Introduction

The electrical system of cars is an essential component that is responsible for powering everything from the lights and radio to the engine and transmission. It is a complex network of wires, batteries, fuses, and other components that work together to provide electricity to various parts of the car.

The history of automotive electrical systems can be traced back to the early days of the automobile when simple electrical systems were used to power things like headlights and horns. Over time, the electrical systems of cars became more complex, with the introduction of features such as electric starters and ignition systems.

Today, the electrical system of cars is more important than ever, as modern vehicles are equipped with a wide range of advanced electronics and safety features. These systems include things like navigation systems, backup cameras, and lane departure warnings, which all require electricity to function.

The main components of a car’s electrical system include the battery, alternator, starter, and fuse box. The battery is responsible for providing the initial power to start the engine, while the alternator generates electricity to keep the battery charged and power the various electrical components of the car.

The starter is responsible for turning the engine over when the ignition is turned on, and the fuse box contains a series of fuses that protect the various electrical components from damage in the event of a power surge or short circuit.

One of the biggest advancements in automotive electrical systems in recent years has been the introduction of hybrid and electric vehicles. These vehicles use advanced batteries and electric motors to power the vehicle, rather than traditional gasoline engines.

As a result, the electrical systems of these vehicles are even more complex, with advanced control systems that monitor the flow of electricity and ensure that the batteries are charged and discharged properly.

Conclusion

The electrical system of cars is an essential component that plays a critical role in powering the various electronic and mechanical systems of a vehicle.

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Auxiliary Battery User Manual

Auxiliary Battery

Do not store anything inside the battery compartment(s) or near the batteries that could touch the battery or battery cable terminals. Contact with the battery or battery cable terminals could cause an electrical short circuit, discharge the batteries, or start an electrical fire.
Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away from the batteries as the hydrogen gas they create may explode. Do not connect a booster battery or other power source that outputs more than 14.2-volts DC to lead acid or AGM batteries. Use adequate ventilation when charging or using batteries in an enclosed space. Remove metal jewelry and always wear eye protection when working around batteries.
Do not allow battery electrolyte (acid) to come into contact with skin, eyes, fabric or painted surfaces. Electrolyte is a sulfuric acid solution that could cause serious personal injury or property damage. If your hands, eyes, clothes or the painted surface of your motor home are exposed to electrolyte, flush the exposed area thoroughly with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, immediately flush them thoroughly with water and get prompt medical attention.

The combined 12-volt DC loads in your recreation vehicle can become more than the power converter is able to produce. This demand can be met by using an auxiliary battery for a limited period of time. The 12-volt system is designed for usage with a Group 27 or 31, deep cycle battery.

Dry camping

The auxiliary battery should be fully charged prior to dry camping. If the auxiliary battery is not being recharged and power is being drawn from it, it will eventually discharge. Plan your electrical usage accordingly. You can test the auxiliary battery voltage using a volt-ohm meter (customer supplied).
A fully charged lead acid or AGM auxiliary battery will read 12.7 volts DC and 1.265 spe-cific gravity at 80°F (32°C). The auxiliary battery is considered discharged at 10.89 volts, and dead at 10.65 volts. If the voltage drops below those levels, irreversible damage can occur. Typically, a deep cycle battery has an amp-hour rating of 75-100 amps.
If you run the furnace and refrigerator simultaneously, you will be using approximately (12.0 + 3.0) 15.0 amps per hour. This does not include any 12-volt lights, or any other 12-volt component. If the furnace and refrigerator in this example operated constantly, a 75 amp-hour battery would become fully discharged in 5 hours.
The auxiliary battery should be installed in parallel with the battery in your tow vehicle. When the 7-way trailer plug is connected, both batteries power the RV. Do not allow it to discharge your tow vehicle battery below the level required to start the engine. To prevent this from occurring, disconnect the 7-way trailer plug or install a battery isolator. When the tow vehicle engine is operating with the RV connected, the tow vehicle charging system will charge both batteries.

Replacement and maintenance

Some equipment in your RV will draw small amounts of current even when turned OFF. To prevent the auxiliary battery from being discharged when your RV is not connected to shore line power, disconnect the auxiliary battery negative cable at the battery. During storage, it is important to check the voltage monthly and recharge the auxiliary battery as needed. If you remove the auxiliary battery from your RV, store it in a dry, cool area per the manufacturer’s instructions.
When it is time to replace the auxiliary battery, Group 27 or Group 31 true deep cycle batteries are recommended to increase run time of electrical components while dry camping (operating solely on battery power). Do not reverse the positive and negative battery cables (doing so will blow the reverse polar-ity fuse(s) that protect the power converter).

For more information
Please contact the battery manufacturer for additional information on the auxiliary batteries. Battery Isolator For Your Tow Vehicle (customer supplied)
You may want to consider the installation of a battery isolator on your tow vehicle as a convenience feature: It receives current from the tow vehicle alternator and controls the distribution of energy to both the RV auxiliary battery and the tow vehicle battery. It serves as a check valve to prevent energy from being drawn from your tow vehicle chassis battery (so you can start your tow vehicle engine). Your dealer can assist you with the selection, purchase and installation.

DC to DC Power Converter (customer supplied)

If installing lithium batteries in the recreation vehicle, install a DC to DC power converter between the tow vehicle battery charge line and the trailer lithium battery(s) to prevent lithium battery damage.

Battery Disconnect Switch (if so equipped)

The Battery Disconnect switch is typically located in an enclosed exterior compartment. The style of the disconnect switch may vary per model. This switch does not shut off all power, but only shuts off the 12VDC power to the main 12V fuse panel, and the interior of the vehicle. Batteries can still be trickle charged by the converter, and there will still be power to some devices.

Rotating Dial Disconnect Switch

When this switch is ON, there will be a green area showing a “1” along the top of the switch. To turn the switch OFF, turn it counter-clockwise until you see the red area along the left side of the switch showing a “0” (zero).

Lever Type Disconnect Switch

To operate this switch, turn the lever counter-clockwise to turn off all 12VDC power to the fuse panel in the RV. The lever can be removed and is equipped with a lanyard to keep the key from getting lost.

Load Center

The Load Center contains 12VDC fuses and 120VAC circuit breakers for almost all of the electrical appliances and circuits in the RV. The 120V main breaker may be located in this panel and will turn off all 120-volt power to the RV. Load center location, appearance and configuration may vary by model. Refer to the diagram inside the load center for specific fuse assignments. Motor homes may have separate small panels for breakers and fuses. They are normally located in close proximity to each other type in the bed platform. The converter is mounted separately, typically under the bed platform.

120-Volt Circuit Breakers

The 120-volt AC circuit breakers located inside the load center protect all 120-volt wiring and components from circuit overloads and short circuits. Should a circuit overload or short circuit occur the circuit breaker protecting the affected circuit will “trip” preventing the flow of electricity through that circuit.
If a circuit breaker trips, shut off the appliance on that circuit (i.e., power converter, etc.) and allow the circuit breaker to cool down for a brief period of time. After it cools down, reset the circuit breaker by moving its lever “off” and then back to the “on” position. If the circuit breaker re-trips or frequently trips, contact your dealer to have the electrical problem diagnosed and repaired. A circuit breaker identification label is permanently attached to the inside surface of the 120-volt Load Center.

