The motorhome living area electrical system is designed for
convenience. It is capable of supplying the vehicle with at least
two sources of power: 12 volt DC power and 110-120 volt AC
power.
The 12 volt coach batteries supply power to the interior
components (except the roof air conditioner and fridge while set
on AC ) for short-term use. The 12 volt or DC power supplies
an AC 110-120 volt current to the interior plug outlets, the
entertainment center, the microwave and induction cooktop
through the 2000 watt Pure-sine wave inverter.
The auxiliary coach battery bank is charged when the chassis
engine is running and the charge line disconnect switch is in
the ON position, or when you are connected to a 110-120 volt
power source (shore power or generator). Your vehicle may also
be equipped with solar panels. These solar panels will charge the
coach batteries if the charge line disconnect is in the ON position.
For long term use, your vehicle may be powered by plugging into
a 110-120 volt external power source with the supplied 30 foot
power cable. The 30 foot power cable supplied with your coach
must be connected and locked to your coach and then to a 110-
120 volt power source (a 30 amp outlet is recommended). This
will supply 110-120 volt power throughout the interior and supply
power through the inverter/charger to all 12 volt components. Do
not run the air conditioner unless you are plugged into a minimum
20 amp power source.
Your motorhome is equipped with a Pure-sine wave 2000 watt
Xantrex Freedom XC Inverter/Charger. The charging portion of
the Freedom XC is set to LFP to charge the lithium ion phosphate
batteries.
The Pure-sine wave inverter/charger takes the 12 volt or DC
power from your batteries and inverts it up to 110-120 volt AC
power. The inverter will enable you to use your 110-120 volt plug
outlets, entertainment center, microwave/oven and induction
cooktop when a shore power source or generator source is
unavailable. This power source will be limited by the state of
charge of your batteries and by the amount of current drawn by
each appliance. The inverter has a built-in transfer switch that
allows the 110-120 volt power to bypass the inverter and power
the 110-120 volt plug outlets, entertainment center, induction
cooktop and microwave directly, when the motorhome is plugged
into a shore power source or running on the generator.

NOTE:
Connect and lock the power cord to your coach first and
then the external power source.
NOTE:
All dash components including the in-dash radio and
front map lights are powered through the starting (chassis
battery. Prolonged use of these items when the vehicle is not
running will deplete the engine starting battery.
