Propane System
Your vehicle is equipped with a propane system which, when properly handled and maintained, will provide trouble and worry free operation of your
propane fueled appliances.
Many jurisdictions place restrictions on propane on highways, in tunnels, on ferries, and on bridges. Please follow all local restrictions in all the
jurisdictions along your trip. Some bridges/tunnels/ferries require you to have your main tank valve closed. This valve must be closed whenever the
vehicle is in motion in any case, not just in certain areas. Other bridge/tunnels/ferries ban vehicles with propane tanks entirely. Plan ahead and take
an alternate route if passing through areas where vehicles with propane are prohibited.
The propane tank is located across the rear of the vehicle. To access the tank for filling and to turn the manual tank shutoff valve off and on, turn the
two retaining tabs on either side of the access cover, located in the center of the rear bumper, and remove the access cover. (Pictures

You must close the tank shutoff valve when the vehicle is not in daily use. Further, you must close the shutoff valve when the vehicle is
traveling. Never operate any propane appliance, including the refrigerator, while the vehicle is in motion.
In general, the propane system is set up at the factory and requires little to no adjustments or regular maintenance on your part.
The propane system has a high-pressure auxiliary BBQ takeoff. Locate the hose behind the access panel. The hose has a yellow dust-cap, and an
integral cutoff valve. This provides 15PSI regulated propane to appliances that have their own regulators or are built to use high-pressure propane.