CAUTION
Circuit breakers and fuses will not offer complete protection of the electrical system in the event of power surge or voltage spike.

Replacement
Only replace circuit breakers with those of the same specified type, voltage, and current rating. Never replace a circuit breaker with one listed at a higher amperage rating. Please contact your dealer for repair assistance when replacing circuit breakers.

WARNING
Replacement circuit breakers must be of the same voltage, amperage rating and type. Never use a higher rated replacement circuit breaker; doing so may cause a fire by overheating the RV wiring.

Maintenance
At the beginning of the camping season, inspect the circuit breakers and replace as needed. Test by turning each circuit breaker “off” and back “on”. Circuit breakers are wearable parts and must be replaced as needed as part of your RV maintenance. If you have any questions, contact your dealer. A label is provided to explain the function of every 120-volt circuit breaker. This label is located on or near the appropriate load center or sub-panel and must remain permanently affixed to the recreation vehicle.

2023 Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels Power Converter Instruction

The power converter in the 2023 Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels is an important part of modern RV living. It combines ease of use and functionality in a way that makes it an efficient and reliable way to handle power. The power converter was made to connect external AC power sources to the internal DC electrical system. It acts as a key link, allowing 120V AC power from shore lines or generators to be changed into the needed 12V DC power. This converted energy is important not only for charging the batteries on board, but also for providing the current needed to power the RV’s DC appliances, lights, and entertainment systems. As a key part of the RV’s electrical system, the power converter shows Jayco’s commitment to improving the camping experience as a whole by making sure there is a steady supply of power and letting travelers enjoy all the comforts and conveniences of home while on the road. With its smart design and reliable operation, the power converter is an important ally that allows travelers to set out on their journeys with the peace of mind that their mobile home is well-equipped and running well.

Power Converter

The power converter converts 120-volt AC power to usable 12-volt DC power when the shore power cord is connected to an external power source.
The converter has a built-in protective thermal breaker that will shut it down should overheating occur. Overheating can be caused by operating the converter above its maximum power output for an extended period of time, or by an obstruction to its ventilation airflow. To reduce converter heat build keep unnecessary 12-volt lights and motors turned off. Keep the converter cooling fins and fan clear of obstructions.

USE ONLY A DEEP-CYCLE BATTERY FOR RV USE. Car batteries (CCA rating) are not designed for RV applications.
If using multiple batteries they must be the same brand and type. Adding more batteries will provide longer use of DC appliances when not on shore power but may reduce charging efficiency.
The battery works in conjunction with the converter to supply DC power to the RV. A battery is typically only necessary if you do a lot of dry camping or have slide-outs and/or a leveling system.
A reverse polarity fuse provides protection for the converter when a battery is used. If the battery is connected back to the fuse board this fuse would blow pre-venting damage to the converter.
Dimming or flickering lights usually indicates an overloaded converter. Remove some of the load by turning off DC lights or appliances.
Fan is controlled by load. It will begin running at 3 to 6 amp DC draw. It increases in speed with a higher load until 14 to 15 amps. The fan is at maximum speed and stays there even with more load. If the load drops below 6 amps DC, the fan shuts off.

CAUTION

It is important that the fluid level of any connected batteries be checked on a regular basis. All batteries will “gas” and lose some fluid when continuously connected to any charging source (does not apply to “gel-cell” batteries). Before checking for converter output voltage, the battery cables must be disconnected at the battery. Make sure the converter is plugged into an AC source (105-132 AC volts). Check the converter output voltage at the battery with a voltmeter. Place the voltmeter probes on the disconnected battery cables. If the voltage reads 13.6VDC with no load, the converter is functioning properly. If the converter output voltage at the battery reads in the 0.0VDC range, or the battery is not charging, check for:

An open inline fuse in the battery wire
An open wire between the converter and the RV battery
Loose ground connection
Improper torques

If the converter fuses and AC voltage are good, but the converter output still reads zero volts, the converter is not functioning properly.

Modes of Operation

Absorption (Normal) Mode: 13.6VDC range. Batteries are being charged, just at a slower rate. The converter will not work without AC input.
Float Trickle Mode: To get your converter into this mode, reduce the load on the system to almost nothing but the battery. Let the system sit for approximately 44 hours.
The converter voltage will drop to 13.2VDC. If the converter sees any load during this period or after it is in Float Mode it will revert back to Absorption (Normal) Mode. 13.6VDC.
Bulk Mode: The converter will not jump into the Bulk Mode unless the battery is below 50% of charge, or approximately below 13.2VDC output voltage. There is no way to force it to go into Bulk Mode. Red LED indicates a blown fuse.

Inspection and maintenance

If the 12-volt power converter is not working (auxiliary battery not being charged) check the reverse polarity fuse(s) located on the end of the converter.
There are no customer-serviceable parts inside the converter case and the manufacturer’s warranty will be void if the case has been removed. If you have further concerns contact your dealer. For detailed safety and operating information, refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual.

Converter w/Charge Wizard (if so equipped)
Some converters may be equipped with a charge wizard There are (3) possible charging modes; NORMAL, BOOST, and STORAGE. The charge wizard will automatically select the best mode to charge your battery. A green LED next to the wizard mode button will indicate by flashes, which mode is currently being used.
Normal Mode: Green LED flashes once per second; battery is between 50% and 90% charged. flashes 2-3 times per second; the battery is 90% charged. Output voltage is 13.6VDC and the converter is safely completing the charge of the battery.
Boost Mode: Green LED is on solid. The output voltage is 14.4VDC to rapidly charge the battery up to 90% of full charge.
Storage Mode: Green LED flashes every 6-8 seconds. The output voltage has been reduced to 13.2VDC; the RV battery is fully charged and converter is maintaining the charge.
Manual Mode (not recommended): The manual mode button is used to override the charge wizard. Refer to the converter owner’s manual for additional information.

Reverse Battery Protection:

Reverse polarity fuse(s) provide protection for the converter when a battery is used. If the battery is connected backwards to the fuse board a fuse will blow preventing damage to the converter. Four easily accessible fuses are located next to the wizard button. Replace with fuses of the same type and rating.
12-Volt DC System. The majority of your recreation vehicle lighting is powered by 12-volt electricity. The 12-volt DC system is composed of components that will operate when the following conditions are met:

Power is supplied by the tow vehicle alternator when the engine is running and the
7- way the trailer plug is connected. This powers the RV’s running lights, brake lights, turn signals and brakes. In addition, the 7-way trailer plug provides a common ground and a 12-volt charge line to charge the auxiliary battery.
The converter will supply interior 12-volt DC power when the power cord is plugged into campground power. The converter will also charge the RV battery in most situations. (Refer to Battery Disconnect)
The auxiliary battery powers many interior 12-volt components including the lighting fixtures, water pump, 12-volt motors, 12-volt appliances, etc. It also powers the breakaway switch.

12-Volt Fuse Panel

WARNING
Replacement fuses must be of the same voltage, amperage rating, and type. Never use a higher-rated replacement fuse; doing so may cause a fire by overheating the RV wiring.

