Savoy SL & LX 5th Wheel & Travel Trailer
LP-Gas tank
Capacity
The recreational vehicle LP-Gas system is designed to accommodate two 30 pound (7.08 gallons) storage
tanks. This is the only approved size for use.
Filling
Woodall’s Campground and Trailer Guide
and other publications list refueling stations. Many travel parks
sell LP-Gas. Shut off the pilot lights, appliances and igniters before filling the LP-Gas tank to prevent a fire or
explosion. Have a trained service technician fill the LP-Gas tank.
The LP-Gas tank fill is located on the top of the LP-Gas tank. Caution the service technician, if the tank is
new and being filled for the first time, to purge any air from the tank before filling. When the tank is filled to
the proper level there is space available for the conversion of liquid into gas. If a tank is over-filled it may vent
pressure. When this happens, a strong rotten egg odor near the tank and/or a hissing noise may exist.
WARNING:
Turn off all pilot lights and appliances while filling the LP-Gas tank to prevent a fire or
explosion.
LP-Gas exists in both the liquid and vapor state in the LP-Gas tank. A Full tank is about 80% liquid. The
pressure inside the tank varies with the temperature of the liquid. All tanks are required to be equipped with a
pressure relief device. The purpose of the relief valve is to release gas or liquid caused by overpressurization.
WARNING:
Do not store or transport empty LP-Gas tanks, portable tanks, gasoline or other flammable
liquids inside the recreational vehicle. Keep open flame and spark producing materials away
from the LP-Gas area. Shut off all appliances and LP-Gas tank valves (located on the top of
each LP-Gas tank) when the recreational vehicle is in storage. If this warning is ignored a
fire or explosion could result.
CAUTION:
Pressure inside LP-Gas tanks can reach over 300 psi when exposed to direct sunlight. A high
pressure safety relief valve will purge excess high pressure if necessary. LP-Gas will stop
vaporizing as the LP-Gas tank temperature approaches -40º F. Appliances which consume
large amounts of LP-Gas, such as the water heater or furnace, will need to be operated in
sequence in extremely cold environments.
Never transport the recreational vehicle without the straps securing both
tanks. Close the LP-Gas primary shut-off valve, hand tight. Shut off pilot
lights, appliances and igniters before filling the LP-Gas tanks to prevent
a fire or explosion. Disconnect the hose from the LP-Gas tank (left hand
thread). Loosen the strap to release the tank.
Remove the tank and have a trained service technician fill the LP-Gas
tank. Caution the supplier not to overfill the tank. Place the full tank into
the carrier and secure. Re-connect the hose to the tank. Open the primary
shut-off valve and check for leaks.
