120 Volt Receptacles
For your convenience, there are 120 volt receptacles located throughout the
interior of the unit. As an option, an extra receptacle may be added. These
receptacles require three-pin plugs that provide proper grounding to protect
you from electrical shock. Do not use an adapter, cheater, or extension cord
that breaks the continuity of the ground circuit to the ground pin. Never
remove the ground pin from a plug in order to connect it to a two-pronged
ungrounded outlet. Never operate the camping vehicle with an electrical short.
An electrical short may cause the exterior of the unit to shock you when
touched. If you feel even the slightest shock, disconnect the unit from the 120
volt power source. It is usually a break in the grounding circuit. The grounding
circuit must be continuous from the frame to the distribution panel, to the
power cord, and to the earth ground.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt Receptacles

The 120 volt electrical outlets in the kitchen and bath area are ground fault
circuit interrupt (GFCI) protected receptacles. The electrical outlets located in
the slide out are wired through the kitchen GFCI. The exterior electrical outlets
are wired through the bathroom GFCI. If an item plugged into a slide out or
outside receptacle is not working, check for a tripped GFCI in the kitchen or
bathroom. These outlets protect the user from ground faults between a hot wire
and ground. The GFCI will not reduce the shock hazard if the short is between
a neutral and hot wire, or two hot load wires.
The GFCI should be tested at least once a month. The 120 volt electrical
system must be on in order to test the GFCI. The reset button needs to be
pushed in all of the way before starting the test. Push the test button. This will
cause the reset button to pop out which means that the protected circuits have
been disconnected. Push the reset button back in until a click is heard. This
will reactivate the protected circuit. If the GFCI is working properly the reset
button will remain in the "IN" position.

ICC Flasher

On the dash you may have a switch labeled
"ICC Flasher." This switch is a momentary
type of switch. This means it is only active
while the switch is being pressed. It enables
the driver to communicate with other traffic
