110-VOLT POWER
The 110-volt system works very much like your home. When you're plugged into city power or start your
generator, power is supplied to the 110-volt circuit breakers. The circuit breakers are located under the
front of the rear bed in the 30’ & 33’ and in the top of the roadside wardrobe in the 26’.
If a circuit is over loaded or a short circuit occurs, the breakers will "kick" out. To reactivate the circuits,
turn the breaker to off, reduce the load or correct the short, and turn the breaker back to on.
One of the easiest and least disturbing way to reduce the 110-volt load is to turn off the water heater switch
in the bathroom. The water heater element draws about 12 amps.
One of the breakers is a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) breaker. The intent of this breaker is to sense any
loss of ground before a harmful shock could occur, and kick the breaker out. These sensitive breakers are
installed in the circuit feeding the outside receptacle, and galley area. These are the areas where the use of
water or the wet ground could put a person in danger of shock. Since the GFI breaker is so sensitive, it is
not unusual to have it kick out for no apparent reason.
110-VOLT SWITCHOVER BOX
To protect linemen from an unexpected shock the generator must: be wired through a switchover box. Two
automatic switch over boxes are located in the trunk storage area behind a false panel on the roadside of the
area.
Generator/City Power
A. To 110-volt circuit breakers
B. To generator 30 amp circuit
C. To city power
When plugged into city power, the current path is from C
to A. When you start your generator and unplug from city
power, the points switch and the power flow is from B to
A. If you're plugged into city and you start the generator,
city power has the priority, so the current flow is C to A.
Rear Air Conditioner
A. To rear air conditioner
B. Generator 20 amp circuit
C. To front/rear air conditioner Automatic Energy Select
