WARNING: Do not replace circuit breakers or fuses with a higher current
rating than those supplied with the new camping trailer. Over-fusing can
cause a fire hazard by overheating the electrical wiring.
When attaching wire leads to a tow vehicle, carefully insulate all connections for
protection. Follow the instructions on instruction sheet provided with covered harness.
LP FUEL SYSTEM
It is because of the LP gas system that your RV has the convenience of a refrigerator,
stove, water-heater, and furnace. This system has containers that contain the fuel and also
regulators to control the pressure of the fuel and supplies the gas vapor to the various
appliances. When correctly used, the LP system is very effective and will ensure the
comfort and added convenience for your vehicle. This system is also potentially very
dangerous and should be used with care.
Liquefied petroleum (LP) is a product that is refined from crude oil through natural gases.
LP gas is a colorless and odorless gas that in the liquefied state resembles water. An
odorant is added as a warning agent. This is usually a sulfur compound which gives the
gas the rotten egg, stinky, skunk oil odor. It is extremely important to become familiar
with the odor associated with LP gas.
LP gas is stored in a pressurized canister in a liquid state. As the fuel is released from the
canister, it becomes vapor that is needed for the operation of the appliances. In the liquid
state, gas should not run through the appliances. A liquid fuel will damage the o-rings in
the valves and also leave a sticky, oily residue causing poor or no operation in the
regulator.
All Jayco folding camping trailers have ceiling light circuit directed through a master
shut-off switch to prevent 12-volt current flow to ceiling lights with roof lowered.
Periodically test light and switch to be sure switch adjustment is correct. Switch is
located along bottom edge of roof on roadside.
WARNING: The converter output is not intended to power the optional 3-
way refrigerator. When the folding camping trailer is parked and the power
cord is plugged in, set the 3-way refrigerator to “AC Power.” A “DC” mode is
to be used when traveling and will pull its power from the auxiliary battery
charge line. While camping without available AC power, utilize the “LP Gas”
mode.
Please note, battery warranties are prorated.
Battery Charger
The converter will automatically monitor and charge the auxiliary battery up to a 20-amp
rate. In order to maintain the battery, one of two things is recommended:
• The battery can be stored in a fully charged condition.
• The battery can be hooked to a battery charger once per month.
Battery terminals and connectors, including vehicle frame connections, should be cleaned
thoroughly, securely fastened, and coated with a silicone dialectic compound or petro-
leum jelly.
Trailer Hitch Plug
All exterior vehicle lights are 12-volt and wired in accordance with the standard accepted
color code:

The connector between tow vehicle and trailer may build up
corrosion over a period of time. This is caused by weather elements, and should be
cleaned occasionally to insure good electrical contact.
For the electric brake option, a brake controller must be installed to power the blue wire
when the brakes are applied. Included is a brake-away switch for emergency stopping.
See your dealer for installation.
