It is suggested by the hose manufacturer that the Liquid Propane (LP) sup-
ply hoses used on your motorhome be subject to regular inspection. As a
guideline, we suggest that all flexible LP lines connecting the slide out, appli-
ances, or tanks be inspected in the spring and fall of each year by a qualified
RV technician.
According to the manufacturer, the inspections should consist of the follow-
ing procedures and be performed when the hose is not under pressure:
1. Inspect the outside cover of the hose for blistering, abrasion or cuts
and end coupling slippage. Cuts in the hose cover, which expose or
damage the reinforcement, are cause for replacement. Hose strength
is controlled by the plies of the reinforcement and, for this reason;
damage in this area cannot be tolerated. Small cuts, nicks, or gouges
in the cover that do not go completely through the cover will not be
cause for replacement of the hose.
NOTE: Pricking of the cover in the manufacture of this
type of hose is common and necessary for satisfactory hose
performance; consequently, the uniformly pricked cover
should not be viewed with alarm.
2. Damage to the textile reinforcement or wire braid is cause for hose
replacement. Wire braid reinforced hose, which has been kinked or
flattened so as to permanently deform the wire braid in the un-pres-
surized state, shall be removed from service.
3. Blistering or loose outer cover is cause for hose replacement.
4. Examine end couplings for slippage. Slippage is evidenced by the
misalignment of the hose and coupling and/or the scored or exposed
area where slippage has occurred. Any evidence of slippage is cause
for hose replacement.
5. It is important that if a damaged LP gas hose is found, the source of
the damage be determined and corrected prior to the replacement of
the LP gas hose.
NOTE: Only a qualified RV technician should complete
replacement of LP gas components.
It is also suggested that the flexible LP gas supply lines on your recreational
vehicle be replaced every ten (10) years. The manufacturer of the LP gas sup-
ply lines recommend this schedule. Holiday Rambler recommends following
these guidelines to assure your continued safety and the dependable use of
your recreation vehicle.
