withstand pressures exceeding those of the
propane system. However, because
environment and time can both contribute to
the deterioration of these components, they
must be inspected for wear at regular
intervals as part of your RV maintenance.
Inspect all the hoses before each season and
when having the tank refilled. Look for signs
of deterioration such as cracks or loss of
flexibility. When replacing a hose or other
propane components, make sure to always
replace them with components of the same
type and rating (check with your dealer).
Fittings are used to connect the various
system components to each other. The P.O.L.
fitting at the end of the propane supply hose is
made of brass so that pipe sealants are not
necessary to prevent leaking. It also has a
left-handed thread, which means that it is
turned clockwise to remove, and counter-
clockwise to tighten. The P.O.L. fitting has
been designed to help restrict the flow of LP
gas in the event of a regulator failure or hose
malfunction.

After the RV is completely set up and you are
prepared for camping enjoyment, use the
following steps for propane operation:
•
Close ALL burner valves, controls and
pilot light valves.
•
Open the main valve at the propane
cylinder slowly to avoid a fast rush of
propane vapor through the excess flow
valve causing propane “freeze-up.” Should
you experience propane “freeze-up,” close
the main valve and wait at least 15
minutes before trying again.
•
Listen carefully as propane begins to flow.
If a hissing noise is heard for more than
one or two seconds, close the main valve
and contact your dealer to have the
propane system tested.
•
Make sure that you read and fully
understand ALL safety requirements for
handling and operation of the propane
system. Light the appliances as needed
and directed by the appropriate appliance
manufacturer (refer to your warranty
packet information).
•
When you have double cylinders on your
RV, use only one at a time. Otherwise, the
propane supply will be drawn equally from
both cylinders until the supply has been
totally exhausted. Using one cylinder until
it is empty, then using the second cylinder
will allow you to fill the empty cylinder at
your convenience without running totally
out of propane.
•
If flooding is predicted for your area, shut
OFF each propane cylinder valve before
the water rises. If a propane system has
been flooded, do not turn it back ON until
it has been checked by your dealer or a
qualified propane service technician.
The propane system provides added benefits
to your camping enjoyment; however, it must
be handled with care. If you have any
questions or concerns, consult with your
dealer, appropriate vendor or Entegra
Customer Service.

It is important to remember that most RV
furnaces, refrigerators, water heaters and
ranges may all use propane to operate. Each
appliance has a different BTU rating, and you
will need to consider them to determine how
long your propane supply will last. Most RV
gas appliances are operated intermittently.
Propane consumption depends on individual
use of appliances and the length of time
operated.
Do not use portable fuel-burning
equipment, including wood and charcoal
grills and stoves, inside the RV. The use of
these items inside a RV may cause fires or
asphyxiation (inability to breathe).
