and economical and provides modern living
conveniences wherever you travel.
See Section 2 - Safety and Precautions in this
manual for other safety and precautions you need

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. The tank is
accessible only from the outside of the vehicle.
