120VoltAlternatingCurrent(on‐boardgeneratororexternalpowersource)
Some larger appliances, like the air conditioner,
the microwave oven, some TV/DVDs and all
regular wall outlets require 120VAC. If you
connect the big black power cable to the
campgroundor havethegenerator running, you
areabletousetheseappliances.
Campgroundconnection
Most campgrounds provide electricity and with the power cord you
can connectthemotorhometothatpowersource.Itispossiblethat
the plug will not fit and you will need to use the adapter provided.
Makesurethecircuitbreakeratthepowersourceonthecampgroundis“ON”.
Overloadingthecircuit
Using more than one appliance at the same time will overload the circuit and interrupt the
power.Turnofftheairconditionerbeforeusingthemicrowave,toasterorhairdrier,etc.
GroundFaultInterrupter
The GFI (GroundFaultInterrupter) is a special circuit breaker for
120VAC wall outlets. It is part of an electrical outlet in the
bathroom or kitchen area. If too much current or a faulty
electrical appliance is used, the RESET button pops out and the
power is interrupted. Should this occur, first unplug all devices
andthenresettheGFIbypushingtheRESETbuttonbackin.Itwill
onlyresetifyouhave120VACsupply.
Fusesandcircuitbreakers
Each motor home has a power center (black,
brownorgreycover)whichisnormallylocated
somewhere in the living area. It contains a
series of fuses (standard 12VDC automotive
fuses)and 120VACcircuitbreakers.Shouldany
electrical appliance fail to
 operate, check the fuses and circuit
breakers first. A defective automotive fuse will have the thin
wireinsidemelted.
