Electrics - Swift Escape 664 Quick User Manual

Electrics

The van has a 16amp 230v mains input connection on the left side. This is connected
using the long orange cable from the storage compartment.
First connect the larger of the two plugs to the van as shown. Then connect the other
end of the cable to the socket provided by the campsite. This avoids handling a live
connector.
DON'T DRIVE AWAY WITH THE CABLE CONNECTED
The blue flap on the connector hooks onto the mating plug. So to release the socket,
pull the flap towards you and twist the plug whilst pulling down.
There may also be a switch on the campsite socket outlet that must be turned on.
There is an electrical control panel over the entrance door.
Once the van is connected to the mains, the yellow "Mains On" indicator will glow, the
mains sockets inside the van will become active, the fridge can be switched over to use
mains electricity, and the van's batteries will begin to charge up.
Be aware that on its highest setting, the room heater can draw 8 amps of current from
the campsite. If used at the same time as an electric kettle and 4 amp water heater, the
combined load may exceed the limit of the campsite supply (often 16 amps), and cause
it to switch off and need resetting.
The main electrical switches are located underneath the right hand bench seat, you will
find the main RCD switch should you need to re-set the electrics after a trip.
