pROpANE SYSTEM
The recreational vehicle is
equipped with propane fueled
appliances. This section contains
operating instructions and safety information
on the propane system. Some items discussed
may not be applicable to all models. More
detailed information with CAUTION or
WARNING instructions for the various
equipment, other than what is found in this
section, can be found in the OEM manuals in
the owner’s information file.
NOTE:
Some appliance displays and appliance
manuals may refer to LP-Gas as a
fuel source; however, the actual type
of fuel required for these appliances
is propane. The phrase “LP-Gas” is
synonymous with not only propane,
but butane and propane/butane
mixtures. Since propane is the actual
fuel required, the term “Propane” will
be used throughout this manual except
for references to third party appliances
(such as the refrigerator) that include
the term “LP-Gas” on their displays or
other literature.
All components for the recreational vehicle
propane systems are approved for use in
recreational vehicles. When properly handled,
propane is a clean-burning dependable fuel for
heat producing appliances. The propane tanks
mounted on the recreational vehicle contain
liquid propane under high pressure. As the
fuel is used, the liquid vaporizes to a gas and
passes through the primary shut-off valve.
A regulator reduces high pressure gas to a
low pressure gas then distributed to appliances
through a manifold system.
Appliance lighting problems is commonly
caused by air in the lines or a faulty gas
regulator.
Never
attempt to adjust the
regulator. Regulator adjustments need to be
made by a dealer or an authorized service
technician using specialized measuring
devices.
In higher elevations (above 5,000 ft.) or
extreme cold weather (10° F/-21° C or lower),
a shortage of propane may be experienced.
Usage can be modified by running only one
appliance at a time. For example, turn off
the furnace while using the water heater.
If propane is used in higher elevations or
cold climates for a long period of time, have
an authorized service technician adjust the
propane regulator for these environmental
conditions.
Have the propane system checked by an
authorized dealer at least once a year and
before every extended trip. Although the
propane system is tested carefully for leakage
at the factory and the dealer, road vibrations
can loosen fittings.
WARNING:
When storing portable propane tanks
that are not connected to a propane
system, install an approved plug in
the tank outlet hole to prevent leaks.
Do not store or transport propane
tanks, portable tanks, gasoline or other
flammable liquids in the interior of the
recreational vehicle. Keep open flame
and spark producing materials away
from the propane area. Shut off all
appliances and the primary propane
tank valve when the recreational
vehicle is in storage. If this warning
is ignored, a fire or explosion could
result.
