LP-Gas system
This section contains information and knowledge for the operation and care
of the various Liquefied Petroleum (LP-Gas) system equipment found in the
recreational vehicle. The recreational vehicle is equipped with several appliances
and various equipment which are capable to operate on LP-Gas. Some items
discussed may not be applicable to all units. More detailed information with
CAUTION
or
WARNING
instructions for the various equipment, other than
what is found in this section, can be found in the manufacturer’s manual in the
owner’s information box.
All components for the recreational vehicle LP-Gas systems are approved
for use in recreational vehicles by a nationally recognized testing laboratory.
When properly handled, LP-Gas is a clean-burning dependable fuel for heat
producing components. The tank mounted in the recreational vehicle contains
liquid petroleum gas which is under high pressure. As the fuel is used, liquid
gas vaporizes and passes through the primary shut-off valve to a regulator
that automatically reduces pressure. Low-pressure gas is then distributed to
components through a pipe manifold system.
Component lighting problems are commonly caused by an improperly adjusted gas regulator. Do not attempt
to reset the regulator. Adjustments need to be made by a dealer or an authorized service technician.
In higher elevations or extreme cold weather (10° F/-21° C or lower) a shortage of LP-Gas may be
experienced. Usage can be modified by running only one component at a time. For example, turn off the furnace
while using the range. If LP-Gas is going to be used in higher elevations or cold climates for a long period of
time, have an authorized service technician adjust the LP-Gas regulator for these conditions.
Have the LP-Gas system checked by an authorized dealer at least once a year, and thereafter before every
extended trip. Although the manufacturer and the dealer test the system carefully for leakage, travel vibrations can
loosen fittings.
Leaks can be easily found by applying a leak detector solution on all connections. Leaks can usually be
repaired by tightening the fittings. If not, close the primary shut-off valve at the tank. Immediately see an
authorized dealer for repairs. Hand tighten the primary shut-off valves only. Do not use a wrench or pliers as over
tightening may damage valve seats and cause leaks. If a leak is suspected (which can be easily identified by the
odor of rotten eggs or sulfur) never light a match, have an open flame or use any spark producing equipment or
appliance.
WARNING:
LP-Gas is highly volatile and extremely explosive. Do not use matches or a flame to test
for leaks. Use only approved LP-Gas leak testing solutions for leak detection. Unapproved
solutions can damage copper tubing and brass fittings. A liquid dish detergent solution of 10
parts water may be used. Shake the solution until bubbles form and then apply the mixed
solution to fittings and accessory control valves. All fittings tested should be thoroughly
rinsed and dried after testing. Never attempt to adjust LP-Gas regulators. Only qualified
technicians should perform maintenance or repair to the LP-Gas system.
LP-Gas Detector
The LP-Gas detector is provided for safety and will detect the presence of LP-Gas. Liquefied Petroleum Gas
(LP-Gas) is heavier than air and will settle to the lowest point (generally the floor) of the recreational vehicle.
