Troubleshooting guide

3. The Power Converter: The power converter has two functions. It runs the

110V systems when the motorhome is plugged into shore power and it also

converts 110V to 12V to operate the 12V systems in the motorhome and

provides a trickle charge to the auxiliary battery. The power converter has a

set of circuit breakers and a set of fuses. The circuit breakers are for 110V-

operated systems, and the fuses are for 12V-operated systems. Examples of

these are:

110V systems: Microwave, roof A/C, 110V outlets and the refrigerator.

12V systems: Interior lights, water pump, and furnace. Slide-out (if

applicable), water heater.

Never store flammable materials near the converter. Converters create a

great amount of heat and require adequate ventilation. The power converter

has an automatic fan to provide cooling. It is normal to hear this fan turn on

and off.

The power converter is located at either the rear sleeping area or under the

dinette or refrigerator, depending on the unit model.

Fuses, GFI and Circuit Breakers:

For devices on the dashboard, the fuses are either

under the engine hood or under the dashboard.

For devices in the coach, all fuses are in the power

converter. Roadside Assistance can assist you in

locating this fuse panel. The power converter will

also contain circuit breakers that control power to

the devices using 110V AC. There is also a GFI

(ground fault interrupter).