The 12-volt fuse panel is labeled to indicate fuse sizes, positions, and the components powered. Fuses are located in the load center.

Replacing a Fuse
Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical components protected by it.

Disconnect the shore power cord.
Turn “off” the inverter (if so equipped).
Disconnect the house or auxiliary batteries main negative battery cable.
Remove the fuse panel cover to check fuses.
Pull the fuse straight out of the fuse block.
Insert a new fuse of the same specified voltage, amperage rating and type in the original location.

The fuse panel label should be kept permanently affixed to your recreation vehicle. Fuses will not offer complete protection of the electrical system in the event of a power surge or spike.

12-Volt DC Outlet

There may be one or more 12-volt DC power outlets in your recreation vehicle. When the 12-volt DC outlet is used as a power source for an electric appliance, make sure the appliance operates on 12-volt DC power and that it consumes less than 60 watts (5 amps) of power.

WARNING
Keep the protective dust cap on the 12-volt DC outlet when not in use to prevent ingestion of foreign material and potentially short circuit conditions.

Testing The Campsite Power Connection

The campsite 120-volt power receptacle(s) should always be tested for proper functionality prior to plugging the recreation vehicle shore power cord into it.
Campsite 120-volt power receptacles can be tested using a digital multimeter or a dedicated circuit analyzer. Dedicated circuit analyzers plug directly into the campsite power receptacle and minimally test for open neutral, open ground, and correct polarity.

WARNING
Do not hook up the power cord to any receptacle until you have verified proper polarity and grounding.

DO NOT plug the shore power cord into a campsite receptacle(s):

That has reverse polarity
With non-functioning ground circuits
That shows outward signs of heat damage.
Doing so may result in property damage or serious injury. Plugging the shore power cord into an incorrectly wired power source could damage the recreation vehicle’s electrical system and result in severe or fatal injury. Damage or injury resulting from connection to malfunctioning or improperly wired power sources is not covered by your recreation vehicle warranty.

DO NOT

Do not use any cheater plug, adapter, or extension cord to reconfigure incoming AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to the grounding pin.
Do not connect the power cord to an outlet that is not grounded, or adapt the power cord plug to connect it to a receptacle for which it is not designed.
Do not remove the grounding pin to connect to a non-grounded receptacle. Removal of the ground pin disables an important safety feature designed to prevent shock and electrocution hazards.
Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord. Use of an improper extension cord will cause overheating of the cord as well as potentially causing premature failure of the AC equipment.
The power cord must be fully extended when in use and not left coiled in the electrical compartment or on the ground. A power cord left coiled may potentially create enough heat to melt its protective casing.

It is the responsibility of the owner of the electrical receptacle to ensure that the receptacle is properly wired and grounded. Reverse polarity and/or im-proper grounding of your RV can cause property damage or serious personal injury.

Connecting the Power Cord

Always test the external power source (i.e., the campsite power receptacle or electrical box) with a ground monitor before connecting your power cord to it. If the ground monitor indi-cates ‘reverse polarity’ or an ‘open ground’ DO NOT connect the power cord. To help prevent power surges from damaging the connected loads, please follow these instructions when hooking up to the external power source:

Turn off the load center main 120-volt circuit breaker.
Carefully extend the entire length of the power cord (approximately 25’-35’) from the electric cable hatch to the external power source.
Plug the power cord into the receptacle. Be sure all the power cord prongs are properly plugged into the receptacle.
Return to your RV and turn on the load center main circuit breaker.
The shore power cord should be unplugged when the recreation vehicle is left unattended.

Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)

Depending on your model, you may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). The TPMS system is monitored by and sensors paired to the system through the touchscreen. The TPMS System comes with sensors that screw on to the valve stem of each tire. There will be a maximum of (6) sensors (for triple axle) and (4) sensors (for the dual axle). The sensors are programmed according to their tire position on the trailer, and not to each individual tire.
Rotating the tires:

WARNING
FAILURE TO ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH!

The TPMS system is designed to monitor tire pressure and temperature. It is not designed to provide warning of sudden critical tire damage and blowout caused by external effects. The driver should react promptly to any warning and correct the problem.

Tires can fail for other reasons besides low pressure, high temperature or overloading. Always be on the alert for other tire problems as indicated by unusual noises, vibrations, uneven tread wear, or bulges on the tires. If any of these symptoms occur, have the tires inspected immediately by a tire professional.

CAUTION

TPMS sensors – DO NOT MOVE WITH THE TIRES!
The TPMS sensor on the front tire (on either side of the trailer) STAYS at the front tire position when rotating tires.
The TPMS sensor on the middle tire (on either side of a 3 axle trailer) STAYS at the middle tire position when rotating tires.
The TPMS sensor on the rear tire (on either side of the trailer) STAYS at the rear tire position when rotating tires (on both dual and triple axle trailers).
This guarantees tire pressures displayed on the touchscreen are accurate-ly showing the correct tire locations on the trailer.

Heating Cooling operation

There are no thermostats located in the RV. Heating and cooling is controlled through the BMPRO RVMaster touchscreen Climate screen. One or more small sensors are located on the walls of the RV. These sensors work with the touchscreen to monitor the temperature in an area of the RV and adjust according to climate settings on the touchscreen.

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Solar Package User Manual

Solar Package

CAUTION
If expanding upon OEM installed solar package, ensure all components are compatible with an existing product. Any additional equipment will reduce Car-go Carrying Capacity (CCC) when installed. Your recreational vehicle may be equipped with a factory-installed solar panel kit that includes lithium batteries, a DC/DC power converter (allows charging from the tow vehicle connection.), Solar Panels, and an energy management control system. For care and operation, please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions provided with your RV. Never connect your tow vehicle harness to a recreation vehicle equipped with a lithium battery without a DC/DC power converter installed. Direct tow vehicle charging may cause permanent damage to the lithium battery unless the vehicle charge line is properly voltage regulated or disconnected.

Adding solar panels or equipment will affect the carrying capacity of your recreation vehicle. Vehicle weight ratings should be considered before adding these components. Your recreation vehicle may be wired with a (exterior) plug-in that will allow the batteries to be trickle charged using a free-standing solar panel. In most models, the solar panel kit is a customer-purchased and installed option. The solar plug location will vary by model, but may be located on the exterior sidewall, on the A-frame of the RV, in the outside utility center, or mounted up on the roof. There are capped-off wires located in the area of the battery. These wires are the battery charging wires. Once these wires are properly connected to your battery, you will then be able to plug the solar panel into the charging port.

Solar System

When the system is connected properly, the solar panel will supply power to the battery, the battery will supply power to the converter, and the converter will supply power to all the 12V systems as needed.

Replacing Lighting

Replacement lighting must be the same type, voltage, and wattage listed on the lamp fixture. Use of incorrectly sized replacements can overload lamp circuits and may create a fire hazard by overheating the fixture.

Exhaust Gas Fumes

WARNING

Avoid inhaling exhaust gases as they contain carbon monoxide, which is a potentially toxic gas that is colorless and odorless.
If you are in a recreation vehicle with either a nearby tow vehicle engine running or the generator (if so equipped) running there is a potential for exhaust fumes to filter back into the recreation vehicle.

