Liquid Propane Gas System
Liquid Propane Gas System
LP (Liquid Petroleum) gas is a colorless
gas compressed into liquid form for easy
transportation and storage. It is the energy
source for your range, oven, furnace, hot water
heater, and an alternate energy source for your
refrigerator. LP gas is an excellent fuel source
that is safe and economical when used properly.
These instructions are provided as a general
guideline only. To ensure proper service
and safety, always take your motorhome to
an authorized Leisure Travel Vans Dealer
service center.
LP Gas Control Valve (Utility Center)
The LP gas control valve (1), located in the
exterior utility center, opens and closes the
LP gas valve. If there is no 12 volt DC power
available in the motorhome, the LP gas valve
will automatically close.
Safe Use of LP Gas
The LP gas system is designed and built
to adhere to federal government and industry
regulation requirements.
Many safety devices and backup systems have
been installed in your motorhome to improve
safety and reliability. These devices and
systems include the following: tank overflow
valves, LP gas detectors, and carbon monoxide
(CO) detectors. In addition, LP gas contains an
odor additive so it can be more easily detected.

Do not tamper with any part of the LP
gas system, piping, or regulator. Service
and maintenance must be performed by
qualified personnel only.
Do not use natural gas in an LP gas system.
Warning
Warning
Warning
Observe the following precautions for the
safe use of LP gas.
1. Familiarize yourself with the odor of LP gas.
If you suspect a leak, immediately turn off
the LP gas supply and have qualified service
personnel determine the source of the leak.
2. Check the entire system for leaks every
time the tank is filled. Take time to regularly
inspect the system for leaks.
3. Turn off the LP gas supply valve when the
LP gas system is not used.
4. Do NOT fill the LP gas tank above 80% of its
maximum capacity. LP gas requires room to
expand within the tank.
5. Make sure all appliance vents are open and
free of obstruction when using the LP gas
system.
6. When drilling holes in walls or attaching
objects, be careful not to damage gas lines
or electrical wiring.
