EverGreen Owner's Manual

To disconnect from shore power
1. Turn off the major appliances such as air conditioner.
2. Turn off main breakers off at trailers load center (inside the trailer).
3. Turn off breaker at campground receptacle.
4. Disconnect power cord, coil and store.
Never replace fuses or breakers with those of a higher amperage rating of different type than
originally specified. Installing breakers or fuses of higher amperage may cause overheating, wire
failure and fire causing serious injury or death.
120-volt electrical troubleshooting and tips.
• Except in extreme emergencies, do not use power cord adapters to connect from 15 amps to 30 amps or 30
amps to 50 amps. Use of these adapters can reduce the total electrical current available for use in the RV
causing a low power situation resulting in damage to electrical components. Additionally, high amperage draw
through these adapters may result in failure of the adapter thereby causing a fire.
• Check the reset button on the GFCI receptacle if any receptacle in the trailer is not functioning. Frequently, just
resetting this button on the GFCI will restore power to the non-functioning receptacle.
• Only connected the power to a grounded receptacle.
• If a 120-volt breaker trips or blows, you may have too many appliances connected to that one circuit. Try
moving appliances such as heaters, hair dryers, and toasters to another electrical circuit.
• Do not use extension cord between your trailer’s power cord and an electrical supply as the additional cord
length may reduce voltage to the trailer causing damage to the electrical components within the trailer.
NOTICE
Use of power cord adapters and power cord extensions may cause damage to the electrical
components of the trailer. Damage caused by such use of adapters or extensions is not covered
under any warranty.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI)
The kitchen, bath, and exterior electrical receptacles are protected with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) receptacle.
A GFCI is a device that disconnects a circuit whenever it detects that the electric current is not balanced between the phase
("hot" or "live") conductor and the neutral conductor. Such an imbalance is sometimes caused by current leakage through the
body of a person who is grounded and accidentally touching the energized part of the circuit. GFCI is designed to break the
flow of current to the protected outlet(s). The GFCI will not protect against short circuits or overloads.
Even with GFCI protections, persons with severe heart or similar health problems may still be
seriously affected by an electrical shock. The GFCI is not a replacement for good electrical safety.
It DOES NOT protect against simultaneous contact against neutral and hot wires.
