240-volt electrical system in your Star RV vehicle
To run the microwave, power points, air conditioner and to recharge the house battery, connect the motorhome’s 15 AMP electricity cord to a 240-volt external power source.
These devices will only work if you are connected to 240-volt power.
How long will my battery last?
It is recommended to use the powered features within the vehicle conservatively and if you intend to stay off grid, that every 48 hours you charge the power at a powered outlet to keep batteries charged.
Troubleshooting:
If you are experiencing difficulty in charging the vehicle, ensure that the power point at the caravan park is in working order. Unplug the van from the powered outlet at the caravan park. Attach an alternative device (mobile phone, toaster etc.) into the power lead on the van and check the lead is in working order.
Plug the device directly into the powered outlet at the caravan park. If there is an issue with the powered outlet inform caravan park staff.
If you experience a power surge where the circuit breakers trip, locate the circuit breakers outside of the motorhome and switch them back to ‘ON’/UP position.
Overloading the 240-volt system will cause the circuit breakers to turn off. This can happen if using multiple 240-volt items at once.
The main cause could be if trying to use air conditioner and microwave at the same time.
