Electrical Systems
Certain model RVs may be equipped with reverse back-up lighting which will connect to the Center
Auxiliary #7 connection with a 14-gauge yellow wire. Disregard this connection if your RV is not
equipped with back-up lights. Be certain that your installation includes a charge line from the tow
vehicle alternator or battery with a battery isolator solenoid using a minimum 10 AWG stranded copper
wire (rated appropriately for under-hood temperatures) to the Battery Charge #4 connection. Install a 30-
amp fuse on this charge line near the tow vehicle power source. This circuit will help to maintain the RV
battery charge and by utilizing the battery isolator you will not run the risk of any RV appliances or
equipment draining power from the tow vehicle battery while it is not running. If your tow vehicle is
already equipped with the proper 7-way electrical connection, you may not need to wire a charge line
circuit however it would be a good idea to verify that this circuit is providing power from the tow
vehicle.
Interior/Exterior 12-Volt DC System
12-volt lighting, appliances and equipped items are powered and fused through the Power Distribution
Center independently of the Marker and Tail Lighting System. These items may include, and are not
limited to, interior lights, exterior utility lights, range hood, monitor panel, LPG detector, water pump,
furnace, refrigerator, vents, entertainment equipment, awning, USB charging ports, etc. These items can
function either from the RV batteries alone or through the Power Distribution Center when the RV is
plugged into 'shore power'.
Please refer to section 'Power Distribution Center' and the Distribution Center Operator Manual
included in your owner information packet provided with your RV for additional information.
Other high-power demand 12-volt equipment may include items such as stabilizer jacks, landing gear,
water tank heater, slide-out control, and wireless remote, etc. These items are typically fused separately
from the Power Distribution Center at an access panel location just rear of the RV batteries under the
floor for conventional travel trailers and for fifth-wheel models you will find this fusing located behind
an access panel just inside the passenger side exterior storage compartment.
These fuses are a 'Type-2' re-settable breaker fuse and typically do not need to be replaced if tripped. For
these fuses to be reset you must disconnect the batteries from the RV. Find and fix the cause of the
breaker tripping before reconnecting the RV batteries.
 Do not install fuses or breakers with amperage ratings greater than
that specified on the device or circuit label. This could potentially
overheat the wiring and start a fire.
