PROPANE & SAFETY SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a propane system which, when properly handled and maintained, will provide
trouble and worry free operation of your propane fueled appliances.
Propane fuel is stored in a liquid state under extremely high pressure. As fuel is used, propane gas passes from the
top of the tank through the regulator into the propane gas lines and eventually to all of the propane fueled
appliances.
Although the entire system has undergone extensive factory and dealer testing for leaks, the system’s connections
and fittings are subjected to road vibrations and therefore
should be checked annually for possible leaks by a
licensed propane technician.
Propane fuel is extremely flammable, colourless, heavier than air and smells like garlic or rotten eggs.
IF YOU SMELL PROPANE GAS , extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and smoking materials immediately . Do
not touch any electrical switches. Leave the vehicle, shut off the gas supply at the propane tank valve and open
doors and windows to provide maximum ventilation. Leave the area until the odor clears. Have the system
inspected and the leak corrected before further use.
The propane fuel tank valve must be open to operate the propane fueled appliances.
WARNING: Propane tanks are not to be placed or stored inside your vehicle. Propane tanks are equipped with
safety devices which will relieve excessive pressure by discharging gas into the atmosphere.
WARNING: To reduce the danger of fire or explosion do not store gasoline or other flammable liquids inside your
vehicle.
WARNING: Ensure that you purchase propane from a reputable propane facility. Contaminated propane is a
common cause of system failure that is not covered by warranty.
WARNING: Follow all recommended maintenance schedules.
PROPANE TANK:
To open and close the propane tank, use the manual propane tank shutoff valve located on the propane tank,
accessible from the driver side access door.
It is recommended to close the propane tank shutoff valve when the vehicle is not in daily use. Further, it is
recommended to close the propane shutoff valve while the vehicle is in travel and refueling.
The refrigerator must be operated on 12 volt only when the vehicle is in travel. See refrigerator
Manufacturers Owner Manual for proper 12 volt operation.
APPLIANCES:
WARNING: It is not safe to use cooking appliances for space heating purposes due to the danger of asphyxiation.
WARNING: The propane stove needs fresh air for its safe operation.
Because the amount of air supply is limited by the size of your vehicle, before operating the propane stove, open
the overhead power roof vent or a window for increased air circulation, (see Floor Plan & Appliance Location).
Proper ventilation when using the propane stove will reduce the dangers of asphyxiation.
WARNING: Portable fuel burning equipment, including wood and charcoal grills and stoves, should not be used
inside your vehicle. Use of this equipment inside your vehicle, may cause fire or asphyxiation.
See appropriate component Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manuals for operating instructions.
