Basic Rules For LPG Safety

Do not store LPG tanks within a vehicle. LPG
tanks are equipped with safety devices that vent
gas should the pressure become excessive.
Do not use cooking appliances for comfort
heating. Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe
operation. Before operation, open an overhead
vent or turn on an exhaust fan and open a window.
A warning label is displayed in the cooking area
reminding you to provide an adequate supply of fresh
air for combustion The amount of oxygen supply in a
trailer is limited due to its compact design When using
the cooking appliances, proper ventilation will prevent
dangers of asphyxiation It is especially important that
cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating
as the danger of asphyxiation is greater when the
appliance is used for long periods of time
Portable fuel burning equipment, including wood
and charcoal grills and stoves, shall not be used
inside the recreational vehicle. The use of this
equipment inside the recreational vehicle may
cause fires or asphyxiation.
A warning label has been located near the
LPG container. This label reads: DO NOT FILL
CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF
CAPACITY. Overfilling the LPG container can result
in uncontrolled gas flow, which can cause fire or
explosion. A properly filled container will contain
approximately 80 percent of its volume as LPG.
Do not bring or store LPG tanks, gasoline, or other
flammable liquids inside the vehicle because a fire
or explosion may result.

hitch A-frame of your trailer An LPG supply line is
shipped with the trailer in the loose parts box This can
be used to connect a lantern or other appliance that
