Inverter/Charger Unit - 2000W - Winnebago Journey User Manual

Park Fuses or Breakers
Most campgrounds are equipped with a fuse
or circuit breaker at the receptacle. This protects
the park's wiring, as well as the power cord on
your vehicle, from electrical damage. If electrical
power fails, contact the park attendants and have
them check the fuse or breaker for your supply
receptacle.
After disconnecting the power cord, neatly
stow it in the utility compartment.
INVERTER/CHARGER UNIT –
2000W
–If Equipped
The inverter/charger unit is located on the wall
of the utility compartment on the left side of the
coach.
The inverter/charger has a power/reset switch
and two circuit breakers to protect the inverter
and the AC input source from overloads. See the
inverter/charger operation information for
complete explanation and instructions on this
system.
NOTE: The inverter is not intended for steady
use while "dry camping". Batteries will
deplete quickly with use of the inverter.
The inverter is intended for limited, short
term power usage when not connected to
shoreline or generator power.
The inverter can also be used while
driving the motor home because the
engine alternator will charge the
batteries while driving.
Inverter Charger Unit Location
(in utility compartment)
*Typical picture shown for location.
CAUTION
Do not store items too closely around the
inverter unit in the storage compartment.
The inverter generates heat while
operating and needs unrestricted airflow
for proper cooling.
The power converter changes 120-volt AC
household current from the shoreline or generator
into 12-volt DC current for use by 12-volt
equipment in the motor home.
Charging Section
The charging section of the inverter/charger
charges house batteries while 120-volt external
power is connected.
If the house batteries have been extremely
discharged, they will accept charge at a relatively
high amperage rate. If they are only slightly
discharged, they will charge at a lower amperage
rate. The rate of charge will decrease as the
batteries reach "full charge", then will continue
"trickle" charging at a very low amperage rate.