To avoid breathing exhaust gases, follow these precautions:

Always shut OFF the tow vehicle engine, generator engine (if applicable), etc., while refueling.
Do not run the tow vehicle engine, generator engine (if applicable), etc., in confined areas, such as a closed garage, any longer than needed to move your RV in or out of the area.
Windows should be closed while driving or running the generator (if so equipped) to avoid drawing dangerous exhaust gases into the RV.
If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the RV have the cause determined and corrected as soon as possible.

The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the RV is a properly maintained ventilation system and an active carbon monoxide detector. To allow for proper operation of the RV ventilation system, keep the ventilation inlet grill(s) clear of snow, leaves, or other obstructions at all times.
See the Occupant Safety section of this manual for additional information on carbon monoxide safety.

Propane Gas System

Propane or LP (liquefied petroleum) gas is an efficient form of energy when proper handling and safety precautions are observed. The propane system in your furnishes the fuel for cooking, heating, and hot water and can be an alternative energy source for refrigeration. Propane is heavier than air; and tends to flow to lower areas and will sometimes pocket in these low areas, such as the floor. Your recreation vehicle is equipped with a propane alarm (refer to the Safety Precaution section, Combination Carbon Monoxide (CO)/Propane Alarm).

WARNING
Propane cylinders should not be placed or stored inside RV. LP-gas cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve pressure by discharging gas into the atmosphere.

The propane fuel system is comprised of numerous components such as the propane container, hoses, the propane gas regulator, piping and copper tubing to each appliance. Although your recreation vehicle has been carefully tested at the factory, and by your selling dealer for leakage, travel vibrations can loosen fittings. Have the propane system checked at all connections soon after the purchase of your recreation vehicle, and after the initial filling of the propane tanks. Continued periodic checks of the propane system at 5,000 miles of travel (or at least once a year), by a qualified propane service representative as part of your normal maintenance is recommended. Hand-tighten the LP gas system valves only, do not use a wrench or pliers as over-tightening may damage the valve seals and cause them to leak.

NOTE:
All propane lines have been checked with air pressure at the time of manufacture. Dealers are required to recheck and adjust pressure before retail delivery.

120-Volt 30-amp AC Electric System (if so equipped)

The 30-amp 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system is designed to operate on 1 leg of 120-volt power at a maximum current flow of 30-amperes. Exposure to voltages higher or lower than a nominal 120-volts will damage or shorten the service life of the electrical system and appliances. The 30-amp 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system can be powered by the 120-volt 60hz utilities found in campgrounds or by 120-volt 60hz generator power. The following electrical components will only operate when your recreation vehicle is connected to shore or generator power: 120 to 12-volt power converter, air conditioner, refrigerator, microwave oven, television(s), home theater system(s), electric water heater, washer, dryer, fireplace, and appliances plugged into convenience receptacles.

CAUTION

Make certain the external power source you connect the power cord to is a properly wired 30-amp NEMA TT-30 RV receptacle and not 240-volt AC. PLUG INTO 30-AMP SERVICE ONLY.
Circuit breakers and fuses will not offer complete protection of the electrical system in the event of power surge or voltage spike.

30-amp Power Cord

WARNING

Do not hook up the power cord to any receptacle until you have verified proper polarity and grounding. Polarity indicators can be purchased in most electrical and hardware stores.
Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reconfigure incoming AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to the grounding pin.
Do not connect the power cord into an outlet that is not grounded, or adapt the power cord plug to connect it to a receptacle for which it is not designed.
Do not remove the grounding pin to connect to a non-grounded receptacle. Removal of the ground pin disables an important safety feature designed to prevent shock and electrocution hazards.
Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord. Use of an improper extension cord will cause overheating of the cord as well as potentially causing premature failure of the AC equipment.

It is the responsibility of the owner of the electrical receptacle to ensure that the receptacle is properly wired and grounded. Reverse polarity and/or improper grounding of your recreation vehicle can cause personal injury or death. The 30-amp external utility power cord is commonly referred to as the “shore” power cord. It is designed to mate and properly function with 30-amp “shore” power receptacles avail-able at most campgrounds. The shore power cord is designed to continuously carry the 30-amp current flow required to power each leg of the electrical system. It also creates a critical ground connection between the vehicle electrical system and the campground shore power receptacle. The shore power cord is designed to continuously carry the 50-amp current flow required to power each leg of the electrical system. It also creates a critical ground connection between the vehicle electrical system and the campground shore power receptacle.
Always test the external power source (i.e., the campsite power receptacle or electrical box) with a ground monitor before connecting your power cord to it. If the ground monitor indicates ‘reverse polarity’ or an ‘open ground’. DO NOT connect the power cord. Regularly inspect the shore power cord for cuts, cracks, worn insulation and other damage. Have the power cord replaced immediately if problems exist.

Calculating 50-amp Electrical Load

When connecting appliances to the electrical system, 120-volt power usage is limited to 50 amps per electrical system leg for a total of 100-amps. Operating appliances collectively places an added load on your 120-volt electrical system.
A circuit breaker “trip” may occur if you overload the recreation vehicle and/or campground electrical system. The amperage rating of individual appliances can be calculated by di-viding appliance wattage consumed (normally listed on the appliance) by nominal design voltage (120 for a 120-volt appliance). For example: 1200 watts divided by 120-volts equals 10 amps.

120-Volt 50 AMP AC Electric System (if so equipped)

The 50 AMP 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system can be powered by an outside 120/240-volt 60hz utility service like those commonly found in campgrounds or by 120/240-volt 60hz generator power. The entire system is designed to operate on 2 legs of 120-volt power at a maximum current flow of 50 amperes per leg.
Exposure to voltages higher or lower than a nominal 120-volts, will damage or shorten the service life of the electrical system and appliances. The 50 AMP 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system can be powered by an outside 120/240-volt 60hz utility service like those commonly found in campgrounds or by 120/240-volt 60hz generator power. The following electrical components will only operate when connected to 120-volt power: air conditioner(s), refrigerator, microwave oven, television(s), home theater system(s), water heater, washer, dryer, fireplace, electric stove, and appliances plugged into convenience receptacles. These components will create a surge on the inverter.

WARNING

Circuit breakers and fuses will not offer complete protection of the electrical system in the event of power surge or voltage spike.
Make certain the external power source you connect the power cord to is a properly wired 50 AMP NEMA 14-50 RV receptacle and not 240 volt AC.
PLUG INTO 50 AMP SERVICE ONLY.

WARNING

Do not hook up the power cord to any receptacle until you have verified proper polarity and grounding. Polarity indicators can be purchased in most electrical and hardware stores.
Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reconfigure incoming AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to the grounding pin.
Do not connect the power cord into an outlet that is not grounded, or adapt the power cord plug to connect it to a receptacle for which it is not designed.
Do not remove the grounding pin to connect to a non-grounded receptacle. Removal of the ground pin disables an important safety feature designed to prevent shock and electrocution hazards.
Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord. Use of an improper extension cord will cause overheating of the cord as well as potentially causing premature failure of the AC equipment.

DO NOT connect the power cord.

Regularly inspect the shore power cord for cuts, cracks, worn insulation and other damage. Have the power cord replaced immediately if problems exist.

Jayco Alante 2023 12-Volt Battery Disconnect User Manual

12-Volt Battery Disconnect

The 12-volt battery disconnect switch is typically located near the entrance door. This momentary switch controls a solenoid that connects or disconnects the house batteries. The switch lights up red when turned on.

When engaged the battery disconnect solenoid supplies battery power to all accessories connected to the house 12-volt fuse panel. The solenoid must be engaged for the 12-volt house electrical system to operate. The battery disconnect feature should be used to disconnect the motor home from house battery power during periods of storage or during maintenance.

NOTE:
The combination carbon monoxide/propane alarm is connected to a constant 12-volt power source. The carbon monoxide/propane alarm remains operational when the battery disconnect solenoid switch, or “main power switch,” is in the “OFF” position.

If the Main Power switch is turned OFF, the power entrance door steps will still function when the door is opened. Depending on your model, your motor home will be equipped with either a Battery Isolator Solenoid or a Battery Isolation Manager.

Jayco 2023 Top Accessories

[amalinkspro_table id=”32452″ new-window=”on” nofollow=”on” addtocart=”off” /]

Battery Isolator Solenoid

The isolator solenoid breaks the connection between the house batteries and the chassis battery when the ignition key is in the “OFF” position.
Breaking this connection prevents the discharge of the chassis battery (used to start the engine)

when using 12-volt devices in the house section of your motor home.
When the engine is running the isolator solenoid engages allowing the house batteries to be charged by the vehicle alternator.

Auxiliary Start System

Depending on your model, the Battery Boost switch or the Auxiliary Start button engages the solenoid and joins the house battery with the chassis battery to provide a “boost” to help start the motor home if the chassis battery charge is low. The auxiliary start switch can momentarily connect both the house and chassis batteries should the chassis battery become discharged. To operate, depress either the “Aux. Start” switch (located on the front driver’s dash) or the Battery Boost switch on the driver console and hold it down. While the “Aux. Start” switch or Battery Boost switch is depressed use the ignition key to start the chassis engine. Release the “Aux. Start” switch (or Battery Boost switch) after the engine has started.

Load Center

Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)

Your motor home is equipped with an Automatic Transfer Switch with built-in reverse polarity protection. The ATS is microprocessor controlled and will automatically detect which power source is being used (generator or shore power) and allow power from that connection only. You will not have to plug and unplug the power to the coach if you decide to run the generator. If you plug into shore power, the ATS will pass power to the motor home. If the generator is started, it will override the shore power input (called generator dominant) and supply the RV with electrical power from the generator. When the generator is shut down, shore power is restored. There may be a slight flicker of the lights when the ATS changes over from one to the other, but there is no real interruption of power.

The ATS will disconnect from shore power completely if the power coming in is not high enough quality (i.e. either low/high voltage, or low/high frequency).
When the generator is operating, it powers the inverter/charger which in turn functions as a multi-stage battery charger to charge the house auxiliary and chassis batteries. Refer to and follow the safety information found in the manufacturer’s troubleshooting guide found in your warranty packet.

NOTE:
The generator requires 12-volt power from the house auxiliary batteries to start and draws fuel to operate from the chassis fuel tank. If the fuel level in the chassis fuel tank drops to or below ¼ full, the generator will shut “off” and cannot be re-started until the fuel tank is filled to above ¼ full. Use the prime function to clear air from the fuel lines.

Jayco Alante 2023 Generator User Manual

Generator

Your motor home is equipped with an LP or a fuel-powered generator. The generator produces 120/240-volt power compatible with the motor home electrical system. It can power the entire motor home when 120/240-volt shore power is not available.

Warning
CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY! Do not run the generator when your motor home is indoors or in a confined space.

DO NOT use the AGS AUTO ON or QUIET ON modes (if so equipped) when your motor home is indoors or in a confined space. Asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning hazards exist whenever genera-tor exhaust gasses can accumulate. MOVING PARTS AND ELECTRICITY can cause severe personal injury or death.

Jayco 2023 Top Accessories

[amalinkspro_table id=”32452″ new-window=”on” nofollow=”on” addtocart=”off” /]

To reduce exposure to these hazards, always disable AGS (if so equipped) before:

Sleeping in the vehicle, unless the vehicle has a working CARBON MONOXIDE detector.
Parking vehicle in the garage or confined space.
Parking vehicle for storage.
Servicing vehicle for storage.
Servicing generator.
Servicing batteries.
Servicing appliances or electrical systems.
Fueling the vehicle.

Before Starting the Generator

Make sure the carbon monoxide detector is working.
Turn off air conditioners and all other 120-volt appliances.
Check for fuel, exhaust, and coolant leaks.
STOP the generator immediately if there is a fuel, exhaust or coolant leak. Have all leaks repaired prior to placing the generator back in service.
Caution
Excessive usage can overheat and damage the generator starter motor. Do not engage the starter motor for more than 20 seconds at a time. If the generator does not start after the first attempt, wait at least two minutes before beginning another start sequence. If the generator does not start after a third attempt, refer to the generator owner’s manual for additional information.
Transfer switch
For more information, see the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) section.
NOTE:
The diesel (or gas) generator requires 12-volt power from the house auxiliary batteries to start and draws diesel fuel (or gas) to operate from the chassis fuel tank. If the fuel level in the chassis fuel tank drops to or below 1/4 full, the generator will shut off and cannot be re-started until the fuel tank is filled to above 1/4 full.
Maintenance
During periods of extended storage:
Add a diesel fuel additive to the chassis fuel tank to prevent algae growth (only with a diesel-fueled generator).
Completely fill the chassis diesel fuel tank to prevent water condensation and rust in the tank (only with a diesel-fueled generator).
Cover the end of the generator exhaust pipe with a screen to prevent bug and rodent intrusion.

With the exception of simple items, such as normal maintenance (i.e., oil changes, etc.), all service work should be done by an authorized repair facility. Improper adjustments can damage the generator and electrical appliances and can result in a safety hazard. Follow the generator owner’s manual for maintenance intervals and recommendations.

Exercising Your Generator – When storing the generator for extended periods of time, it is important to run the generator regularly to keep it in good working order. Lack of exercise can cause moisture build-up in the fuel system resulting in poor performance. For more information on generator operation and maintenance, refer to the generator owner’s manual.

Starting the Generator

Your motorhome has manual switches located at the Command Center panel. There are secondary switches located on the dash, in an overhead cabinet, or on the generator itself. An hour meter that keeps track of generator hours used is located near the switch and a separate hour meter on the generator.

To Manually Start the Generator

At either “START/STOP” switch, press and hold the start portion of the switch to start the generator. Depending on the outside temperature the start process can take up to 15 seconds. Once the generator starts running, release the switch.
An LED above the start switch will light when the generator is running.
For better performance and engine life, especially in colder weather, let the generator engine warm up for two minutes before turning “ON” 120-volt appliances.

For more information on generator operation and maintenance, refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual.

