is on.
Further Information
See the inverter control panel instructions in
your InfoCase for complete instructions and
charging setup directions.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS – HOUSE
120-VOLT AC
The breaker panels protect all 120-volt
components in the motor home from either an
overload on the circuit or a short in the wiring or
component itself. When an overload or short
develops, the breaker will open preventing
damage to the system.
Shut off the equipment (example: roof air
conditioner) and allow a brief cooling period.
Then reset the breaker by moving the switch to
"Off" and back to "On". If the breaker is
continually tripped and no overload is evident,
have the system checked for a short in the wiring
or the appliances.
The breaker panels are located behind a door
or pull-off panel on a lower cabinet face in the
galley or lounge area or beneath the rear bed,
depending on model.
