ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

NOTE: Make sure vent caps are on securely to

prevent baking soda solution from enter-

ing the battery and contaminating the

electrolyte fluid.

• Clean and tighten battery terminals and have

the specific gravity checked at least once a

year.

• Every two months, or more often in hot

weather, check the battery fluid level. Fill to

approximately 3/8 inch above the plates. DO

NOT OVERFILL. If fluid is added during

freezing weather, the motor home should be

driven several miles to mix water and electro-

lyte to prevent freezing.

• Fluid level check may be omitted if equipped

with maintenance-free batteries.

HOUSE BATTERY REPLACEMENT

This coach is equipped with deep-cycle type

batteries designed for recreational vehicle use.

They will provide longer lasting power than

standard automotive batteries, and will with-

stand the frequent drain-and-recharge cycles that

occur under the demanding conditions of RV

usage.

Replacement batteries should be deep-cycle

type with equivalent specifications to avoid loss

of electrical storage capacity.

• Deep-cycle

• 130 Amp Hr.

• 225 minutes reserve capacity

• 665 CCA (cold cranking amps)

TRAILER WIRING CONNECTOR

Your coach is pre-wired for trailer or car tow-

ing lights with a 6-pin socket on the rear bumper.

The connector plug is supplied in the coach parts

package provided to you by your dealer when

you took delivery of the vehicle.

The diagram below shows proper connection

of trailer or tow vehicle wiring to the coach light

system. To access the wire connections inside the

plug, remove the small screw near the end of the

plug and slide the contact assembly out of the

barrel.

WARNING

Before removing any battery cables

or battery, make sure all 12-volt

equipment in the motor home is off

and the power cord has been discon-

nected.

Replace any damaged cables at once.

Always remove jewelry and wear

protective clothing and eye covering

when checking or handing batteries.

WARNING

To prevent wiring damage, it is

essential when replacing the cables

on the battery, or when using a

“booster” battery, that the positive

post and the positive cable be

attached and the negative post and

negative cable be attached. The posts

are marked (+) plus and (-) minus. If

a “fast charger” is used while battery

is in the motor home, disconnect both

battery cables before connecting the

charger. Never attempt to charge or

boost a frozen battery.
