LP-Gas System
2004 • LaPalma
The LP-Gas System section contains information and knowledge for the
operation and care of the various Liquefied Petroleum (LP-Gas) system
equipment found in the motorhome. The motorhome is equipped with several
appliances and various equipment which are capable to operate on LP-Gas.
Some items discussed may not be applicable to all motorhomes. 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 manufacturer’s manual in the owner’s information box.
All components for the motorhome LP-Gas systems are approved for use
in recreational vehicles by a nationally recognized testing laboratory. When
properly handled, LP-Gas is a clean-burning dependable fuel for heat
producing components. The LP-Gas tank mounted in the motorhome
contains liquid petroleum gas that is under high pressure. As the fuel is used,
liquid gas vaporizes and passes through the tank valve to a regulator that
automatically reduces pressure. Low-pressure gas is then distributed to
components through a pipe manifold system.
Component lighting problems are commonly caused by an improperly
adjusted gas regulator. Do not attempt to reset the regulator. Adjustments
need to be made by a dealer or an authorized service person.
In higher elevations or extreme cold weather (10° F/-21° C or lower) a
shortage of LP-Gas may be experienced. Usage can be modified by
running only one component at a time. For example, turn off the furnace
while using the range. If LP-Gas is going to be used in higher elevations or
cold climates for a long period of time, have an authorized service person
adjust the LP-Gas regulator for these conditions.
Have the LP-Gas system checked by an authorized dealer at least once a
year, and thereafter before every extended trip. Although the manufacturer and
the dealer test the system carefully for leakage, travel vibrations can loosen
fittings.
Leaks can be easily found by applying a leak detector solution on all
connections. Leaks can usually be repaired by tightening the fittings. If not,
shut off the main gas valve at the tank. Immediately see an authorized dealer
for repairs. Hand tighten the tank valves only. Do not use a wrench or pliers
as over tightening may damage valve seats and cause leaks. If a leak is
suspected (which can be easily identified by the odor of rotten eggs or sulfur)
never light a match, have an open flame or use any spark producing
equipment or appliance.
WARNING: LP-Gas is highly volatile and extremely
explosive. DO NOT use matches or a flame to test for leaks.
Use only approved LP-Gas leak testing solution for leak
detection. Unapproved solutions can damage copper tubing
and brass fittings. Never attempt to adjust LP-Gas
regulators. Only qualified personnel should perform any
maintenance or repair to the LP-Gas system.
