The 120VAC power is most commonly provided to your recreational vehicle by either connecting the RV to an outside power source when parked or by using a RV generator. When the 120VAC system is operational, power also passes through a system power converter, allowing the full use of all 12VDC functions in the RV. Some 120VAC functions in the RV may include:
When not connected to 120VAC power, the 12VDC system functions can be supplied by the battery. Batteries are recharged by the power converter when the RV is attached to an outside 120VAC power source or by the generator. (Be sure you turn the power switch ON; the generator will not charge the batteries or otherwise operate when the power switch is in the OFF position.)
If equipped, an on-board inverter can also supply limited 120VAC power by utilizing, and converting, the on-board batteries’ 12VDC power. See the inverter section of this manual for details.
NOTICE
Prior to supplying 120VAC power to the RV (generator or shore power), make sure all 120VAC appliances are turned OFF.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
To test the circuit, use the following procedure:
DANGER
Even with GFCI protection, persons with severe heart or other health problems may still be seriously affected by an electrical shock. The GFCI outlet is NOT a substitute for good electrical safety.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
PARK FUSES AND BREAKERS
Most campgrounds are equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker at the receptacle. It is recommend shutting OFF this circuit breaker before engaging or disengaging the power cord. This protects the park’s wiring, as well as the power cord on your vehicle from electrical damage. If electrical power fails, contact the park attendants and have them check the fuse or breaker for your supply receptacle.
No power to kitchen, bath or outside receptacle:
