5. To help prevent power surges from damaging the connected loads, please follow
these instructions when hooking up to the external power source:
a. Unplug the shore power cord when the RV is left unused. This may help limit po-
tential damage in the event of a power surge.
b. Use care to prevent damaging the connection pins when connecting or discon-
necting the power cord.
c. Reverse the "Connecting the power cord" on page 120
ready to leave.
6. ALWAYS disconnect the power cord from the outlet by the plug; NEVER disconnect
the plug by pulling the cord.
Power cord Maintenance
7. Frequently inspect the power cord for cuts, cracks and worn insulation. Replace it
immediately if any of these symptoms are found.

The circuit breakers and associated fuses are installed to protect the electrical system of
the RV from any overloads. Do not attempt to change from the electrical circuitry or to add
appliances yourself.
Please consult an authorized dealership or Vanleigh RV, Inc. to determine whether any
changes you desire are appropriate and acceptable. Our qualified staff of electricians can
readily determine whether any changes sought (e.g.: CB radio, amateur radio, satellite tele-
vision receiver, personal computer system, and the like) are possible or not and can advise
you on how to add these features.
NOTE: The 12-VDC fuses and breakers are located in a separate compartment
adjoining the 120-VAC breakers. Fusing is provided for the following 12VDC
circuits: all interior/decorative/overhead lighting, water heater, TV antenna
booster, slide-outs, power roof vents, monitor panel, exterior lights, awning, air
conditioning, and thermostat.
NOTE:
The Truma water heater always works on LP, but it needs 12V to ignite.
