Hot Water
The 170 Versatile is equipped with a 6 gallon water heater. The heater requires both 12VDC and propane for proper
operation. See Monitor Panel for location and operation of the switch for the heater.
Refer to the Owner's Manual for the heater for details about the heater itself.
Refrigerator
The refrigerator is a 3-way electric and propane model which that can run on DC (battery) power, AC (shore / generator)
power, or propane. Propane operation allows you to operate your refrigerator for weeks on one tank of propane while
boondocking, but cannot be used while the vehicle is in motion. While driving, operate the refrigerator on DC 12 volt power -
the vehicle alternator generates more than enough power to run the refrigerator and keep your batteries charged while
driving. You can use AC when plugged into shore power when you don't want to use propane unnecessarily.
Never run your refrigerator on propane while at a gas station. Shut the refrigerator off while at a gas station, and
turn it back on after pulling away from the pumps. To ensure that neither your hot water heater nor your refrigerator
generate dangerous open flames while handling fuel, always turn the battery disconnect switch OFF when refueling.
Refer to the refrigerator owner's manual for details of operation.
