CAUTION
YOUR ELECTRIC CORD IS EQUIPPED WITH A
THREE-PRONG CORD TO ENSURE THAT THE
COACH IS GROUNDED WHEN CONNECTED TO AN
OUTSIDE POWER SOURCE. IF IT IS NECESSARY
TO USE AN ADAPTER TO MATCH A TWO-PRONG
RECEPTACLE, BE SURE THAT THE GREEN PIG-

ELECTRICAL
Your motor home has two electrical systems. One pro-
vides 115-volt power to operate all 115-volt living area
lights and appliances. This system is used when power is
available from a ground power source or from an on-
board generator power plant, if one is installed. The
second system uses on-board batteries to provide power
for all 12-volt lighting, appliances, and accessories as
well as normal vehicle needs.
115-VOL T SYSTEM POWER CONVERTER (INSIDE)
A 25-foot, heavy-duty, power cord is provided in a
special storage compartment. This cord is pulled out and
connected to any adequate 115-volt power source to
activate all power circuits. The connector is rated for
3D-amp capacity. Use this power plug only with the
proper mating connector and only with facilities having
a 3D-amp capacity. Such facilities are available in most
parks and campsites.
12-VOL T SYSTEM
When the power supply cord is not connected to a 115-
volt ground source (or to the generator power plant re-
ceptacle) power for lights and most appliances is auto-
matically provided from your auxiliary battery.
115-VOL T AC TO 12-VOL T DC CONVERTER
A voltage converter is installed in your electrical system
to supply 12-volt system requirements when the motor
home is operating on 115-volt AC power. It is centrally
located.
When 115-volts are supplied from either an external
power supply or the optional Auxiliary Power Generat-
or, the converter will switch the load from the batteries
to the converter.
If a battery charger is installed with the converter, auxil-
iary batteries will be brought up to full charge and main-
tained by the battery charger as long as 115-volt power
is available.
A fuse block behind the driver's seat has the fuses for
tail lights, running lights and other exterior lights
circuits.
Fuses for the motor home chassis circuit are located on
a panel under the dash behind the steering column. See
your Chassis Operator's Manual for further information.
Optional equipment may have additional fuses installed:
refer to the equipment instructions for information.
NOTE:
If fuse replacement is necessary, replace with
fuses of the same amperage.
