NOTE: Both switches must be ON to allow
propane supply to the coach. Propane
gas flow can be stopped by turning either
switch OFF. Turn switch OFF when
propane gas supply is not needed to
conserve house battery power.
Refilling Propane Tank
Since the propane tank is permanently
mounted to the frame, the coach must be taken to
a propane dealership for filling. Do not attempt to
remove the propane tank from the vehicle. The
tank is equipped with a fill adapter with both
internal and external threads, which allows easy
filling with any propane filling equipment. The
tank is full when liquid propane gas appears at
the overflow valve.
NOTE: The propane tank is equipped with an
automatic 80% stop-fill device.

WARNING
Do not fill propane container(s) to more
than 80 percent of capacity. A properly
filled container contains approximately 80
percent of its volume as liquid propane.
Overfilling the propane container(s) can
result in uncontrolled propane flow, which
could lead to a fire or explosion and result
in death or serious injury.
DANGER
All pilot lights, appliances, and their
igniters (see operating instructions) shall
be turned off before refueling of motor fuel
tanks and/or propane containers. May
cause ignition of flammable vapors, which
can lead to a fire or explosion and result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING
This propane piping system is designed
for use with propane only.
Do not connect natural gas to this system.
Securely cap inlet when not connected for
use. After turning on propane, except
after normal cylinder replacement, test
propane piping and connections to
appliances for leakage with soapy water
or bubble solution.
Do not use products that contain
ammonia or chlorine to test for leaks. May
lead to a fire or explosion, which could
result in death or serious injury.
