LP FUEL SYSTEM
It is because of the LP gas system that your parktrailer has the convenience of a refrigerator, stove,
water-heater, and furnace. This system has tanks that contain the fuel and also regulators to control
the pressure of the fuel and supplies the gas vapor to the various appliances. This parktrailer is also
equipped with an LP connection at the rear of the trailer which may be hooked up to a permanent
large capacity LP tanklocated on your property. When correctly used, the LP system is very
effective and will ensure comfort and added convenience for your trailer. This system is also
potentially very dangerous and must be used with care.
Liquefied petroleum (LP) is a product that is refined from crude oil through natural gases. LP gas is a
colorless and odorless gas that in the liquefied state resembles water. An odorant is added as a
warning agent. This is usually a sulfur compound which gives the gas the rotten egg, stinky, skunk
oil odor. It is extremely important to become familiar with the odor associated with LP gas.
LP fuel is stored in a pressurized canister in a liquid state. As the fuel is released from the canister, it
becomes vapor that is needed for the operation of the appliances. In the liquid state, LP gas should
not run through the appliances. A liquid fuel will damage the o-rings in the valves and also leave a
sticky, oily residue causing poor or no operation in the regulator.
PERMANENT LP TANK
The Cove ParkTrailer is equipped with a rear LP gas line connection. This provides the opportunity
to have a large, permanent LP tankinstalled on your property to hookup to the parktrailer. The
installation of a permanent tankand the connection to your trailer should be performed by a qualified
LP gas technician. Consult with your dealer for assistance with this set up.
