1. Open the panel

• Locate the black distribution/breaker box.

• Press the top of the cover to release it and open the panel.

2. Understand the 12V fuse side (right side)

• Look at the right side of the panel for 12-volt blade fuses.

• Each fuse is labeled with:

  • The circuit it controls (e.g., fridge)

  • The amperage rating (e.g., 50 amps)

3. Check for a blown fuse

• If something stops working, look for a red light next to a fuse.

• The red light indicates the problem fuse.

4. Replace a blown 12V fuse

• Identify the fuse with the red light.

• Pull it out.

• Confirm the correct amperage rating.

• Replace it with a new fuse of the same rating.

5. Understand the 120V breaker side (left side)

• Look at the left side of the panel for 120-volt breakers.

• Each breaker is labeled for the circuit it controls (like home outlets).

6. Reset a tripped breaker

• Check if a breaker is:

  • Fully ON

  • Or halfway between ON and OFF

• If tripped:

  • Switch it fully OFF

  • Then switch it back ON

7. Troubleshooting outlet power issues

• If 120V outlets stop working, check breakers first.

• If a breaker keeps tripping repeatedly, contact support for help.

8. Close the panel

• Once finished, securely close the cover of the breaker panel.
