To ensure that all 12V electronic devices work without external power, the camping battery voltage should never fall below 12V (50%).
To use any kind of power in the Couple Condo the kill switch to your right in the side entrance area should always be ON (pointing towards the right). If it is ever OFF (pointing up), switch it back to ON:
There are several lights in the Couple Condo:
- You can control each light via the main panel. The main panel is located in the side entrance on the passenger side, above the beds. The panel has a lightbulb symbol where you can turn on and off all lights inside and outside of the vehicle and even dim the lights. From the detail setting you can choose which light to turn on. Slide the bar to dim:
Next time you select the shortcut square "Lights" from the main screen, the selection you made here is switched on/off. - The bed lighting you can also turn on and off by just pressing the light itself. Same with the lights above the rear bench:
- There is a light switch for the bathroom light below the mirror:
- The light switch for the outside light you can find in the back of the vehicle when the back doors are open:
The inverter
The microwave, the TV, the AC and the regular 120V outlets only work if the inverter is on and working. To check if the inverter is on, check the panel above the side entrance:
If it says INVERTING everything is good and ready to go, same goes if it says CHARGING/ABSORPTION or CHARGING/BULK it is also working but plugged into the shore power.
If it says OFF or the whole screen stays black that means the inverter isn’t working. If it simply says OFF try pressing the first little black button on it, normally that should turn it on.
Here is a video on how to use the inverter:
Be careful
The lights only work if you have a charged battery. So make sure the van is charged and good to go:
Make sure you don’t leave the lights in the driver’s cabin on as they will drain the vehicle battery - not the camper lithium battery!
