MOTOR HOME SERIAL NUMBER DECAL AND DATA
PLATES
The motor home serial number label is mounted on the inside wall next to the driver’s seat on a Class A motor
home and on the inside of the driver’s door post on a Mini motor home. Refer to the chassis owner’s manual
for the location of the chassis vehicle identification number on all motorized motor homes.
Note: Always give model, year, and the V.I.N. number information when ordering parts.
Also, we recommend that you keep a copy of this information separate from the
motor home in the event theft or vandalism requires you to supply a copy to the
authorities.
Decals and data plates used throughout the motor home aid in its safe and efficient operation; others give
service instructions. Read all decals, data, and instruction plates before operating your motor home.
Note: When any decal, data, or instruction plate is damaged, painted over, removed, etc.;
the item should be replaced immediately.
SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR PROPANE GAS SYSTEMS
AND APPLIANCES
The following warnings are posted throughout the motor home to provide information on Propane safety. They
have been installed not only because of the requirement to do so, but also as a constant reminder to occupants
of the motor home to exercise proper caution when using or being around Propane appliances and equipment.
We are listing them here so you may study them and make sure that you and your family understand and
follow them.

Warning labels are located in the cooking area to remind you to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for
combustion. Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the motor home, and
proper ventilation when using the cooking appliances will avoid dangers of asphyxiation.
Over-filling the Propane gas tank can result in uncontrolled gas flow which can cause fire or explosion. A
properly filled tank will contain approximately 80% of its volume as liquid Propane. An 80% automatic shut-off
valve is installed on the Propane gas tank which will automatically prevent further filling when the gas volume
has reached 80% of tank capacity.
