SECTION 5 PROPANE GAS
PROPANE GAS SUPPLY
The propane gas system supplies fuel for the
range, water heater, furnace and refrigerator
(while in gas mode). When used and handled
properly, this system is safe and economical and
provides modern living conveniences wherever
you travel.
How Propane Gas Works
Propane is a type of LP (Liquefied Petroleum)
gas, which is a true gas compressed into liquid
form for easy transportation and storage. Propane
is also called tank gas, bottle gas, or simply LP.
Propane is used by appliances in vapor form
only, but is stored in the tank as a liquid under
very high pressure. As the liquid gas is released,
it reverts back to a vapor and expands to many
times its compressed volume.
Propane Tank System
The storage reservoir for the propane gas system
is a horizontally mounted tank which is perma-
nently attached to the vehicle frame. The tank is
accessible only from the outside of the vehicle.
The tank supply valve is located near the top
center of the tank, next to the regulator. Before
opening the supply valve, check to be sure all
controls for gas appliances are in the “Off” or
“Pilot Off” position. If this step is not performed,
propane gas could accumulate inside the motor
home creating a fire or explosion hazard.
Main Tank Valve Switch
The main tank valve is located out of normal
reach, so a switch is provided on the front of the
tank compartment and on the OnePlace panel
when you need to open or close gas flow from the
propane tank.
