USING THE WATER SYSTEM DURING FREEZING
WEATHER
Please keep in mind that your motorhome was not designed for use during sub-freezing
weather.
There is no commodity or product that can be added to the fresh water systems to ensure
freeze protection while the system is in use, other than RV antifreeze. Do not drink water
with antifreeze. This includes non-toxic RV antifreeze.
THE LP FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel system has numerous components such as: containers, hoses, regulator, piping and
copper tubing lines to each appliance. Each of these components will be explained in
appropriate area.
Several fuels are available to be used in recreation vehicle appliances, but only LP
(Liquefied Petroleum) is to be used. This product is refined from crude oil through
natural gases. In its gaseous (vapor) form, it is colorless, and odorless. An agent has been
added for detection should a leak develop or a valve left opened. It is important for a
recreation vehicle owner to recognize and know the smell of LP vapor.
LP fuel is stored in liquid form under high pressure. Fuel will change to vapor when
released from container. Appliances are not designed to operate with liquid. Liquid will
damage o-rings in the valves and also leave sticky, oily residue causing poor or no
operation in regulator.
LP Container
Under the floor of the motorhome is an A.S.M.E. (Fig. 4-17), a permanently mounted
container for LP fuel. Because the container is not removable, the motorhome will need
to be driven to an LP fill station. When filling your LP container ensure that the
technician knows and understands safety and correct procedures. NEVER allow the
container to be overfilled.

DO NOT use tools or heavy equipment to open or close valves on the containers. HAND
TIGHTEN only.
