NVERTER F O
An inverter converts 12-volts DC to useable 120-volts AC and supplies continuous
AC power to the appliance plugged into it. Your RV may use an inverter to supply
the 120-volts AC necessary to power a residential style refrigerator (available on
certain models). The inverter in your RV has been carefully selected to provide
proper power to operate the refrigerator safely.
Inspection and maintenance
If the inverter is not functioning, check the fuse protecting the inverter input. If you
have further concerns contact your dealer. There are no customer serviceable
parts inside the inverter case and the manufacturer's warranty will be void if
the case has been removed. As with the converter, cooling fins and the cooling
fan should be kept clear of any obstructions.
GFCI R
ECEPTACLE
Grounding is your personal protection from electrical shock.
ground fault current interrupter (GFCI) engineered into the electrical system. This
device has been designed to reduce the possible injury caused by electric shock.
The GFCI will not protect against short circuits or circuit overloads.
Test all GFCI receptacles monthly

Push in the GFCI "TEST" button. The GFCI "RESET" button should pop out
indicating the GFCI receptacle has been "tripped" and interrupted 120-volt
power.

Push in the GFCI "RESET" button to restore 120-volt power. Contact your
independent dealer for assistance if the GFCI "RESET" button does not
restore 120-volt power and pops back out.
A "tripped" GFCI receptacle indicates that abnormally high 120-volt current flow (a
ground fault) was detected through the electrical system grounding circuit. A fault
condition can be caused by faulty wire insulation, wet wiring inside an appliance,
or faulty electrical equipment connected to the circuit, etc. All ground faults must
be repaired before use of the RV.
12- DC S
VOLT YSTEM
The majority of your RV lighting is powered by 12-volt electricity. The 12-volt DC
system is composed of components that will operate when the following conditions
are met:
□
Power is supplied by the tow vehicle alternator when the engine is running
and the 7-way trailer plug is connected. This powers the RV's running lights,
brake lights, turn signals and brakes. In addition, the 7-way trailer plug
provides a common ground and a 12-volt charge line to charge the auxiliary
battery.
□
The converter will supply interior 12-volt DC power when the power cord is
plugged into campground power. The converter will also charge the RV
battery in most situations.
□
The auxiliary battery powers many interior 12-volt components including the
lighting fixtures, water pump, 12-volt motors, 12-volt appliances, etc. It also
powers the breakaway switch.
