Mr. Anderson

April 4, 2025

The 1999 Monaco LaPalma is compatible with a 120 Volt AC electrical system and can connect to either a 30 Amp or 50 Amp shore power source or a generator. The Energy Management System (EMS) automatically detects the available power source and manages up to six heavy loads to prevent overloads.
