Propane is an efficient, inexpensive, portable fuel that burns readily with intense heat. It is used for cooking,
heating, and refrigeration. The propane systems in your TLRV camper are designed and built to rigid
standards and are tested before leaving the factory for leakage. Beyond tightening connections and checking for
leaks, an authorized propane supplier should perform propane system maintenance.
LP GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR
The LP pressure regulator reduces the high pressure vaporized LP down to a pressure of an 11” water column.
At this pressure, LP gas is piped to and used by the various LP gas fired appliances. Correct line pressure is
important to appliance operation. Line pressure should be checked at least every 6 months. Most propane
suppliers have the equipment needed to do this check. Do not make any adjustments to the LP gas pressure
regulator. Adjustments should only be made by an authorized LP gas service technician.
LP TANKS
The LP gas tanks are tested high-pressure cylinders. LP gas is stored in these tanks under high pressure, which
maintains the LP gas in a liquid/vapor condition. The 10% valve or pressure relief valve has been placed on the
top of the tank so that it will always be in the vapor area. If the tank is over filled or if the temperature of the tank
is raised, this valve will release. This valve should be HAND TIGHTENED ONLY .
FILLING LP GAS TANKS
1. Be sure that all the appliances are off.
2. Close the tank valve on the empty tank.
3. Disconnect the bottle.
4. Loosen the clamp holding the tank to the unit.
5. Remove tank from unit; keep in an upright position.
6. Have the tank filled by an authorized LP gas technician.
7. Observe labels and tags.
LP (LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM) PROPANE GAS SYSTEM
DO NOT FILL CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80% OF CAPACITY
Overfilling the LP gas container can result in uncontrolled gas flow, which could result in fire or an explosion.
A properly filled container will contain approximately 80% of its volume as liquid LP gas.
LP GAS TANK INSTALLATION
1. To avoid explosion, when reinstalling your LP tank, be sure that all valves are off
and pilot lights out before you open the service valve on your refilled bottle.
2. Position filled tank.
3. Engage the spud-nut service connector to main tank valve. IMPORTANT: THIS IS LEFT HAND THREAD.
4. Tighten nut snugly with wrench. DO NOT USE PLIERS. IMPORTANT:
This is a mechanical brass seal; it does not require pipe sealer.
5. Secure tank.
6. Check all tank and line connections to be sure they are tight.
7. Observe all labels and tags.
LP LINE CHECK The propane lines should be checked for leaks on a regular basis.
1. Turn off burners and pilot lights.
2. Open doors and windows.
3. Open propane bottle service valve.
4. Test all connections with an approved leak detector, or bubbly soapy water. Do not use solutions
with ammonia or chloride, which will attack copper tubing or brass fittings.
Tighten any leaky connections and test for leaks again. If leaking persists, contact your TLRV dealer.
