supply is limited due to the size of the recreation vehicle, and proper ventilation when
using the cooking appliance(s) will avoid danger of asphyxiation. It is especially impor-
tant that cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating, as the danger of asphyxiation
is greater when the appliance is used for long periods of time.
Checking for Leaks
Please refer to Chapter 1, “Safety in Using LP Gas.”
IF YOU SMELL GAS
1. Make sure everyone is out of the RV.
2. Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights, and all smoking materials.
3. Do not touch electrical switches.
4. Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply connection.
5. Open doors and other ventilating openings.
6. Leave area until odor clears.
7. Have the gas system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
LP Gas Consumption
Most gas appliances are operated intermittently. Unless there is heavy use of hot water,
the water heater consumption is minimal. During freezing weather and high wind
conditions, furnace consumption can be extremely high.
LP gas consumption depends upon individual use of appliances and the length of time
operated. Each gallon (3.86 liters) of LP gas produces about 91,500 BTUs (46,514
kilojoules) of heat energy. Following is a list of typical appliance consumption when
turned on fully for one hour of operation:

NOTE:
This chart is an example of a typical system and may not represent the
exact system in your particular unit.
If you have double bottles on your travel trailer, use only one at a time. Otherwise the gas
supply will be drawn equally from both bottles until the supply has been totally
exhausted. Using one bottle until it is empty, then using the second bottle will allow you
to fill the empty bottle at your convenience without being totally out of propane.
