Section 7: Fuel & Propane System
Windows should be closed while driving or running the generator (if so equipped) to
avoid drawing dangerous exhaust gases into the motor home.
If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the passenger compartment, have the
cause determined and corrected as soon as possible.
If you must drive under these circumstances, close all the windows, and adjust the heating
or cooling system to force outside air into the motor home (set the blower on high speed).
The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the motor home is a properly
maintained ventilation system and an active carbon monoxide detector. To allow for proper
operation of the motor home ventilation system, keep the ventilation inlet grill(s) clear of
snow, leaves or other obstructions at all times.
Maintenance
It is recommended that the exhaust system and vehicle body be inspected by a qualified
motor home service center:
Each time the engine is ready for an oil change.
Whenever a change in the sound of the exhaust is noticed.
Whenever the exhaust system, underbody or rear of the vehicle is damaged.
For more information refer to your Chassis Guide.
Propane Gas System (If so equipped)
Propane or LP (liquefied petroleum) gas is an efficient form of energy when proper handling
and safety precautions are observed. The propane system in your motor home furnishes the
fuel for cooking, heating, hot water and can be an alternative energy source for refrigeration.
Propane is heavier than air and tends to flow to lower areas and will sometimes pocket in
these low areas, such as the floor. Your motor home is equipped with a propane alarm (refer
to
Safety Precautions,
Combination Carbon Monoxide (CO)/Propane Alarm).
The propane fuel system is comprised of numerous components such as the propane
container, hoses, the propane gas regulator, piping and copper tubing to each appliance.
Your motor home has been carefully tested at the factory and by your selling dealer for
leakage, travel vibrations can loosen fittings. Have the vehicle propane system checked
at all connections soon after the purchase of your vehicle, and after the initial filling of the
propane tanks.
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.
Propane cylinders should not be placed or stored inside the vehicle. LP-gas
cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve pressure by discharging
gas into the atmosphere.
