240 hook up

[john eagle]

I have just got a Cali T6 2017 and reading the manual it says something about switching an RCD breaker on before connecting to a 240 volt hook up. Can anyone please tell me if I need to do this and if so where is the breaker I need to switch on?

If it’s an Ocean, look in the rear wardrobe.

Agree with @Erbster - if you connect to 240v hook up and no power in the Cali it’s because you have switched breaker on - it needs to be on red - it’s in rear cupboard accessible from boot.
Silly as it sounds when I’d had my Cali straight from dealers this was the first thing I forgot to do - very stressful 5 mins till I remembered a post from forum

I thought it was: you need to hook up and unhook with the circuit breaker in off position (green). Once hooked up, you put the circuit breaker in on position (red).
It is located in the left most rear cupboard, on the lowest shelf near the side plate of the van.

If it is a Beach the RCD breaker is tucked up above the jack behind the trim I believe.

I leave ours on all of the time there is usually lots of stuff in front of it.
There is no need to switch it on or off when connecting the van to the hook-up post. Can't do this with the beach as it is so inaccessible.
