AIR CONDITIONER
Consult the manufacturer’s information supplied with your trailer and/or your
independent, authorized dealer for maintenance information on the air conditioning unit.
Information is also available at www.rvcomfort.com/rv_products.htm .
A special foam gasket is placed between the roof material and the subframe of the air
conditioner to guard against water leakage.
An air conditioner is subjected to wind pressures along with motor vibration during normal
operation. Inspect the mounting bolts for tightness to ensure there is no leakage or
looseness at least annually. Tighten bolts when they are loose. DO NOT overtighten these
bolts as it may damage the gasket.
To gain access to the bolts, remove the filtered panel cover on central air systems or the
entire air box on non-central air conditioners.
LP GAS SYSTEM
Your LP gas system is designed to function properly with regular maintenance and
inspection. Make sure that you regularly check for any gas leaks as outlined in the safety
information in this manual, as well as any appliance manufacturer’s supplied information.
It is recommended that you have your system inspected at least annually by a qualified
independent, authorized dealer or LP gas supplier.

LP Gas Bottles

refilled.
4. An LP bottle must always be placed in an upright position. Assure that the bottle is
secured in place prior to moving the vehicle.

connected to the recreation vehicle LP gas system or is being refilled.

qualified technician and discard it, if necessary. Verify with your local LP dealer that
all required inspections and certifications have been completed on the LP bottle
within the correct time period before refilling the bottle.
