ELECTRICAL FEATURES
120 VOLT (VAC) AC RECEPTACLES
Your Wayfarer motorhome is equipped with several 120 VAC receptacles (Figure 9-5) located
throughout the interior of the motorhome.
These 120 VAC receptacles are of the “three-prong” variety; the third prong being a grounding pin
which provides adequate grounding to protect one from any electrical shock.
For these receptacles to work properly, do not use an adapter, cheater, or extension cord which defeats
the function of the grounding pin. For the same reason, never remove or bend away
the ground prong or pin from any three-prong AC plug so that it would fit a two-
prong AC receptacle (i.e., an ungrounded AC receptacle).
Never operate the Wayfarer if there is an electrical short present, as an electrical
short may deliver an electrical shock to anyone coming in contact with the exterior
of the unit.
If you should feel even the slightest of electrical shock, immediately disconnect the
unit from the 120 VAC power source and locate the electrical fault (i.e., typically, it
is a break in the grounding circuit).
Do not reconnect the 120 VAC power until after that electrical fault is fixed— the
grounding circuit must be continuous from the frame to the distribution panel, to
the power cord, and to the earth ground so that electrical-shock protection is
realized.
USB RECEPTACLES
The Wayfarer is equipped with USB ports conveniently located on the
front dashboard and in the bedroom area as well as on the passenger
console. These ports allow for easy access when charging cell phones,
laptop computers, iPods, iPads or other tablets.
