SECTION 6 –
ELECTRICAL
INVERTER UNIT – 1000W
–If Equipped
The inverter unit is located on the wall of the
utility compartment.
NOTE: The inverter is not intended for steady
use while “dry camping”. Batteries will
deplete quickly with use of the inverter.
The inverter is intended for limited, short
term power usage when not connected to
shoreline or generator power.
The inverter can also be used while
driving the motor home because the
engine alternator will charge the
batteries while driving.
The inverter changes 12-volt DC battery
power into 120-volt AC power for use by 120-
volt AC equipment inside the coach.
Inverter Control Panel
–If Equipped
The inverter has a wall-mounted monitor/
control panel. It will also display warnings for
overload conditions or other operating failure
conditions.
When the inverter is not being used, it should
be shut off at the control panel. The inverter
could drain the house batteries if the shoreline is
not connected to external power and the House/
Coach Battery switch is on.
Further Information
See the inverter control panel instructions in
your InfoCase for complete instructions and
charging setup directions.
POWER CENTER
(Converter)
The power converter is generally located in a
lower cabinet face in the galley, living area,
beneath a bed, or in power cord compartment
depending on the floorplan of your model.
The power converter changes 120-volt AC
current from the auxiliary generator or the
shoreline into 12-volt DC current for use by 12-
volt equipment in the motor home.
Certain circuits, however, remain unchanged
for use by items which require 120-volt current,
such as the air conditioner(s), the refrigerator in
AC mode, the microwave oven, etc.
NOTE: The converter will not change 12-volt
DC current to 120-volt AC.
NOTICE
Do not store items too closely around the
inverter unit in the storage compartment.
The inverter generates heat while
operating and needs unrestricted airflow
for proper cooling. Damage to the inverter
can result.
