Connecting to an Outside Power Source
30 amp services are a 120-volt limited to a total draw of 30 amps. The power
cord from the RV is three pronged. 30-amp service is the most common in
the RV industry and used widely in campgrounds through the U.S. Even
though any appliance in the RV can operate by itself, due to the 30 amp
limitations, you may not be able to run certain groups of appliances at the
same time (especially starting them at the same time). For instance, most air
conditioners will draw up to 16 amps at start up and then run continuously
around 11 amps. A microwave or convection oven may pull as little as 11
amps or as much as 18. Doing both simultaneously may overload the circuit,
causing a breaker to blow.
(See chart below for typical amperage draw on common appliances)
A 30 Amp shoreline power cord is provided to attach the Oliver to a
grounded power source. The electric utility service connection is located on
the driver’s side of the Oliver near the front. The 25 foot power cord is
stored inside the unit.
NEVER use a two-wire extension cord or a cheater adapter with the ground
pin removed or put a lower amperage plug on your power cord in place of
the molded plug.
12-Volt Battery
The heart of the 12 Volt System is the battery. Batteries are essentially
storage devices for electrical energy. Most batteries used in RV’s are
RV/Marine Deep Cycle, Lead-Acid types. These batteries contain lead plates
and liquid sulfuric acid electrolytes in sections called cells.
Battery Storage Tray
The battery is located inside a custom enclosed slide-out battery storage tray
at the center of the trailer on the driver’s side. It is designed to smoothly
move one to four batteries, making service or replacement a breeze. It is
accessed through a drop down service door.
NOTE: Differing loads affect the ampere-hour rating of a battery. In normal
use, loads vary in both amperage and the length of time they are applied, so
these figures should be considered a guide rather than an accurate
representation. Ampere-hour ratings vary depending on the size of battery
