To allow for proper operation of the motor home ventilation system, keep the

Maintenance
It is recommended that the exhaust system and vehicle body be inspected by a
qualified motor home service center.

Propane or LP (liquefied petroleum ) gas is a clean and efficient form of energy
when proper handling and safety precautions are observed. The propane system
in your motor home furnishes the fuel for cooking, heating, hot water and propane
generator (if so equipped). Propane can also be used as an alternative energy
source for refrigeration.
The propane fuel system is comprised of numerous components such as the
propane container, hoses, the propane gas regulator, piping and copper tubing
lines to each appliance.
Propane is heavier than air; the gas tends to flow to lower areas and will
sometimes pocket in these low areas, such as the floor.
Your motor home is equipped with a propane alarm (refer to Sec. 2 Safety
Precautions, Combination Carbon Monoxide (CO)/Propane Alarm.)
Maintenance
Although both Jayco and your selling dealer carefully test for leakage, travel
vibrations can loosen fittings. Have the vehicle propane system checked at all
connections soon after the purchase of your vehicle, and after the initial filling of
the propane tanks.

NOTE : All propane lines have been checked with air pressure at the time of
manufacture. Dealers are required to recheck and adjust pressure before retail
delivery.
WARNING
If you are in a parked motor home with either the engine running or the
generator running there is a potential for exhaust fumes to filter back into the
motor home.
WARNING
Propane cylinders should not be placed or stored inside the vehicle. LP-gas
cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve pressure by
discharging gas into the atmosphere
