are using to plug in your shoreline power cord. This can be a campsite power box or elec-
trical box, a residential receptacle outlet specifically wired for your camper or a generator
(customer supplied).

– A campsite that may have city water, shore power or sewer hook-ups but
not all of them; primitive sites may have no hook-ups or connections at all.
PROPANE
– LPG, or liquefied petroleum gas, used in RVs for heating, cooking and refriger-
ation. Also called bottle gas, for manner in which it is sold and stored. This is the proper term
in the RV industry when referring to "LP Gas."
PULL-THROUGH SITES
– Campsites you can drive through and park (without having to
back up into the site).

chlorine bleach before use or after storage.
