Liquid Propane Gas System
LP (Liquified Petroleum) gas is a colorless gas compressed into liquid form for easy transportation and storage.
It is the energy source for your range, oven, furnace, water heater, and an alternate energy source for your refrigerator.
LP gas is an excellent fuel source and both safe and economical when used properly.
These instructions are provided as a general guideline only and may not be complete. To ensure proper service and
safety, always take your Motorhome to an authorized Leisure Travel Vans Dealer service center.
Caution
LP Valve Gas Control (Utility Center)
The switch (1) opens and closes the LP gas valve. If
there is no 12 volt DC power available in the Motorhome,
the LP gas valve will automatically close.
Safe Use Of LP Gas
The LP gas system is designed and built to adhere
to federal government and industry regulation
requirements.
Many safety devices and backup systems have been
installed in your Motorhome to improve safety and
reliability. These devices and systems include: tank
overflow valves, LP gas detector, and carbon monoxide
(CO) detectors. LP gas also contains an odor additive so
that it can be more easily detected.
