Propane or LP
(liquefied petroleum
)
gas is a clean and efficient form of energy
when proper handling and safety precautions are observed. The propane system
in your RV furnishes the fuel for cooking, heating and hot water. Propane can also
be used as an alternative energy source for refrigeration
The propane fuel system is comprised of numerous components such as
the propane container, hoses, the propane gas regulator, piping and copper
tubing lines to each appliance.
Propane is heavier than air; the gas tends to flow to lower areas and will
sometimes pocket in these low areas, such as the floor. Your RV is equipped with
a propane alarm (refer to
Sec. 2 Safety Precautions,
Combination Carbon
Monoxide (CO)/Propane Alarm.)
Maintenance
Although both Jayco and your selling dealer carefully test for leakage, travel
vibrations can loosen fittings. Have the propane system checked at all
connections soon after the purchase of your RV, and after the initial filling of the
propane tanks.
NOTE:
All propane lines have been checked with air pressure at the time of
manufacture. Dealers are required to recheck and adjust pressure before retail
delivery.
Continued periodic checks of the propane system at 5,000 miles of travel (or at
least once a year), by a qualified propane service representative as part of your
normal maintenance is recommended.
Hand tighten the LP gas system valves only, do not use a wrench or pliers as over
tightening may damage the valve seals and cause them to leak.

Leaks may be found easily with a soapy water solution. Do not use a solution
containing ammonia or chlorine when locating leaks. These products are
corrosive to copper gas lines and brass fittings, which could result in deterioration
of the copper and brass components.
Apply the soapy solution to the outside of the gas piping fittings. If a leak is
present, the soapy solution will “bubble” at the leak point.
If a leak is indicated, shut off the propane system valve(s) and contact an
independent Jayco dealer or qualified propane service representative immediately.
WARNING
Propane cylinders should not be placed or stored inside RV. LP-gas
cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve pressure by
discharging gas into the atmosphere.
DANGER
Never use an open flame to test for a propane leak.
Do not check for leaks
using products that contain ammonia or chlorine; these products can cause
cracks to form on the metal tubing and brass fittings
