JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 6 - ELECTRICALSYSTEM GFCI R ECEPTACLE UTLET Grounding is your personal protection from electrical shock. Each RV has a ground fault current interrupter (GFCI) engineered into the electrical system. This device has been designed to reduce the possible injury caused by electric shock. -
Page 66: 12-Volt Fuse Panel
SECTION 6 - ELECTRICALSYSTEM JAYCO TOWABLE When voltage drops below those levels, permanent damage may occur. Typically, a deep cycle battery has an amp-hour rating of 75-100 amps. If you run the furnace and refrigerator simultaneously, you will be using approximately (12.0 + 3.0) 15.0 amps per hour. - Page 67 JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 6 - ELECTRICALSYSTEM Insert a new fuse of the same specified voltage, amperage rating and type in the original location. Never use a higher rated replacement fuse. The fuse panel label should be kept permanently affixed to your RV. The fuses will not offer complete protection of the RV electrical system in the event of a power surge or spike.

SECTION 6 - ELECTRICALSYSTEM JAYCO TOWABLE 50 AMP S YSTEM WARNING Make very certain the external power source (50 amp systems only) you connect the power cord to is a 50 amp NEMA 14-50 RV receptacle and not 240 volt AC. - Page 69 JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 6 - ELECTRICALSYSTEM WARNING Do not hook up the power cord to any receptacle until you have verified proper polarity and grounding. Polarity indicators can be purchased in most electrical and hardware stores. Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reconfigure incoming AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to the grounding pin.
- Page 70 SECTION 6 - ELECTRICALSYSTEM JAYCO TOWABLE 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).

JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 7 - FUELSYSTEMS Maintenance Propane gas is normally non-corrosive - you need not worry about the inside of your container. However, the outside should be kept free from rust by a periodic coat of paint in a light reflective color. Rust, scratches and/or dents can affect the safety of the cylinder. - Page 80 SECTION 7 – FUELSYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE If the pressure is too high, it affects performance and safety; if the pressure is too low, your appliances will not operate correctly.

JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEMS Turn ON the water at the water source. Enter the RV and open the cold water supply faucets to bleed air from the water lines. When the water lines are nearly full, you may experience some "air pockets." Allow them to escape before closing the cold water supply faucets. -
Page 86: Water Heater
SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE The water pump will automatically re-start when pressure drops. Some cycling may occur, depending on the volume of water being released. The water pump has a built-in check valve to prevent water from back flowing. - Page 87 JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEMS Read the safety and operating information provided in the manufacturer’s manual before attempting to activate the water heater. Make sure the water heater is filled with water before use; even momentary operation of the water heater without water in it may result in damage to the tank and/or controls.
