Messages Subject: Shore Power

Is there a switch you have to flip on a 1984 coach to use the onboard lights while hooked up to
shore power?

There is a, at least on later Newells, a transfer switch that must be changed from generator to
shorepower to get 120 volt power. If you don't have 120 volts to the electric outlets in the coach
when plugged into good power, make sure the switch is in the shorepower setting and then
check the fuses on the transfer switch unit itself which, at least on my 1992 model is in the bay
with the power cords and the converter. If you have 120 volts to the electric outlets in the coach
but no lights you probably have a 12 volt problem. Either the batteries have died or shorted out
internally or your 12 volt charger/converter is not functioning.

I have a storage facility for a 2005 Newell 450. The building has 3-phase 120/208v power. If I
provide a 50amp receptacle on the 120/208v power will I experience any problems?

Never connect a Newell, or any motorhome, to three-phase power. You will do a great deal of
damage to your electrical components. Motorhomes, including Newells, use a four wire, two leg
120/240 volt single phase electrical system. An electrician can wire a 50-amp RV outlet to
virtually any residential electrical system.