Solar Panel

Caution
Adding solar panels or equipment will affect the carrying capacity of your recreation vehicle. Vehicle weight ratings should be considered before adding these components.

Solar panels produce 12-volt DC electricity when exposed to sunlight. The energy produced by the solar panels is used to charge the house auxiliary and chassis batteries.

Controller
The controller is capable of charging two battery banks – house and chassis. A status LED indicates the connectivity of batteries. Battery charging and operating parameters are adjusted using the Firefly Vega touch touchscreen. Refer to the manufacturer’s operation manual in your warranty packet for more detailed information.

Maintenance
Clean the solar panel’s upper surface regularly using a soft cloth or sponge with water and mild detergent. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that might damage the panels’ upper translucent surface. For additional information, refer to the manufacturer’s manuals for the controller and monitor.

Fuel Safety

Danger
Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death if misused or mishandled. If you have further questions, consult your dealer or Customer Service for assistance.

Always shut OFF the vehicle engine while refueling.
Do not bring or store fuel or other flammable liquids inside the motor home as a fire or explosion may result.
Before refueling, extinguish all smoking materials and any open flames.
Before refueling, always turn OFF all spark-producing appliances (i.e., water heaters, furnaces, etc.).
Do not overfill the fuel tank(s). The pressure in an overfilled fuel tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and/or fire.
Fuel spills represent a serious fire hazard, and should be cleaned up immediately.
Never restart an engine or re-light any pilot lights while raw fuel is present.

FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN FIRE, DEATH, OR SERIOUS INJURY.

Fuel Selection
Some generators are fueled by the same system used to fuel the chassis engine. Check the generator manufacturer and the chassis manufacturer information to help determine the type of fuel best suited for this dual application.

Fuel Filler Cap

Warning
Do not replace the fuel fill cap with one of a different type. Only use a cap specified for your motor home. The use of a substitute cap may create excessive fuel system pressure, resulting in fuel station damage and improper operation in a collision.

Remove the fuel fill cap by slowly turning it counterclockwise, waiting for any “hiss” noise to stop, and then unscrew the cap all the way. To close the fuel fill cap, securely turn the cap clockwise until you hear clicking sounds.

Filling the fuel tank

Danger
All pilot lights, appliances, and igniters (see operating instructions) should be turned off before refueling motor fuel tanks. These can cause the ignition of flammable vapors, which can lead to a fire or explosion.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN FIRE, DEATH, OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Use care when fueling your motor home. If you spill fuel on the motor home, clean it up immediately. Fuel can dull or soften paint and damage other surfaces.

Jayco Alante 2023 Power Converter User Manual

Power Converter

USE ONLY A DEEP-CYCLE BATTERY FOR RV USE. Car batteries (CCA rating) are not designed for RV applications.
If using multiple batteries they must be the same brand and type. Adding more batteries will provide longer use of DC appliances when not on shore power but may reduce charging efficiency.
The battery works in conjunction with the converter to supply DC power to the RV. A battery is typically only necessary if you do a lot of dry camping or have slideouts and/or a leveling system.
A reverse polarity fuse provides protection for the converter when a battery is used. If the battery is connected back to the fuse board this fuse would blow preventing damage to the converter.
Dimming or flickering lights usually indicates an overloaded converter. Remove some of the load by turning off DC lights or appliances.
The fan is controlled by load. It will begin running at 3 to 6 amp DC draw. It increases in speed with a higher load until 14 to 15 amps. The fan is at maximum speed and stays there even with more load. If the load drops below 6 amps DC, the fan shuts off.
Jayco 2023 Top Accessories

[amalinkspro_table id=”32452″ new-window=”on” nofollow=”on” addtocart=”off” /]

Caution
It is important that the fluid level of any connected batteries be checked on a regular basis. All batteries will “gas” and lose some fluid when continuously connected to any charging source (this does not apply to “gel-cell” batteries).

Before checking for converter output voltage, the battery cables must be disconnected from the battery. Make sure the converter is plugged into an AC source (105-132 AC volts). Check the converter output voltage at the battery with a voltmeter. Place the voltmeter probes on the disconnected battery cables. If the voltage reads 13.6VDC with no load, the converter is functioning properly.

If the converter output voltage at the battery reads in the 0.0VDC range, or the battery is not charging, check for:

An open inline fuse in the battery wire
An open wire between the converter and the RV battery
Loose ground connection
Improper torques

If the converter fuses and AC voltage are good, but the converter output still reads zero volts, the converter is not functioning properly.

Modes of Operation:

Absorption (Normal) Mode: 13.6VDC range. Batteries are being charged, just at a slower rate. The converter will not work without AC input.
Float Trickle Mode: To get your converter into this mode, reduce the load on the system to almost nothing but the battery. Let the system sit for approximately 44 hours. The converter voltage will drop to 13.2VDC. If the converter sees any load during this period or after it is in Float Mode it will revert back to Absorption (Normal) Mode. 13.6VDC.
Bulk Mode: The converter will not jump into the Bulk Mode unless the battery is below 50% of charge, or approximately below 13.2VDC output voltage. There is no way to force it to go into Bulk Mode. Red LED indicates a blown fuse.

Inspection and maintenance
If the 12-volt power converter is not working (auxiliary battery not being charged) check the reverse polarity fuse(s) located on the end of the converter.
There are no customer-serviceable parts inside the converter case and the manufacturer’s warranty will be void if the case has been removed. If you have further concerns contact your dealer. For detailed safety and operating information, refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual.

Converter w/Charge Wizard (if so equipped)
Some converters may be equipped with a charge wizard There are (3) possible charging modes; NORMAL, BOOST and STORAGE. The charge wizard will automatically select the best mode to charge your battery. A green LED next to the wizard mode button will indicate by flashes, which mode is currently being used.

Normal Mode:
Green LED flashes once per second; the battery is between 50% and 90% charged. Green LED flashes 2-3 times per second; battery is 90% charged. Output voltage is 13.6VDC and the converter is safely completing the charge of the battery.

Boost Mode:
Green LED is on solid. The output voltage is 14.4VDC to rapidly charge the battery up to 90% of full charge.

Storage Mode:
Green LED flashes every 6-8 seconds. The output voltage has been reduced to 13.2VDC; the RV battery is fully charged and converter is maintaining the charge.
Manual Mode (not recommended): The manual mode button is used to override the charge wizard. Refer to the converter owner’s manual for additional information.

Reverse Battery Protection:
Reverse polarity fuse(s) provide protection for the converter when a battery is used. If the battery is connected backwards to the fuse board a fuse will blow preventing damage to the converter. Four easily accessible fuses are located next to the wizard button. Replace with fuses of the same type and rating.

Warning
Do not hook the power cord to any receptacle until you have verified proper polarity and grounding.

DO NOT plug the shore power cord into a campsite receptacle(s):

That has reverse polarity
That has non-functioning ground circuits
That shows outward signs of heat damage.
Doing so may result in property damage or serious injury. Plugging the shore power cord into an incorrectly wired power source could damage the recreation vehicle’s electrical system and result in severe or fatal injury. Damage or injury resulting from connection to malfunctioning or improperly wired power sources is not covered by your recreation vehicle warranty.

