Gas Odor.
Should you smell propane gas vapor in your recreational
vehicle, follow these listed guidelines:
1. Evacuate all persons from the vehicle.
2. Shut off the gas supply at the propane gas container.
3. DO NOT touch any switch, phone, or radio in the vehicle.
4. Leave the entrance open for ventilation.
5. Contact a qualified RV technician or gas service technician for
repairs.
6. DO NOT use or reside in the vehicle until the leak has been
repaired.
Gas pressure, as defined in Chapter Four - Systems, is extremely
important. A dial gauge or U-tube manometer is required to perform
tests and adjustments. Pressure must be set at 11 inches w.c.
(water column) plus or minus 1/2 inch. Incorrect gas pressure can
cause any appliance to operate inconsistently and cause poor
combustion. Only qualified technicians with proper equipment
should make any mechanical adjustments.
Voltage must be between 10.5 volts to 13.5 volts at the furnace
during operation. Below 10.5 volts the furnace will shut down. Both
high and low voltage places excessive wear on the motor and
brushes.
Any mechanical adjustments, such as electrode adjustments, should
be performed by a qualified service technician.
COOKING SYSTEM

outside powered by 120 Volt A.C. energy. Power consumption is
12.5 Amps or 1500 Watts. DO NOT use any other appliance on line
along with this hot plate, such as coffee pot, toaster, etc.

burners are turned off when the stove is not in use.
2. Depress knob and turn fully counterclockwise to “LITE” position.
a. Verify sufficient gas supply before attempting to light the
burner. Air in the gas line will significantly delay burner
ignition. Air in the gas lines may occur after the vehicle gas
