LP Gas Connections and Start Up
I
WARNING: LP gas can be extremely dangerous. Make sure that you
read, understand and follow all information supplied in this manual
and all component part manufacturer’s manuals before operating your
LP gas system.
After the camper is completely set up and you are prepared for camping enjoyment, follow
these steps for LP gas operation.
1. Close all burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
2. Open the main valve on the LP gas container slowly to avoid a fast rush through the
excess flow valve causing a gas freeze. If you experience a gas freeze-up, close the
main valve and wait fifteen (15) minutes before trying again.
3. Listen carefully as the gas begins to flow. If hissing is heard for more than one (1) or
two (2) seconds, this may indicate a leak. Immediately close the valve and search for
the leak.
4. Light the appliances as needed and directed in the appliance manufacturers
instructions.
Make sure that you read and fully understand ALL safety requirements for handling and
operation of the LP gas system. Literature is supplied with your unit from the manufacturer
of the various appliances hooked to your LP gas system. The LP gas system provides added
benefits to your camping enjoyment, however, it must be handled with care. If you have
any questions or concerns, consult with your independent, authorized dealer and/or the
specific appliance manufacturer.
Use only one LP gas bottle at a time, otherwise the gas supply will be drawn equally from
both bottles until the supply has been totally exhausted. Using one bottle until it is empty,
then using the second bottle will allow you to fill the empty bottle at your convenience
without being totally out of LP gas.
Waste Disposal
Caution: For the protections of your sanitation system and the environment, always
use biodegradable toilet paper that is specifically rated for recreation vehicles. If
you have questions, consult with your independent, authorized dealer.
Proper care of the sanitation system is critical to efficient operation. Make sure that you
have read, understand and follow the instructions for operation of your system.
Some campgrounds provide sewer hook-up right at the individual campsite. This
convenience can save a great deal of energy if utilized properly. If hook up is not provided
at your site, the trailer will need to be moved to an approved dump station.
The termination valves for your holding tanks are located on the exterior of the trailer close
to the drain pipe.
