SECTION 9
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Current drawn from the coach batteries passes
through the power center unchanged, although it
is routed through a series of protective circuit
breakers.
12-Volt House Circuit Breakers
The 12-volt house breaker panel contains
pop-out breakers; push in to reset. The breakers
are clearly labeled for the circuits which they
protect. The breaker panel is located behind a
small door near the galley or below the refrigera-
tor.

*Typical view of breaker panel. Actual fuse or breaker
labels may vary according to appliance and equipment op-
tions. Fuses and breakers are labeled on panel.
110-Volt Circuit Breakers
The breaker panel protects all 110-volt com-
ponents in the motor home from either an over-
load on the circuit or a short in the wiring or
component itself. When an overload or short
develops, the breaker will open preventing any
9-4
further flow of electricity and, therefore, damage
to the system.
Shut off the equipment (example: air condi-
tioner) and allow a brief cooling period. Then
reset the breaker by moving the switch to "Off"
and back to "On". If the breaker continually trips
and no equipment is running, have the system
checked for a short in the wiring or the appli-
ances.

tem elsewhere in this section.

CHARGING SECTION
The house batteries are automatically charged
while 110-volt external power is connected. The
charger will automatically "sense" the condition
of the RV battery. If it is below "full charge", the
Charging Section will start charging the battery.
If the house batteries have been extremely dis-
charged, they will accept charge at a relatively
high amperage rate. If they are only slightly dis-
charged, they will charge at a lower amperage
rate. The rate of charge will decrease as the bat-
teries reach "full charge", then will remain "trick-
le" charging at a very low amperage rate. If your
storage battery does not charge as described
above, it is possible the battery is defective.
