When connecting appliances to the electrical system, remember that 120-volt
power usage is limited to a total of 100 amps (for 50 amp systems). Be mindful of
the fact that each operating appliance collectively places an added load on your
120-volt electrical system.
An unintentional "trip" of a circuit breaker may occur if you overload the RV's
and/or campgrounds electrical system.
The amperage rating of individual appliances can be calculated by dividing
appliance wattage consumed (normally listed on the appliance) by nominal design
voltage (120 for a 120-volt appliance).
For example: 1200 watts divided by 120-volts equals 10 amps.
To help prevent power surges from damaging the electrical system and its
connected devices, please follow the instructions listing below when
connecting to shore power.

Only connect the shore power cord to properly wired power receptacles.
50 amp systems: 50 amp NEMA 14-50 120 volt.

Do not connect the shore power cord to any power receptacle until you
have contacted the campground owner and/or premise attendant to verify
proper shore receptacle polarity and grounding. Polarity indicators can be
purchased in most electrical and hardware stores.

Do not use a cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reconfigure
incoming AC power or to break the continuity of the power cord grounding
circuit.

Do not connect the power cord to an outlet that is not grounded or adapt
the power cord plug to connect to a receptacle for which it is not designed