DO NOT

Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reconfigure incoming AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to the grounding pin.
Do not connect the power cord into an outlet that is not grounded, or adapt the power cord plug to connect it to a receptacle for which it is not designed.
Do not remove the grounding pin to connect to a non-grounded receptacle. Removal of the ground pin disables an important safety feature designed to prevent shock and electrocution hazards.
Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord. Use of an improper extension cord will cause overheating of the cord as well as potentially causing premature failure of the AC equipment.
The power cord must be fully extended when in use and not left coiled in the electrical compartment or on the ground. A power cord left coiled may potentially create enough heat to melt its protective casing.

Connecting the Power Cord
Always test the external power source (i.e., the campsite power receptacle or electrical box) with a ground monitor before connecting your power cord to it. If the ground monitor indicates ‘reverse polarity’ or an ‘open ground’ DO NOT connect the power cord. To help prevent power surges from damaging the connected loads, please follow these instructions when hooking up to the external power source:

Turn off the load center main 120-volt circuit breaker.
Carefully extend the entire length of the power cord (approximately 25’-35’) from the electric cable hatch to the external power source.
Plug the power cord into the receptacle. Be sure all the power cord prongs are properly plugged into the receptacle.
Return to your RV and turn on the load center main circuit breaker.
The shore power cord should be unplugged when the recreation vehicle is left unattended.

Maintenance
Inspect the power cord for cuts, cracks and worn insulation. Have the power cord replaced immediately if these symptoms are noticed.

Inverter

A factory-installed inverter converts 12-volt DC to useable 120-volt AC and supplies AC power to the appliance plugged into it. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the inverter’s function and operation. The inverter should be “off” when not in use.

NOTE:
The inverter is not intended for use, nor should be used, with any medical device(s). The inverter may, however, be used with some CPAP machines, depending on the CPAP model. Consult your CPAP machine’s instruction manual before use to ensure proper operation.

The inverter has a remote display panel that provide many features:

Status LED Indicators

NOTE:
The remote display operates exactly the same as the display mounted to the inverter.

Electrical System Maintenance

Before working on the electrical system:

Make sure the inverter/charger (if so equipped) is turned “off” before disconnecting the batteries. Disconnect the shore power cord.
If equipped with a generator, turn off the generator and disable the automatic generator start functionality.
Turn off the battery disconnect switch (if so equipped).
Turn off the 120V main circuit breaker.
Disconnect the negative 12VDC battery terminal from the battery.

Warning
Use caution when using metal tools. If a tool contacts a battery terminal or metal connected to it, a short circuit could occur which could cause personal injury, explosion, or fire.

Command Center

The command center is typically located inside the entrance door or in the living area of the RV and contains switches and controls. Command center applications, configurations, and components may vary by model.

Command Center Panel or Command Center Panel with Switch Modules
Items found on these panels may include:

Fuel gauge and hour meter with switches for the fuel pump and fuel levels; fuel station (if so equipped) on/off switch
Lighted red pump and water heater switches (electric and LP gas)
Generator start/stop switch; may include an hour meter
Tank heater switches Light switches for porch lights, exterior security lights, interior lights, awning LED lights, front cap LED accent lights, and power entry step.
Cargo bed red lighted control switch
Slideout control switches (press and hold to extend/retract)

Awning control switches (press and hold to extend /retract)
Systems Monitor with LED indicators for tank levels and battery charge status
Auto leveling control panel (for leveling the RV)
Inverter panel (power switch with display)
Power bunk bed lift control switch
Speaker selector switch

Touch Dimmer Switch
Some models may include a touch dimmer switch next to the Command Center panel.

Turn the ceiling lights ON or OFF: Tap the LED light on the dimmer.
Dimmer: If lights are off, press on the LED light and lights will begin turning on gradually until fully lit. If lights are on, press on the LED light, and lights gradually begin to turn off.

The dimmer has a memory and remembers what light setting was last used. When turned ON again, the lights return to that setting.

NOTE:
If your RV model includes the 5-way/8-way remote control, the LIGHT button on the remote only controls the awning LED lights.

Energy Management System 30A

Key features of the Power Control System include:

Limits total current to 30 Amps.
Minimizes circuit breaker tripping.
Monitors current draw for the entire RV including loads added by the owner.
Learns controlled appliance current draw.
Allows (2) air conditioners to run on 30 Amp service when other appliances are not in use. The panel has built-in relays to control (2) air conditioners.

Operation
This system monitors incoming power and has the ability to turn off a few select loads. It can manage incoming power and avoid tripping the shore circuit breaker.
30A Service would be the normal setting displayed on the digital readout. By pressing the SELECT button you can toggle from 30A to 20A to 15A. When the RV is plugged into a 15 Amp or 20 Amp power supply (i.e. at your home), you would change the display to the 20A or 15A Service setting. The system then attempts to keep the total coach 120VAC current draw under that threshold to prevent tripping your home circuit breaker. It does this by removing power for certain appliances. The status window will illuminate each of the appliances it controls. By using the scroll button you can view the appliances the system controls:

Water Heater
Refrigerator
Rear AC
Front AC

The device name will display either SHED or POWERED next to it depending on the total amperage available to the coach and whether or not the device is capable of being operated under the existing load. If a device is showing SHED, it has been disabled and cannot be used.

NOTE:
The order of the devices above is referred to as the “shedding” order. If the load exceeds the service amperage on the display, the system goes down this list sequentially and sheds appliances in that order until the system has reduced amperage below the service amperage shown on the display.

For additional information, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.

Jayco Alante 2023 12-volt DC System User Manual

12-volt DC System

Your motor home lighting is powered by 12-volt electricity. The 12-volt DC system is composed of components that will operate when the following conditions are met:

The house batteries power all interior 12-volt components including the lighting fixtures, water pump, 12-volt motors, 12-volt appliances, etc. when the motor home is not connected to a 120-volt power source.
12-volt DC power is supplied when the shore power cord is plugged into a 120-volt external power source. House batteries will be charged also in most situations.
Power is supplied by the chassis alternator when the chassis engine is running.
Jayco 2023 Top Accessories

[amalinkspro_table id=”32452″ new-window=”on” nofollow=”on” addtocart=”off” /]

12-Volt Fuse Panel

Warning
Replacement fuses must be of the same voltage, amperage rating, and type. Never use a higher-rated replacement fuse; doing so may cause a fire by overheating the RV wiring.

The 12-volt fuse panel is labeled to indicate fuse sizes, positions, and the components powered. Fuses are located in the load center.

Replacing a Fuse
Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical components protected by it.

Disconnect the shore power cord.
Inverter should be OFF.
Remove the fuse panel cover to check the fuses.
Pull the fuse straight out of the fuse block.
Insert a new fuse of the same specified voltage, and amperage rating and type in the original location.

The fuse panel label should be kept permanently affixed to your recreation vehicle. Fuses will not offer complete protection of the electrical system in the event of a power surge or spike.

