ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

General Information

There are two electrical systems in your coach. They are the 12 volt DC
system and the 120 volt AC system. Most standard appliances require 120
volt electricity while the majority of the lighting used in recreation vehicles is
powered by 12 volt electricity. The power for the 12 volt system is supplied by
the coach batteries, which are charged by two 45 amp power converters. The
power for the 120 volt systems is supplied by the power cord when the unit is
connected to an outside power source or by the generator. If installed, the
optional inverter can also supply 120 volt power. It will transform 12 volt
electricity from the batteries into 120 volt power for basic appliances.
CAUTION
Failure to turn off the 120 volt appliances when starting or stopping the
generator may damage the transfer switch and/or electrical appliances.
WARNING
Use of "Adapter" cords with the RV shore power cord.
All Newmar units are manufactured with either a 30 or 50 amp electrical
breaker box and electrical system. A unit with a shore power cord that has
3 prongs on it has 30 amp service; if the shore power cord has 4 prongs, it
has 50 amp service. To provide the correct amperage into the RV and to
assure the operation is as designed, it is important that they be plugged
into the correct type of properly grounded receptacle. The receptacle
MUST be properly grounded to insure safe, proper operation of all
electrical components.
NEWMAR CORPORATION DOES NOT RECOMMEND USE OF "ADAPTER",
"CHEATER", OR "DOG BONE" STYLE CONNECTORS THAT WILL MODIFY
THE EXISTING SHORE POWER CORD TO A DIFFERENT STYLE OF
OUTLET. USE OF THIS TYPE OF ADAPTER WILL GREATLY REDUCE THE
AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE CURRENT IN THE UNIT, AS WELL AS CREATE
THE POTENTIAL FOR ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND / OR FIRE. NEWMAR
CORPORATION CANNOT ASSUME LIABILITY FOR FAILURES OCCURING
TO THE RV, ITS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, OR ANY OF ITS COMPONENTS
FROM THE USE OF ANY ELECTRICAL ADAPTER.
