To protect your investment, as well as ensuring your continued enjoyment and personal
safety, we urge you to follow this maintenance schedule. You will find other recom-
mended maintenance instructions and schedules in the individual component operating
instructions. While many owners perform their own maintenance, your Jayco dealer will
be happy to handle your service needs.
LP GAS BOTTLES
1. The LP gas bottle or tank must be painted with a light color, such as white or silver
plate, to reflect heat and light.
2. Rust, scratches, and/or dents can affect the safety of the bottle or tank. The D.O.T.
requires that a visual inspection is made prior to each filling.
3. Any container that has been exposed to fire, leaks or seems damaged should not be
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.
5. The D.O.T. requires that LP bottles be inspected, certified and labeled when it is
twelve years old. (The number of years for certification may vary in your area.)
Following the initial twelve-year period, the bottle must be qualified every five
years.
6. The valve of the bottle or tank must be CLOSED at all times except when it is
connected to the recreation vehicle LP gas system or is being refilled. When it is
unhooked, be sure to use the P.O.L. plug as indicated in Chapter 4.
7. Inspect the bottle at regular intervals. If there is a problem, have it evaluated by a
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.
STORAGE
Depending upon your area and where your unit is stored, your camper may be a target for
damage from rodents and insects. To protect your camper, never leave food inside the
unit and ensure that all surfaces are clean. You may want to place rodent control products
in the unit during periods of storage. Mice can do a tremendous amount of damage to the
tent, drapes, cushions, etc. particularly during the winter months. Storing units in fields
make them particularly inviting to rodents. Periodically inspect your unit during storage
and seal off any areas which can offer an entry point to rodents or insects. Please
remember to remove any screens or tape you have used to seal openings before you use
the camper again. Special interest publications, such as articles and books offered through
TL Enterprises (Trailer Life, Motorhome, etc.) can offer additional and practical advice on
the proper storage of your camper. Damage from rodents or insects are NOT covered
under your Jayco Limited Warranty.
Use only breathable fabric camper covers, such as those available through your Jayco
dealer, when storing your camper.
CAUTION:
DO NOT
store camping trailer under a dark colored cover. Use only
light colored breathable covers to prevent extreme heat. Consult your Jayco dealer
for the proper products to use.
CAUTION: When storing your folding camping trailer, it is recommended that the
battery be unhooked to avoid draining the battery.
