Not all LP-Gas is the same. There are two main components of LP-Gas, propane and
butane, and they can be blended in any proportion. Butane is the less volatile, and cannot
be used in temperatures below freezing. Propane can be used in temperatures well below
zero degrees Fahrenheit.
If you plan on camping in cold weather, be sure to use gas containing a high proportion of
propane.
NOTE: Diesel models add another feed line to the LP generator.

RECAUTIONS
If LP-Gas is mishandled, or if the system is not maintained properly, the results can be
disastrous.
Always follow the safety precautions listed herein and keep your system in perfect working
order. Do not tamper with the LP-Gas system, pressure regulators or appliances.
Check with the factory before drilling holes or attaching objects to walls or floors as
gas lines may be seriously damaged. A qualified technician should do any repairs,
alterations, modifications, or additions. Whenever the piping has been opened, it must
be checked for leaks.
