condition of the battery. If it is below "full
charge", the Charging Section will start charging
the batteries.
If the house batteries have been extremely
discharged, they will accept charge at a relatively
high amperage rate. If they are only slightly
discharged, they will charge at a lower amperage
rate. The rate of charge will decrease as the
batteries reach "full charge", then will continue
"trickle" charging at a very low amperage rate. If
your battery does not charge as described above,
it is possible the battery is defective.
Thermal Overload
A thermal overload will "break" the 120-volt
AC power to the converter section of the Power
Center if the power converter becomes
overheated. This can result from operating above
its maximum limit for an extended period of time
or by obstruction of ventilation to unit.
NOTE: The power converter section will
automatically route 12-volt lights and
motors to house battery power in this
event.
The thermal overload will reset itself after a
period of time, and the lights and motors will
again resume operation from the power converter
section. If the breaker trips again shortly after
reset, take immediate steps to correct the cause of
overheating. A portion of the house 12-volt load
(lights or motors or both) should be turned off to
reduce total load. Also, inspect the power
converter to make sure ventilation is not
obstructed.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS – HOUSE
120-VOLT AC
The breaker panel protects all 120-volt
components in the motorhome from either an
overload on the circuit or a short in the wiring or
component itself. When an overload or short
develops, the breaker will open preventing
damage to the system.
Shut off the equipment (example: roof air
conditioner) and allow a brief cooling period.
Then reset the breaker by moving the switch to
"Off" and back to "On". If the breaker is
continually tripped and no overload is evident,
have the system checked for a short in the wiring
or the appliances.

arrangement may vary according to
appliance and equipment options. Fuses
and breakers are labeled on panel.
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS –
HOUSE 120-VOLT AC
A number of standard household electrical
outlets are provided throughout the coach for
connecting small appliances such as televisions,
radios, toasters, etc.
An exterior outlet is also located on the
outside of the coach near the entrance door or in
a storage compartment on the passenger side of
the coach.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER
Bath, galley, and exterior outlets are
connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter), which is an extremely sensitive
circuit breaker that will help to protect against
severe electrical shock if a ground fault develops.
If such a condition occurs, the GFCI will break
the circuit by turning off the power to the
protected outlets. Should this occur, unplug all
the appliances on that circuit and press the reset
button on the GFCI equipped outlet.
