Alarms and Warnings
CO Monitor
Your vehicle has been equipped with a combination propane leak and carbon monoxide detection
device for your protection. It is located slightly above floor level directly behind the rear bathroom
door. Be sure the detector is operating while using your vehicle, especially when you are asleep inside
it. When storing things on the floor, do not block air circulation to the propane leak detector. You
should be able to see it at all times from the front of the vehicle.
The detector runs on 12 volt power, and is operational whenever the battery disconnect switch is on.
There is no separate switch for the detector. There is an indicator light on the detector so that you
can tell whether it's working or not. For this reason, whenever the vehicle is occupied the battery
disconnect switch should be on the "on" position.
Coach power on the Monitor Panel must be on for detector operation. Make sure your
battery disconnect switch is on.
Do not disable, unplug, or otherwise hinder the operation of this detector or the smoke
detector.
The detector has a useful service life, beyond which it needs to be replaced. See Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual for
other operating instructions, or look for the sticker which is sometimes placed
on the detector to see
the replacement date.
The detector may chirp if the coach batteries are running low.
Smoke Detector
The smoke alarm is located to the right of the Monitor Panel. It requires a commonly available 9 volt battery and periodic
replacement of both the battery and the unit as a whole. Please refer to the Owner's Manual for the unit in your vehicle.
Fire Extinguisher
Your Roadtrek comes equipped with a dry chemical fire extinguisher suitable for all fires. Before every trip, check to see
that the needle on the dial is in the green range. If not, replace the fire extinguisher. DO NOT test your fire extinguisher by
discharging it - total discharge time is 8 to 12 seconds, so it will become rapidly depleted if you test it this way. Service life
on fire extinguishers currently supplied is 12 years; replace the fire extinguisher if it is more than 12 years past the year of
manufacture stamped on the base of the cylinder.
