Your house battery will consist of either a single large capacity AGM
battery, or LiFoPO4 batteries (up to 6 total if the coach is equipped
with the optional Freedom Lithium package). The chassis size (144 vs
170 / 170 EXT) will also determine the physical size, storage capacity,
and mounting location of the house battery(s).
See table below.
When connected through the coach’s inverter, the 12-volt power
stored in the house battery may also be converted into 120-volt AC
energy to power the microwave / convection oven, the front and rear
TVs, Blue Ray player (if equipped) and the coach’s WiFi router and
Apple TV module. It will not provide sufficient amperage to power the
120-volt AC roof air conditioner (Only applies to coaches without the
Freedom
®
Lithium package).
■
USB CHARGING PORTS
Universal Serial Bus (USB) charging ports are located throughout the
coach to provide for the convenient recharging of cellular phones and
other small devices requiring 12-volt power� The USB ports located
behind the driver’s compartment (forward cab of the vehicle) are all
powered through the coach’s house battery(s). The USB ports located
in the dashboard of the vehicle are powered by the chassis battery�
The dashboard USB ports are of the USB-C variety, whereas all other
ports throughout the coach are of the standard USB-A type�
■
LPG GENERATOR
Your coach may be equipped with the optional Onan QG 2500 LP
Generator, which will operate on Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) to
produce up to 2500 watts of 120-volts AC power (a maximum of 20�8
amps @ 3,600rpm). The LP generator is fully integrated into your
coach’s electrical system� It is mounted beneath the vehicle and
directly behind the rear axle� Please read the Onan RV Genset
Generator Operator’s Manual completely before proceeding to start or
run the LP generator�
Use clean and fresh HD-5 grade Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) containing
at least 90% propane to operate the generator� Some commercially
available LPG may contain up to 2�5% butane, which may make
starting difficult in cold temperatures (below 32°F).
The generator is started and stopped primarily from the Firefly network
interface display� It may be activated manually or via the AGS (if your
coach is equipped with this option). It may also be started or stopped
using the generator’s Start / Stop rocker switch, located behind the
service access hatch on the generator�
Before you start the generator perform the following safety
checks:
STEP 1
Make sure the Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector is
functioning properly and close any windows directly
above the generator exhaust�
STEP 2
Inspect the exhaust system to make sure it is in good
condition and is not obstructed�
STEP 3
Check for any signs of a fuel leak� LPG has a distinct odor
and is easily detectable�
STEP 4
Ensure the generator is not obstructed or sitting too close
to the ground. It must have good airflow around the unit
to cool properly� It must also never be operated in contact
with standing water�
STEP 5
Turn off the air conditioner and the inverter to ensure no
major appliances are running at startup�
