If the alarm sounds
1. EVERYONE should exit the fifth wheel. Allow the inside of the coach to vent by opening windows, etc. Then
meet your family at the safety location that you established.
2. On the LP tank valve, there is a shut off switch to stop the gas supply. This shuts off the water heater, furnace,
stove, etc.
3. DO NOT use/touch electronics including phones or touch anything that has an electrical switch.
Until the problem is fixed, DO NOT go in your RV.
4. DO NOT access any generator or engine.
5. For gas or technical repairs, contact the nearby service area that is qualified in repairing RVs.
If there is not a qualified technician that is able to help for service, then contact the closest fire department.
6. If the propane alarm continues to sound, that might indicate that there is an LP leak.
• Until the leak is corrected, you should not run on gas.
You should contact your local dealer if you would like service on your propane gas before using it.
Testing the propane gas alarm
If you are camping, storing, or traveling frequently, then you should test the gas alarm after each of these events.
7. Once a week, test the propane alarm.
8. Replace the alarm instantly if it does not pass the test.
9. Press the test button to reset.
10. The alarm will sound two times.
11. To get back to normal operations, the light will turn red for eight seconds, then it will proceed to turn green
once it is reset.
Battery or converter power source
When the alarm has lower voltage, it will not be able to reveal the threatening levels of the LP. If the volt falls below
8, the warning signal will sound. The auxiliary battery or converter runs the 12-volt DC for the propane alarm. Al-
though it is a small draw, it is still able to use the auxiliary battery at a high amount.
