Page 41: Electrical System
NOTE: INVERTER Your Owner’s Manual for RV612ULHW contains most of the essential information you need to enjoy the electrical conveniences of home while at RV parks or dry camping. However, we wish to highlight for you exactly how the charging portion of the inverter/charger works, in order to help avoid possible confusion: Supplying shore power or (optional) generator power enables RV612ULHW to charge the auxiliary battery (ies).
Page 42: 120 / 12V Inverter / Charger / Distribution Panel
Your vehicle’s electrical system should not be subjected to changes and / or additions to circuitry, appliances, etc. without consulting your dealer or Home & Park for proper installation procedures. Failure to do this could result in serious safety issues or component damage. Changes to the electrical system run the risk of voiding the warranty.

WARNING: If your vehicle is equipped with an optional flat screen TV, the TV must be off and in the stored position during travel. MONITOR PANEL: A monitor panel is located on the shelf above the passenger lounge seat, (see Picture E-P1).
