SECTION 6
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM – 50 AMP
If a circuit breaker has been tripped, shut OFF
the connected appliance (i.e., air conditioner,
microwave, etc.) and allow a brief cooling
period. Then reset the circuit breaker by
moving the appropriate switch OFF and back
ON. If the circuit breaker is continually tripped
and no overload is evident, contact your
dealer to have the electrical system tested
and repaired.
A circuit breaker
permanently attached to the inside surface of
the 120-volt load center. Circuit breakers will
not offer complete protection of the park trailer
electrical system in the event of a power
surge or voltage spike.
Maintenance
At the beginning of camping season, inspect
all the breakers. Turn each breaker OFF and
back ON. Have the circuit breakers replaced
as needed.
Replacement
Replacement circuit breakers must be of
the same voltage, amperage rating and
type. Never use
replacement circuit breaker; doing so may
cause a fire by overheating the park trailer
wiring.
Please contact your
assistance when replacing circuit breakers.

The 50 amp power cord is also commonly
referred to as the "shore line power cord."
This power cord is designed to ground the
park trailer electrical system through the
external power source receptacle. It is also
designed to carry the voltage and amperage
output of 50-amp campground outlets.
Occasionally the electrical service provided by
a campground may experience low or high
voltage (i.e., surges or spikes). Any prolonged
exposure will shorten the life of the electrical
system and appliances. Consult your dealer
for recommendations

indicates 'reverse polarity' or an 'open ground'
DO NOT connect the power cord.
1. Turn OFF the load center main 240/120-
volt circuit breaker.
is
2. Carefully extend the entire length of the
power cord (approximately 25'-35') from
the electric cable hatch to the external
power source.
3. Plug the power cord into the receptacle.
Be sure all the power cord prongs are
properly plugged into the receptacle.
4. Return to your park trailer and turn ON the
load center main circuit breaker.
5. To help prevent power surges from
damaging the connected loads, please
follow these instructions when hooking up
to the external power source:
The shore line power cord should be
unplugged when the park trailer is left
unattended. If something would happen to
the electrical system, this may help limit
potential damage.
