Operation
After the camper is completely set up and you are prepared for camping enjoyment,
follow these steps for LP gas operation.
1. Close ALL burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
2. Open main valve on LP container slowly to avoid fast rush of propane vapor
through excess flow valve causing “gas freeze.” Should you experience a gas
“freeze-up,” close main valve and wait 15 minutes before trying again.
3. Listen carefully as gas begins to flow. If hissing is heard for more than one or two
seconds, close valve and search for leak. (See instructions below.)
4. Light appliances as needed and directed in appliance chapter.
Keep container valve(s) closed when traveling. Some states prohibit traveling with LP
container, especially in underground tunnels on expressways.
WARNING:
Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal
grills and stoves, shall not be used inside the recreation vehicle. The use of this
equipment inside the recreation vehicle may cause fires or asphyxiation.
When an LP tank gets low, sometimes there is a concentration of garlic-like odor which
may be mistaken for a gas leak. After a change over to a full tank, the odor usually will
disappear. If not, turn off the LP and have the system checked by a qualified technician.
Checking for Leaks
Upon delivery and periodically thereafter, check your gas system for possible leaks.
Although the entire distribution system and its attached appliances have undergone
factory testing for leaks, the camper is subject to road vibrations, which can cause
connections and fittings to develop leaks. If you do encounter this odor, turn off all open
flames immediately and begin a systematic search for leaks throughout the gas system.
Use a bubble solution of soapy water,
without ammonia or chlorine
content, on
connections and fittings. (
NEVER USE A MATCH
to check for leaks.) Bubbles will
appear at the leaky points. When tightening connections, use two wrenches with
opposing torque to prevent twisting of copper tubing. If the leak doesn’t show up in the
manifold or copper tubing distribution systems, check the appliances.
