Propane System

Your vehicle is equipped with a propane system which, when properly handled and maintained, will provide trouble and worry free operation of your propane
fueled appliances.

The propane tank is located across the rear of the vehicle. To access the tank for filling and to turn the manual tank shutoff valve off and on, turn the two
retaining tabs on either side of the access cover, located in the center of the rear bumper, and remove the access cover.

You must close the tank shutoff valve when the vehicle is not in daily use. Further, you must close the shutoff valve when the vehicle is traveling. Never
operate any propane appliance, including the refrigerator, while the vehicle is in motion.
