Guidelines

When connecting appliances to the electrical system, remember that 120-volt

power usage is limited to 50 amps per electrical system leg for a total of 100

amps. Be mindful of the fact that each operating appliance collectively places an

added load on your 120-volt electrical system.

 

An unintentional “trip” of a circuit breaker may occur if you overload the motor

home’s and/or campground’s electrical system. The amperage rating of individual

appliances can be calculated by dividing 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.

 

 Only connect the shore power cord to RV 50 amp 120/240 volt electrical

power receptacles.

 Do not connect the 120-volt 50 amp shore power cord to any power

receptacle until you have contacted the campground owner and/or

premise attendant to verify proper shore receptacle polarity and

grounding. Polarity indicators can be purchased in most electrical and

hardware stores.

 Do not use a cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reduce incoming

AC power or to break the continuity of the power cord grounding circuit.

 Do not connect the power cord to an outlet that is not grounded or adapt

the 50 amp power cord plug to connect to a receptacle for which it is not

designed.

 Do not remove the power cord grounding terminal to allow connection with

a non-grounded receptacle. Disabling the grounding circuit of the shore

power cord may create a shock or electrocution hazard.

 Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord. Use of an extension

cord can cause overheating of the extension cord and can create a low

voltage condition. Premature failure of connected 120-volt AC powered

equipment may result.

 

It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the electrical receptacle being

used is properly wired and grounded.

 

Reverse polarity and/or improper grounding of the motor home can cause property

damage, personal injury or death. Failures due to improperly wired and grounded

electric receptacles are not covered by the limited warranty.
