our RV contains separate low voltage
(12-volt DC) and high voltage (120-volt AC)
electrical systems. All installations have been
made
in
compliance
requirements of ANSI standard A.1192,
National
Electric
Code
Standards Association Code. Because the
wiring and circuitry is engineered into a
dedicated system specific to your RV, we
recommend you do not make unauthorized
changes or add fixed appliances yourself.
Only qualified electrical dealer technicians
should attempt to make changes or additions
to the electrical system. Approved materials,
components and methods of installation must
be
used
to
meet
requirements. Any changes or additions
made to your RV may result in a hazardous
condition.

Careless handling of electrical components
can be fatal. Always take the appropriate
safety precautions when working around the
RV electrical system.
Use caution when using metal tools
around the RV electrical system. If a tool
contacts a battery terminal or metal
connected to it, a short circuit could occur
which
could
cause
explosion or fire.
Remove your rings, metal watchbands
and any other metal jewelry before
working around the RV electrical system.
Never touch or use electrical components
with bare feet, wet hands or while standing
in water or on wet ground.
NEVER allow children to play with the
electrical system or components.
Always disconnect the power cord and
auxiliary battery negative cable from the
battery before working around the RV
electrical systems.

WARNING
Do not attempt to use water to put out an
electrical fire. Water can spread some
types of fire, and electrocution is possible
with an electrical fire.
1. Have everyone (including pets) evacuate
your RV immediately.
2. After everyone is clear and accounted for,
if possible:
a. Disconnect the power cord from the
external power source.
b. Disconnect the auxiliary battery cables.
c. Turn OFF the generator (customer
supplied)
3. Check the fire to see if you can attempt to
put it out with the fire extinguisher. If there
is any doubt, call the local Fire Department
for emergency assistance.
4. Do not touch any electrical wires or
appliances.
If you feel the fire was caused by a product
failure you must contact Jayco Customer
Service at (574) 825-0608 for approval before
you clean any debris, enter, move or repair the
RV (failure to notify Jayco may result in loss of
coverage). Otherwise, when the fire is out
clean up the area as soon as possible. Always
have faulty or damaged wiring and electrical
components repaired before using your RV
again.

Your RV is equipped with a 240/120-volt AC /
50-amp power cord and load center. A
maximum of 50-amps (or 6000 watts) of power
can be consumed at any given time. It may be
necessary
to
stagger
appliances to maintain your power usage at
50-amps or lower. The 120-volt AC system
provides power to most of the appliances and
all of the electrical outlets.
