Trek Owner’s Manual

Periodically have the LP-Gas supplier check the system for possible gas leaks or miss-
ing/damaged parts. Practice safety at all times. If you have questions about the operation
of your appliances or LP-Gas system, contact your local LP-Gas dealer or RV service
center.
WARNING: If you smell the garlic-like odor of LP-Gas in your coach, immediately
do the following:
• Extinguish any open flames.
• Open all windows.
• Do not operate any electrical switches - including the fan.
• Turn off the vapor valves on the LP-Gas tank.
• Leave the coach. Do not return until the gas has dissipated. Remember
that the gas will linger near the ground.
• Call a service center, dealer, or gas supplier. Have the system checked
and the leak corrected before using again.
• If the odor is outside the coach, most of the same procedures apply.
Shut off the gas supply at the tank and get assistance.
NOTE: Whenever using the gas range, turn on the exhaust fan or open the overhead
vent to allow fumes to escape, and open nearby windows.
Never use portable cooking equipment, such as wood or charcoal grills or gas camping
stoves, in your coach. Such equipment is a fire and safety hazard.

The LP-Gas tank is located in a compartment behind the front tires on the passenger side
of your coach. There are two kinds of LP tanks - one for gas-powered and one for diesel-
powered Treks.
The tank has four valves - a fill valve, a pressure-relief valve, a vapor valve and a liquid
valve that connect to the generator. It also has a gauge that indicates the current amount of
fuel in the tank.
