Requirements for Safe Energy Use
Since the appliances and entertainment devices installed in your motorhome require portions of the propane
and electrical system for proper operation, follow all safety-related messages concerning safe propane and
electrical system use.
Propane Requirements
In order to function properly, gas appliances will require a safe and reliable source of propane gas (LP). Your
motorhome is furnished with a propane system that is designed to deliver an ample supply of propane for the
water heater, furnace, and all factory-installed gas-fired appliances.
Propane gas pressures are factory set to 11 inches of water column. Do not adjust or bypass the gas regulator
or modify any component of the propane system. If you experience problems with your gas appliances or
any propane system component, promptly have a qualified propane service technician inspect the propane
system make all necessary repairs.
Propane Safety
Familiarize yourself and follow all propane gas safety procedures listed within this document, the TMC
Propane Gas System Guide, your Owner’s Manual, and the documentation associated with all gas and
electrical appliances of your motorhome.

1. Extinguish any open flames and all smoking materials.
2. Shut off the propane supply at the container valve(s) or propane supply connection.
3. Do not touch electrical switches.
4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.
5. Leave the area until the odor clears.
6.
Have the propane system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
Ignition of flammable vapors could lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury.
