LP-Gas exists in both the liquid and vapor state with the LP-Gas tank. A “Full”
tank is approximately 80% liquid. The pressure inside the tank varies with the tem-
perature of the liquid. All tanks are required to be equipped with a pressure relief
device. The purpose of the relief valve is to release gas or liquid caused by overpres-
suraztion. You will notice the gauge at the tank, when full, will only read 3/4. Your
monitor panel is adjusted to indicate FULL at this point.
If you are storing portable LP-Gas tanks (do not transport or store LP-Gas tanks,
gasoline or other flammable liquids inside the motorhome) that are not connected to
an LP-Gas system. Install an approved plug in the tank outlet holes to prevent leaks.
Do not store empty LP-Gas tanks. Keep open flame and spark producing materials
away from the LP-Gas area. If this warning is ignored, a fire or explosion could
result. Shut off all appliances and LP-Gas tank valves (located on side of LP-Gas
tank underneath the motorhome) when the motorhome is in storage.

The regulator is the heart of an LP-Gas system. The
LP-Gas in the tank is under high pressure. The regulator
reduces the pressure of gas so that it is safe to use with
various appliances. The regulator on the motorhome is a
two-stage regulator. Simply put, the first stage regulator
reduces the full tank pressure down to a range of 10-13
psig. The second stage further reduces the pressure
down to an outlet pressure of 0.4 psig (11 inches of
column water). The regulator is equipped with a vent so
that it can breathe. This means that if pressure in the LP
tank is too high the regulator will allow gas to escape
through the vent until pressure returns to a normal
range. It is important to keep the vent clean and clear of
obstructions or corrosion. If the vent becomes clogged,
pressure from LP tank could cause a failure of the com-
ponents. If you notice any corrosion, contact a qualified
LP-Gas service technician. The regulator is mounted so
that the vent faces downward. If the vent becomes
clogged you can clean it with a toothbrush.
Under normal atmospheric conditions a LP regulator
will not freeze, nor will the LP-Gas. The gas passing
through the regulator will expand and cool creating
moisture in the gas. This moisture will turn to ice which
can build up and partially or totally block the orifice.
The possibilities of freeze up is greatly reduced with the
two stage regulator.
