HOUSE AND
AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEM
Special deep-cycle, high capacity house batteries provide 12-
volt DC power. These batteties are
/lot
the chassis 12-volt
battelles. Power is also provided by a DC converter that
operates when the motor home main electrical cord is plugged
into 120-voltAC power source. The house batteries are
charged by the motor home engine alternator, the converter
when it is operating, or the generator (if equipped).
Your motor home has two battery systems. One system sup-
plies l2-volt DC power to start the vehicle engine and genera-
tor. The other system supplies 12-volt DC power to the house
living area.
Some accessories or equipment such as clocks, radios or the
refrigerator may draw small amounts of current even when
turned OFF. A relay-operated disconnect system allows you to
disconnect either the chassis battery or the coach battery or
both. Disconnecting the batteries will help reduce the likeli-
hood of battery discharge over long storage periods.

ies. A switch on the
