ELECTRICAL POWER
•Make sure the circuit
breaker is turned off at the
pedestal.
•Plug your power cord into
the 50 amp receptacle.
•50 amp plugs have4 prongs
•Flip the circuit breaker to the
ON position.
•The transfer switch and
invertersmay take up to a
minuteto respond.

•Your running generator
provides50 amps of

•The generator may be
operated manually or set to

pre-set conditions are met.
Sources of Power

Battery Power
•Your coach has 4 AGM
batteries. This battery
option provides plenty of
power and a long life.
WaterNEVER has to be
added.
•The batteries are located
in the middleof the
basement toward the rear
of the coach.

“Types”of Power
There are two electrical systems in your coach: first, there is a 120
voltAC (alternating current) system used to run your major
appliances(heat pumps, refrigerator,etc.); second, there is a 12 volt
DC (direct current) system to power your lights, slides and other
devices.
Basics of electricity
•Voltage is to electricityas pressure is to water. The higher the
number, the greater the “pressure.”
•Amperage is to electricityas volume is to water. The higher the
number, the more water flows through a givensize pipe.
•Your inverters have two functions:
CONVERTING 120 voltAC electricityto 12 volt DC electricity.
•This function enables your batteries to be charged.
INVERTING 12 voltDC electricityto 120 volt AC electricity.
•This functionenables your batteries to power your 120 volt
appliances when you do not have120 volt power available.
Batteries
•Batteries are used for two functions:
-two CHASSIS batteries are primarily used to start the engine.
-four HOUSE batteries are used to power the coach.
120 Volt System
•50 amp Service
-50 amp service actually provides 100 amps of power because your
plug gives you access to two 50 amp circuits. If you look at the plug
at the end of your power cord, you will see it has four prongs
(shown below). You will also notice there are two circuit breakers
(generally connected together) at the electric pedestal at the park.
Each is a 50 amp circuit breaker. When your coach is connected to
50 amp service it actually has 100 amps of electricityavailableto
run the heat pumps, etc.

“Types” of Power
12 Volt System
•The power to operate your lights, slides and other 12 volt devices
comes directly from your 12 volt batteries. The batteries need
recharged so they do not go “dead.” This is discussed in more
detail later in the Guide.
•One of the functionsof your inverters is to CONVERT 120 volts
AC to 12 Volts DC so your batteries can be recharged when
needed.
•Part of maintaining your batteries is maintaining a minimal charge
within them. Your coach has a power managementsystem which
is operated through your VegaTouch system but is invisibleto
you.
120 Volt System - continued
•30, 20 and 15 amp Service
-Not all parks or sites in a park have50 amp service. There will
be times when you will haveto connect to other than 50 amp
service. You will need to carry an adapters in order to do this –
you should purchase and always have a 50 amp to 30 amp
adapter and a 30 to 20/15 amp adapter with you.
-Whenhooking up to 30 amp service (the most common
exception to 50 amp service), the coach is only receiving30 amps
of power since there is only one “Hot” line being connected.
-When connected to 30 amp service, your coach is only receiving
30% of the power it receives when connected to 50 amp service –
yes, it can be confusing.
•For this reason, your coach is powered through a
combinationof shore, battery and if installed, solar panel
power.
-If not charged, the batteries will completely discharge – “go dead.”
-The batteries can recharge when using the generator.
-The generator can be started manuallyusing 1) the dash
generator ON/OFF button, or 2) by setting the Energy Command
control.

ELECTRICAL POWER

1. Be sure that the water pump is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the coach’s water hose to a potable water source faucet.
Whencompleted,turn on the city/parkwater faucet.
3. Turn the valveshown aboveto the horizontalposition to fillthe
tank.
4. Monitor the amount of water in the tank by pushing the FRESH
button on the tank monitoringsystem.
5. Whenthe desired amount of water is in the fresh water tank, turn
off the water source and return the valveback to the vertical
position.
6. Retract the fresh water hose by pushing the button.

USING CITY/PARK WATER
Photo shows the valve in the normal vertical position for using city
water.
1. Connect the coach’s water hose to a potable water source faucet.
Whencompleted,turn on the city/parkwater faucet.
2. Double check that the valve is in the verticalposition.
NOTE
If the tank fill valve is not in the vertical position, water from
either the city or fresh water tank will not flow into the coach.

FRESH WATER

Consider purchasing and using a pressure regulator valve to
protect your coach’s plumbing system. Some water sources have
pressures that could cause damage to your plumbing system.

ELECTRONIC & MECHANICAL SWITCHES AND CONTROLS
MultiPlex Switching System
Individual switchesarecombined in
severalpadslocated throughoutyour
coach. Eachswitch pad contains the
switches relevanttothatlocation:
MultiPlex Switch Color Coding
On/Off Switches: White = Off; Blue = ON
Adjustment Switches (awnings, shades
and designated lights) = Green
Types of Switches
MultiPlex VegaTouch Rocker Switches
These switch systems were chosen to provideyou the easiest way
to control all the devicesand systems in your coach. There are times
when two differenttypes of switches will be used to accomplish the
same outcome –this is for your convenienceand ease of use. Each
of these systems will now be introduced.
