LIQUID PROPANE GAS SYSTEM
LP appliances are: Generator, Water Heater and Furnace
Your motorhome is equipped with a Liquid Propane (LP) gas
system that provides a fuel source to the appliances, which are
designed to use this gas for operation. The storage tank is located
under the chassis between the hitch rails. Access to the LP tank
and regulator is found under the vehicle. The regulator is on the
driver side generator bracket.
An LP gas regulator must always be installed with the diaphragm
vent facing downward. Regulators that are not in compartments
have been equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that the
regulator vent faces downward and that the cover is kept in place
to minimize vent blockage that could result in excessive gas
pressure, causing fire or explosion. The main propane shut-off
switch is located in the driver side utility center.
Propane fill, breather valve and BBQ quick connect are located on
the driver side rear, exterior corner of the vehicle. The breather
valve must be open to fill the propane tank. Liquid will appear
through the breather valve when the tank is 80% full.
The propane gauge is located inside your coach on the entry and
rear touchscreen control panel. The panel will indicate full or 100%
when the LP tank is 80% full.
NOTE:
Your LP gas appliances may not light on the first try.
There may be air in the LP gas lines that will dissipate as the gas
pressurizes the lines.

WARNING:
Do not bring or store LP gas containers, gasoline
or other flammable liquids inside the vehicle because a fire or
explosion may result. LP gas containers are equipped with safety
devices that relieve excessive pressure by discharging gas into
the atmosphere.
WARNING:
It is not safe to use cooking appliances for comfort
heating. Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation.
Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply in the unit is limited
due to the size of the vehicle. Proper ventilation when using
the cooking appliance(s) will avoid the dangers of asphyxiation,
explosion and CO poisoning.
WARNING:
Do not use portable fuel burning equipment,
including wood and charcoal grills and stoves inside the
motorhome. The use of this equipment inside the recreational
vehicle may cause fire or asphyxiation.
