Shore Power
The Tiffin GH1 utilizes the SmartPlug for shore power located at the rear of the van on the driver's size.
The 30 AMP Shore Power cord can be used to charge the house battery or power the van directly.
Note: Do not attempt to use any electrical adapters to convert the provided 30AMP Power Cord, as this will damage electrical components inside the van.
Master Battery Disconnect Switch
If the master battery disconnect switch is off, your batteries will not charge from the 30A shore power cord.
The master battery disconnect switch will turn off all power to and from the battery, excluding the auxiliary alternator charge while the vehicle is running.
The auxiliary alternator will not be disconnected from the battery when the switch is in the "OFF" position.
This will allow you to charge your coach while in transit without the risk of electrical components remaining powered.
Battery Merge
Located to the left of the steering wheel, the battery merge feature allows connection between the house battery and the chassis battery to jump start your van.
Master Battery Disconnect Switch
Switch 1: Tank Heat Turns off power to the thermostat that regulates the holding tank heat pads so that the pads will not turn on when the tank heat pad reaches freezing temperatures.
Switch 2: Battery Heat Turns off power to the thermostat that regulates the battery heaters so that the heaters will not turn on when the battery reaches freezing temperatures.
Note: We've included these switches specifically if you plan to leave your RV parked in freezing temperatures for extended periods. With these switches, you can shut off all power to the van to prevent rapid battery depletion, while still keeping the holding tanks from freezing and ensuring the batteries remain above their operating temperature (-4 degrees). Batteries will not accept a charge when internal temperatures drop below 25 degrees; however, you will still have the flexibility to turn off the heater for long-term storage.
Grey Water Tank Disposal
While using the van, it is important to keep the grey water holding-tank gate valve closed at all times, with the exception of dumping. This allows an ample amount of liquid to remain in the tank to provide a smooth flow through the gate and drain valves when dumping. Sufficient liquid in the tank causes a swirling action that should take any accumulated solid wastes with it.
Black Water Holding Tank & Waste Water Disposal
The Black Water Holding Tank is located on the drivers side of the vehicle. To dispose of wastewater from the black water tank you must remove the tank from it's holding position in the van, as shown, and dispose of it in a certified black water reservoir.
City Water Connections
The city water connection is located in the Nautilus P4 Panel on the rear passenger side of the unit (inside the van). There is an additional inlet on the exterior just behind the passenger side rear wheel. Both of these inlets will also be used to fill the fresh tank. The only difference between filling the tank and connecting to city water will be the orientation of the valves on the P4 panel.

Outdoor Table
Your van is equipped with a magnetic, fold-down table for use when the sliding door is open.
Induction Cooktop
Your van is equipped with a single-burner induction cooktop that is located in the drawer next to sink.
Use only with the outlet located above the galley overhead cabinet. This outlet has its own designated 20 AMP breaker.
Wet Bath
The Tiffin GH1 features a wet bath; a house for both the shower and the toilet. In this space there is a magnetic and removable shower curtain, plus a retractable clothesline. The wet bath utilizes a SHOWERMISER™ System, which allows the fresh water to circulate until it reaches the desired temperature before fl owing out of the shower nozzle. To initiate circulation, the diverter must be turned. Once the water reaches the desired temperature, the circular indicator will turn a blue/white color.
Go Power Solar Controller
LCD Touch Screen Controller
The Aqua-Hot ® hydronic heating system supplies heat and hot water only via a diesel burner with an option on the screen to swap to 120V electric. For air conditioning, the roof-mounted A/C with ceiling distribution shroud must be used.
NOTE: The diesel is pumped from the chassis fuel tank. To ensure the chassis does not run out of fuel, the pump will not supply diesel to the burner if the tank is less than ¼ full. The burner must be turned on before hot water can be supplied.
When using the system from a cold start, the monitor needs to be set to "Interior Heat Priority" and the water lines cannot be dry. The system needs to run in this temperature state for 8-10 minutes. Once the system finishes warming, the user can swap the monitor to "Hot Water Priority". The system will not operate correctly when the fuel tank has 1/4 or less fuel in it.
The EuroLoft TM Bed Lift utilizes a unique nylon strap-based system that has a weight capacity of 800 pounds. To lower or raise the bed, place the key in the horizontal position. When the key is in vertical position, the bed is locked.
Your van is equipped with an air compressor and 2 air supply locations. Running on the chassis battery, the air compressor receives power when the van ignition is on. The air compressor can be used to infl ate items such as tires, sporting equipment, etc. The switch to engage the air to the compressor is located on the driver side seat base, visible from driver door looking in.
Air compressor access is located under the front and rear bumper.
