SECTION 5 –

PROPANE GAS

run on propane only, we recommend that 
you request straight propane only. 
Butane burns about 30 percent hotter 
than propane and can overheat some 
appliances, particularly refrigerators, 
and cause permanent damage. Other 
appliances designed to operate on 
propane can become sooted and lose 
efficiency by using butane fuel.

Air in the Propane Gas Tank

If your gas appliances do not stay lit or require 

frequent adjustment, even though you know the 
propane tank contains sufficient fuel, the 
problem may be air in the propane gas tank. Air 
in the tank mixes with the propane gas vapors 
causing them to burn poorly. This condition 
could linger for weeks if the air is not purged 
from the tank. Most propane gas dealers have 
equipment for purging air from propane gas tanks 
and will purge before refilling the tank.

PROPANE ACCESSORY 

CONNECTION

Your motorhome is featured with a Propane 

Accessory Connection for your convenience, to 
connect items such as a portable BBQ grill.

This connection is on the low pressure side of 

the propane gas pressure regulator. Portable 
appliances which have an additional or built-in 
regulator may not operate correctly.

The Propane Accessory Connection is 

provided with a shut-off valve that has on/off 
indicator arrows. Rotate the shut-off valve 
“clockwise” to turn gas supply OFF. Rotate the 
shut-off valve “counter-clockwise” to turn gas 
supply ON.

See 

Section 2 - Safety and Precautions

 in this 

manual for other safety and precautions you need 
to be aware of related to propane.

CAUTION

Turn valve off when not in use.
Secure cap to outlet when not in use.
After turning on gas, test gas piping 
connections to appliance for leakage with 
soapy water or bubble solution.
Do not use products that contain 
ammonia or chlorine.
