your InfoCase for complete features, operating
instructions, and precautions.
INVERTER/CHARGER UNIT –
2800W (PURE SINE WAVE)
–If Equipped
The 2800-watt inverter/charger has an AC
input circuit breaker to protect the inverter/
charger from overloads. The inverter/charger
also has "built in" features that protect the system
from abnormal conditions. See the inverter/
charger information included in your InfoCase
for a complete explanation of the system and
operating instructions.
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 motorhome because the
engine alternator will charge the
batteries while driving.
The inverter/charger unit is accessible through
a mid-passenger side compartment door.

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 converts 12-volt DC current from
the house batteries into 120-volt AC current for
use by 120-volt AC equipment in the motorhome.
Charging Section
While connected to 120-volt external power,
the inverter/charger will recharge the house
batteries using a 3-stage battery charger. It will
also supply 12-volt DC current for use by 12-volt
equipment in the motorhome.
If the house batteries have been significantly
discharged, they will accept charge at a relatively
high amperage rate. If they are only slightly
discharged, they will charge at a lower amperage
rate. The rate of charge will decrease as the
batteries reach full charge, then will continue
"trickle" charging at a very low amperage rate.
The inverter/charger features a Battery
™
Saver
Mode, which is designed to keep
batteries fully charged over long periods of time.
See the inverter/charger information included in
your InfoCase for more information on this
feature.
If the batteries do not charge as described
above, it is possible the batteries are defective. If
the batteries are extremely discharged, the
charger may not be able to recharge the batteries.
NOTE: Do not leave the shoreline plugged in
during storage. Follow regular battery
inspection and maintenance.
Inverter/Charger Control Panel
The inverter/charger can be programmed for
several charging options. It will also display
warnings for overload conditions or other
operating failure conditions.
