Propane gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators that
are not in compartments have been equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that the regulator vent
faces downward and the cover is kept in place to minimize vent blockage which could result in excessive gas
pressure causing fire or explosion.
Portable fuel burning equipment including wood or charcoal burning grills and
stoves should not be used inside the motor home because they may cause fire
or asphyxiation.
FIRE SAFETY
Fire safety is an important part of owning a motor home. Make sure that everyone traveling in the motor
home is familiar with the location of exits, including emergency exit windows should an emergency arise. The
following basic rules of fire prevention can help eliminate the possibility of a fire:
• Never store flammable liquids within the motor home.
• Keep cooking surfaces clean.
• Never clean with a flammable liquid.
• Never leave cooking food unattended.
• Never smoke in bed, and always use an ashtray.
• Never allow children to play with Propane gas or electrical equipment.
• Never use an open flame as a flashlight.
• Always repair faulty or damaged wiring and electrical components.
• Never overload electrical circuits.
• Locate and repair Propane gas leaks immediately.
• Don’t allow rubbish to accumulate.
• Spray fabrics annually with a flame retardant.
If a fire does start, make sure to follow these basic rules of safety:
1. Have everyone evacuate the motor home as quickly as possible.
2. After everyone is clear, check the fire to see if you can attempt to put it out. If it is too large,
or the fire is fuel fed, get clear of the motor home and have the fire department handle the
emergency.
3. Do NoT attempt to use water to put out the fire. Water can spread some types of fire, and
electrocution is possible with an electrical fire.
Do NoT STorE ProPaNE CoNTaINErS INSIDE ThE MoTor hoME. Propane
containers are equipped with safety devices which relieve excessive pressure
by discharging gas to the atmosphere. Failure to comply could result in
explosion resulting in death or serious injury.
