MOTORHOME CARE
and butane liquefied petroleum gas.
There are dedicated hoses available for
different types of gas/bottle. They are
also available for camping gas and other
mainland Europe LPG suppliers. Please
contact your retailer who will have a
stock of these hoses.
Note: Regulator valves should always be in
the 'OFF' position when towing.
WARNING: Some industrial LPG
appliances operate at high pressure and
require a 'high pressure' regulator. This
often has an adjusting handle on it.
NEVER use such a regulator on a
Motorhome.
Propane and Butane gas regulators are not
interchangeable.
Cylinders and regulators are also not
interchangeable between different makes of
gas cylinder.
For propane and butane cylinders always
ensure that the mating parts are clean, free
from dirt and undamaged, and, in the case of
butane regulators, check that the washer is
in place on the spigot of the connector and is
in good condition.
4) Awnings. Awnings should be fitted so that
any flue discharge into them does not
constitute a hazard.
There is no danger of pollution of an
enclosed awning space by the LPG exhaust
from the refrigerator venting into it.
WARNING: Space heaters may produce
sufficient exhaust gases to pollute the
awning space if it is totally enclosed
(from a general comfort, smell, and
hygiene point of view). In the extreme
case, there could be a build up of carbon
dioxide to a dangerous level.
Note: Motorhome owners are strongly
advised against placing an awning on the
same side as the Space Heater Exhaust, as
this will prevent fresh air circulation into the
awning.
