MOTORHOME SYSTEMS
LIQUID PROPANE GAS SYSTEM
LP appliances are: Fridge, Cooktop, 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 passenger side propane tank 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.
The 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 gage is located inside your coach on the
touch screen control panels. 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.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and all smoking
materials;
2. Do not touch any electrical switches;
3. Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve or gas supply
connection;
4. Open all the doors and other ventilating openings;
5. Leave the area until the odor clears and you are sure
there is no further risk to you or others;
6. Have the gas system checked and leakage source
corrected before using again.
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.
WARNING
: Do not place the cooktop cover on the stove
when the cooktop is lit, or when the burner knobs are in the
ON position. Allow the cooktop to cool before closing the
glass cover.
