SECTION 6
FUEL & LP SYSTEM
Keep the propane container valves closed at
all times unless you are using the propane
gas system or are having the propane
container filled.
Make sure that you read and fully
understand ALL safety requirements for
handling and operation of the propane
system.
The Warranty Packet contains
manufacturer’s user guides for the various
appliances hooked to your propane system.
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 and/or the specific manufacturer.
If you have double cylinders on your motor
home, 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
.

It is important to remember that your furnace,
refrigerator, water heater and range all may
use propane to operate. Each 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. Unless there is
heavy use of hot water, the water heater
consumption of propane is minimal. During
cool temperature or high wind conditions,
furnace consumption can be extremely high.
To calculate your propane supply, take the
BTU ratings for your propane appliances and
divide that into the BTU availability. Each
gallon of propane (3.86 liters) produces about
91,500 BTU’s (46,514 kilojoules) of heat
energy.

AS
Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is
limited due to the size of the recreation
vehicle. Proper ventilation when using the
cooking appliance(s) will help you avoid the
danger of asphyxiation.
It is especially
important 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.
FAILURE
TO
COMPLY MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY.
The following warning labels are located in
the cooking area to remind the user to provide
an adequate supply of fresh air for
combustion.
WARNING
:
IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE COOKING
APPLAINCES FOR COMFORT HEATING.
Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe
operation
Before operation:
1. Open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan.
2. Open
Window
