SECTION 5 – PROPANE GAS
PROPANE GAS SUPPLY
The propane gas system supplies fuel for the
gas range/oven, 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.
See Section 2 of this manual for other safety
and precautions you need to be aware of related
to propane.
How Propane Gas Works
Propane is a type of LP (Liquefied Petroleum)
gas compressed into liquid form for easy
transportation and storage. Propane gas may also
be 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
permanently attached to the vehicle frame. The
tank is accessible only from the outside of the
vehicle.
Main Tank Valve Switch
-If Equipped
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 monitor panel when
you need to open or close gas flow from the
propane tank.

WARNING
Do not alter or remove propane tank
valves or gauge. Propane can escape,
which can cause an explosion resulting in
death or serious injury. Have the propane
system serviced by a qualified service
center.