12-Volt DC Outlet
There may be one or more 12-volt DC power outlets in your recreation vehicle. When the 12-volt DC outlet is used as a power source for an electric appliance, make sure the appliance operates on 12-volt DC power and that it consumes less than 60 watts (5 amps) of power.

Warning
Keep the protective dust cap on the 12-volt DC outlet when not in use to prevent ingestion of foreign material and potentially short-circuit conditions.

Warning

Do not store anything inside the battery compartment(s) or near the batteries that could touch the battery or battery cable terminals. Contact with the battery or battery cable terminals could cause an electrical short circuit, discharge the batteries, or start an electrical fire.
Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from the batteries as the hydrogen gas they create may explode. Do not connect a booster battery or other power source that outputs more than 14.2-volts DC to the motor home batteries. Use adequate ventilation when charging or using batteries in an enclosed space.
Remove metal jewelry and always wear eye protection when working around batteries.
Do not allow battery electrolyte (acid) to come into contact with skin, eyes, fabric, or painted surfaces. The electrolyte is a sulfuric acid solution that could cause serious personal injury or property damage. If your hands, eyes, clothes, or the painted surface of your motor home are exposed to electrolytes, flush the exposed area thoroughly with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, immediately flush them thoroughly with water and get prompt medical attention.
Make sure the inverter/charger is turned “off” before disconnecting the negative battery cable from the battery bank. Keep the batteries out of the reach of children.

House Batteries
Unless a battery has been fully discharged, house auxiliary batteries are normally charged in one of two ways:

When the power cord is plugged into 120-volt shore power, or when the generator is operational, the inverter/charger functions as a battery charger and will automatically charge the house batteries when required.
The chassis alternator charging system supplies power to the house auxiliary batteries when the engine is running and the chassis batteries are sufficiently charged.

A fully charged battery will read 12.65 volts DC with a specific gravity of 1.265 at 80°F (32°C). A battery is considered discharged at 11.89 DC volts or when it has a specific gravity of 1.120 or less. When the voltage drops to 11.89 volts, irreversible battery damage can occur.

Dry Camping
House auxiliary and chassis batteries should be fully charged prior to dry camping. When disconnected from 120-volt shore or generator power (i.e., while dry camping or tailgating) all electrically operated appliances and accessories must be used sparingly. Typically, a deep cycle battery has an amp-hour rating of 75-100 amps. During this period these appliances and accessories are being powered by the house auxiliary batteries directly, and/or indirectly through the inverter/charger. If excessive amounts of power are drawn from the house auxiliary batteries, they will become deeply discharged. Permanent battery damage will occur after repeated deep discharge cycles.

Battery Inspection and Care
Check the level of electrolytes in each battery cell once a year. Add distilled water as needed to reach the split-level marker on each battery. Keep batteries and battery terminals clean and tight. Check the external condition of the batteries periodically. Look for cracks in the cover and case. Make sure battery vent caps are tight and replace them if they are cracked or broken.

Battery Storage Instructions
To prevent house auxiliary battery discharge when your motor home will not be connected to shore power for extended periods of time, it is recommended you turn “off” the 12-volt battery disconnect switch, or “main power switch,” and disconnect each battery bank at the negative battery cable running to the chassis frame.
During storage, it is important to check battery voltage at least every two weeks and to recharge them as needed. If you remove the batteries from your motor home protect them from accidental shorting and keep them in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.

Battery Replacement
If house auxiliary batteries need to be replaced, only deep cycle batteries of the same size and type should be installed. Do not reverse the positive and negative battery cables. Doing so will blow the reverse polarity fuses that protect the power converter.

For more information
Contact the battery manufacturer for more information on the house auxiliary batteries. Refer to your Chassis Guide for information pertaining to the chassis batteries.

Headlamp Aiming

Front Headlamp Aiming
The headlamp aim has been preset and should need no further adjustment. If the vehicle is damaged in a crash, the headlamp aim may be affected. If an adjustment to the headlamps is necessary, see your dealer.

Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement bulbs, or any bulb changing procedure not listed in this section, contact your dealer.

Caution
Do not replace incandescent bulbs with aftermarket LED replacement bulbs. This can cause damage to the vehicle’s electrical system.

Halogen Bulbs
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and can burst if you drop or scratch the bulb. You or others could be injured. Be sure to read and follow the instructions on the bulb package.

High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting
The High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting system operates at a very high voltage. If you try to service any of the system components, you could be seriously injured. Have your dealer or a qualified technician service them. After an HID headlamp bulb has been replaced, the beam might be a slightly different shade than it was originally. This is normal.

LED Lighting
This vehicle has several LED lamps. For replacement of any LED lighting assembly, contact your dealer.

Front Turn Signal Lamps Uplevel
See your dealer for turn signal replacement.

Base level
To replace one of these lamps:

Open the hood.
If your vehicle is equipped with a beauty cover, remove the beauty cover to get access to the bulb.
Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise to remove it from the headlamp assembly.
Unplug the electrical connector from the bulb by releasing the clip on the connector.
Replace the bulb and reverse Steps 1–4 to reinstall.

Electrical System

Electrical System Overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit breakers to protect against an electrical system overload. When the current electrical load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the current load returns to normal or the problem is fixed. This greatly reduces the chance of circuit overload and fire caused by electrical problems. Fuses and circuit breakers protect power devices in the vehicle. If there is a problem on the road and a fuse needs to be replaced, the same amperage fuse can be borrowed. Choose some feature of the vehicle that is not needed to use and replace it as soon as possible. To check a fuse, look at the band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a bad fuse with a fuse of identical size and rating.

Replacing a Blown Fuse

Turn off the vehicle.
Locate the fuse puller in the engine compartment fuse block.
Use the fuse puller to remove the fuse from the top or side, as shown above.
If the fuse must be replaced immediately, borrow a replacement fuse with the same amperage from the fuse block. Choose a vehicle feature that is not needed to safely operate the vehicle. Repeat Steps 2-3.
Insert the replacement fuse into the empty slot of the blown fuse.

At the next opportunity, see your dealer to replace the blown fuse.

Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause the lamps o go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. Have the headlamp wiring checked right away if the lamps go on and off or remain off.

Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to heavy snow or ice, the windshield wipers will stop until the motor cools and will then restart. Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to heavy snow or ice may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and heavy snow from the windshield before using the windshield wipers. If the overload is caused by an electrical problem and not snow or ice, be sure to get it fixed.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of damage caused by electrical problems.

Danger
Fuses and circuit breakers are marked with their ampere rating. Do not exceed the specified amperage rating when replacing fuses and circuit breakers. Use of an oversized fuse or circuit breaker can result in a vehicle fire. You and others could be seriously injured or killed.

Warning
Installation or use of fuses that do not meet GM’s original fuse specifications is dangerous. The fuses could fail, and result in a fire. You or others could be injured or killed, and the vehicle could be damaged. See Accessories and Modifications 0 262 and General Information 0 262. To check or replace a blown fuse, see Electrical System Overload 0 283.

Engine Compartment Fuse Block
The underhood fuse block is in the engine compartment, on the driver’s side of the vehicle.

Caution
Do not pull the engine compartment fuse block lever, since it is intended only for service purposes. If pulled, vehicle malfunction may occur.
