• Plug your power cord into
the 50 amp receptacle.
• 50 amp plugs have 4 prongs
• Flip the circuit breaker to the
ON position.
• The transfer switch and
inverters may take up to a
minute to respond.
• Your running generator
provides 50 amps of
service.
• The generator may be
operated manually or set to
start automatically when
pre-set conditions are met.

ELECTRICAL POWER
Battery Power
• Your coach has 4 AGM
batteries. This battery
option provides plenty of
power and a long life.
Water NEVER has to be
added.
• The batteries are located
in the middle of the
basement toward the rear
of the coach.

BEFORE WE BEGIN
ELECTRICAL POWER
“Types”of Power
There are two electrical systems in your coach: first, there is a 120
volt AC (alternating current) system used to run your major
appliances (heat pumps, refrigerator, etc.); second, there is a 12 volt
DC (direct current) system to power your lights, slides and other
devices.
Basics of electricity
• Voltage is to electricity as pressure is to water. The higher the
number, the greater the “pressure.”
• Amperage is to electricity as volume is to water. The higher the
number, the more water flows through a given size pipe.
• Your inverters have two functions:
CONVERTING 120 volt AC electricity to 12 volt DC electricity.
• This function enables your batteries to be charged.
INVERTING 12 volt DC electricity to 120 volt AC electricity.
• This function enables your batteries to power your 120 volt
Batteries
• Batteries are used for two functions:
120 Volt System
• 50 amp Service
-50 amp service actually provides 100 amps of power because your
plug gives you access to two 50 amp circuits. If you look at the plug
at the end of your power cord, you will see it has four prongs
(shown below). You will also notice there are two circuit breakers
(generally connected together) at the electric pedestal at the park.
Each is a 50 amp circuit breaker. When your coach is connected to
50 amp service it actually has 100 amps of electricity available to
run the heat pumps, etc.
appliances when you do not have 120 volt power available.
-two CHASSIS batteries are primarily used to start the engine.
-four HOUSE batteries are used to power the coach.

“Types” of Power
120 Volt System - continued
• 30, 20 and 15 amp Service
-Not all parks or sites in a park have 50 amp service. There will
be times when you will have to connect to other than 50 amp
service. You will need to carry an adapters in order to do this –
you should purchase and always have a 50 amp to 30 amp
adapter and a 30 to 20/15 amp adapter with you.
-When hooking up to 30 amp service (the most common
exception to 50 amp service), the coach is only receiving 30 amps
of power since there is only one “Hot” line being connected.
Ground Wire
17
“Hot” Wire
(30 amps)
-When connected to 30 amp service, your coach is only receiving
30% of the power it receives when connected to 50 amp service –
yes, it can be confusing.
• For this reason, your coach is powered through a
combination of shore, battery and if installed, solar panel
power.
-If not charged, the batteries will completely discharge – “go dead.”
-The batteries can recharge when using the generator.
-The generator can be started manually using 1) the dash
generator ON/OFF button, or 2) by setting the Energy Command
control.
12 Volt System
• The power to operate your lights, slides and other 12 volt devices
comes directly from your 12 volt batteries. The batteries need
recharged so they do not go “dead.” This is discussed in more
detail later in the Guide.
• One of the functions of your inverters is to CONVERT 120 volts
AC to 12 Volts DC so your batteries can be recharged when
needed.
• Part of maintaining your batteries is maintaining a minimal charge
within them. Your coach has a power management system which
is operated through your VegaTouch system but is invisible to
you.

Consider purchasing and using a pressure regulator valve to
protect your coach’s plumbing system. Some water sources have
pressures that could cause damage to your plumbing system.
1. Be sure that the water pump is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the coach’s water hose to a potable water source faucet.
When completed, turn on the city/park water faucet.
3. Turn the valve shown above to the horizontal position to fill the
tank.
4. Monitor the amount of water in the tank by pushing the FRESH
button on the tank monitoring system.
5. When the desired amount of water is in the fresh water tank, turn
off the water source and return the valve back to the vertical
position.
6. Retract the fresh water hose by pushing the button.
USING CITY/PARK WATER
Photo shows the valve in the normal vertical position for using city
water.
1. Connect the coach’s water hose to a potable water source faucet.
When completed, turn on the city/park water faucet.
2. Double check that the valve is in the vertical position.
NOTE
If the tank fill valve is not in the vertical position, water from
either the city or fresh water tank will not flow into the coach.

