PROPANE TANK:
To open and close the tank use the manual tank shutoff valve located on the tank, accessible from behind the
rear bumper.
It is recommended to close the tank shutoff valve when the vehicle is not in daily use. Further, it is recommended
to close the shutoff valve when the vehicle is in travel.
The refrigerator should only be operated on 12 volt when the vehicle is in travel. See refrigerator Manufacturers
Owner Manual for proper 12 volt operation.
APPLIANCES:
WARNING:
It is not safe to use cooking appliances for space heating purposes due to the danger of asphyxiation.
WARNING:
The propane stove needs fresh air for its safe operation.
Because the amount of air supply is limited by the size of your vehicle, before operating the propane stove, open
the overhead vent or a window . Proper ventilation when using the propane stove will reduce the dangers of
asphyxiation. Note also that the combustion of propane produces water vapor which may condense on windows
and other cooler surfaces.
WARNING:
Portable fuel burning equipment, including wood and charcoal grills and stoves, should not be used
inside your vehicle. Use of this equipment inside your vehicle may cause fire or asphyxiation.
See appropriate component Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manuals for operating instructions.
REFUELING PROCEDURES:
WARNING:
Do not refuel the propane tank to more than 80% of its capacity.
A properly refueled propane tank will hold approximately 80% of its volume in a liquid state. Overfilling of the
propane tank can result in uncontrolled gas flow which can cause fire or explosion.
WARNING:
The tank valve must be closed and
ALL PILOT LIGHTS, APPLIANCES, AND THEIR IGNITERS,
(see Operating Instructions) SHALL BE TURNED OFF
during refueling of motor fuel tank and / or the propane
tank. Only qualified personnel should refuel your propane tank.
REGULATOR:
The propane appliance regulator and BBQ regulator are located adjacent to the propane tank.
This regulators have been installed under a protective cover to keep out debris, with the vents facing downward.
These are not user serviceable items and should not be removed or modified by anyone but a licensed RV gas
technician. Illegal or uncertified modification can lead to fire or explosion.