ELECTRONIC & MECHANICAL SWITCHES AND CONTROLS
Types of Switches
MultiPlex VegaTouch Rocker Switches
Self-Explanatory
These switch systems were chosen to provide you the easiest way
to control all the devices and systems in your coach. There are times
when two different types of switches will be used to accomplish the
same outcome – this is for your convenience and ease of use. Each
of these systems will now be introduced.
MultiPlex Switching System
Individual switches are combined in
several pads located throughout your
coach. Each switch pad contains the
switches relevant to that location:
MultiPlex Switch Color Coding
On/Off Switches: White = Off; Blue = ON

Controlling Lights
• Switches that control lights have a light bulb icon.
• Certain lights can only be turned on and off and have
switches that look like this (see entry ceiling photo).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Light switches that have up and down arrows can be
dimmed (see center ceiling photo).
• Depress and hold the switch until the desired
illumination is achieved. The multiplex system will
remember the setting when the lights are turned on
again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The Panel Lights switch can set two levels of
illumination for switch panels. The light level can be
increased/decreased by depressing the “Dim” button.
• The switch is designed to enable comfortable lighting
levels or sleeping and other activities.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
• All the lights that are on when the OFF button is
pressed will go off but remembered by the system.
• When the ON button is pushed, the lights that were
illuminated earlier will be switched on from memory. If
the button is pushed and held, the settings are reset
and all the lights will be illuminated at their brightest
intensity.
• If no lights were on when leaving the coach, the Light
Master ON button will illuminate ALL the lights to their
brightest intensity.
Operating Shades
• To lower or raise one or multiple shades (depending on
the switch) press and release either the down or up
arrow button once.
• To stop the shade in the desired position, press the
arrow button again.
• Master shade switches will control multiple shades inside of the
coach.
• Windshield night shades will not operate when the ignition is in the
ON position.
• There is a slight delay in movement when selecting shade options.
Be patient: DO NOT push the switch multiple times.
• The Master Shade switch controls all the shades EXCEPT the
bathroom.

Components of VegaTouch System
The primary elements of the VegaTouch system are: a dash
mounted touch screen accessed through the Infotainment System; a
stand-alone mid-ship touch screen; a FireFly wireless router; and,
mechanisms to control each of the components managed by the
VegaTouch system. In addition, the Xite radio can control a limited
number of VegaTouch functions. The FireFly wireless router is co-
located with the living room’s audio/ visual equipment.
How It Works
The wireless router creates a wireless local area network (LAN)
within the coach that wirelessly connects all the controlled devices to
each of the VegaTouch panels. Note that this LAN is NOT
connected to the Internet and has a range of about 30 feet.
Connection of the LAN to the Internet can only be accomplished
through the use an air card or mobile hot spot device obtained from
your wireless carrier and connected to the router via a USB port.
Only available with a wireless cell phone
carrier USB hot-spot or air card along
with a carrier service plan

Interacting With Your VegaTouch System
The mid-ship VegaTouch pad is physically connected to your
VegaTouch system. The dashboard touch screen, however, is
connected wirelessly through the Xite radio. Therefore, this display
must be configured to wirelessly connect to your VegaTouch
system. Fortunately the set-up procedure should only have to be
once.
The following commands are used to interface with the displays:
• Tap with one finger – this action on a (virtual) button will bring
up the screen(s) specific to that function.
• Slide one finger across the screen – this action moves the
position of the information displayed on the screen.
• Touch and hold – this action generally brings up more detailed
information than is found on the screen that appears after a tap.

Setting Up Your VegaTouch System
The mid-ship VegaTouch pad is physically connected to your
VegaTouch system. The dashboard display, however, is connected
wirelessly. The setup for this connection has already been
completed for you. If the display does not work, the first thing to
check is if the display is, in fact, connected to your VegaTouch
system. This can be easily accomplished by inspecting the
VegaTouch opening screen on your dashboard panel.
If the Crestron
Version number
is displayed, the
touch panel IS
connected.
Connected
29
If Lost Connection
is displayed, the
touch panel is NOT
connected.
Not Connected
Should you encounter this situation, reset the wireless router
located in your audio/visual equipment cabinet and your VegaTouch
display by turning them both off and turning them back on (router
first) AFTER 30 seconds have elapsed. If this does not work, call
Entegra Coach or your local dealer for assistance.
The appendices includes instructions on how to perform the
original set up of the display.
