  • Page 67: Calculating Electrical Load

    CLASS C MOTORHOME SECTION 6 – ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WARNING Plugging the shoreline power cord into an incorrectly wired power source could damage the motor home electrical system and result in severe or fatal injury. Occasionally the electrical service provided by a campground may experience low or high voltage (i.e., surges or spikes).
  • Page 68 SECTION 6 - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CLASS C MOTORHOME An unintentional “trip” of a circuit breaker may occur if you overload the motor home and/or campground electrical system. The amperage rating of individual appliances can be calculated by dividing appliance wattage consumed (normally listed on the appliance) by nominal design voltage (120 for a 120-volt appliance).
  • Page 69 Take time to become educated about the property of fuel and use it safely DANGER Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death if misused or mishandled.

    SECTION 7 - FUEL & PROPANE SYSTEM CLASS C MOTORHOME Fig. 7.1 Flammable liquid CONOMY Fuel economy depends on many factors. Your driving habits can significantly affect your fuel economy. Some recommendations for achieving maximum fuel economy are shown:  Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressures.

  • Page 71: Propane Gas System

    Maintenance Although both Jayco and your selling dealer carefully test for leakage, travel vibrations can loosen fittings. Have the vehicle propane system checked at all connections soon after the purchase of your vehicle, and after the initial filling of the propane tanks.

  • Page 72: Propane Leak Test

    Apply the soapy solution to the outside of the gas piping fittings. If a leak is present, the soapy solution will “bubble” at the leak point. If a leak is indicated, shut off the propane system valve(s) and contact an independent Jayco dealer or qualified propane service representative immediately. WARNING Never use an open flame to test for a propane leak.

  • Page 73: Propane Safety Procedures

    After the propane container has been refueled, the odor will usually disappear. If not, turn off the valve(s) and have the propane system inspected by an independent Jayco dealer or qualified propane service representative. This label has been placed in the vehicle near the range, for models equipped with a propane system.
  • Page 74 SECTION 7 - FUEL & PROPANE SYSTEM CLASS C MOTORHOME 1: Propane fill valve; 2: Propane gauge Fig. 7.4 ASME tank Servicing or filling Because the container is not removable, the motor home will need to be driven to a qualified propane facility for servicing or filling. Only the authorized gas service technician(s) should be near the motor home while the propane tank is being filled.
  • Page 75 WARNING If you suspect your propane container has been overfilled, contact your independent Jayco dealer or a qualified propane technician for assistance immediately. Do not attempt to service a propane container overfill yourself. Refer to your Warranty Packet for more information on the LP gas system components.
  • Page 76 SECTION 7 - FUEL & PROPANE SYSTEM CLASS C MOTORHOME ALCULATING ROPANE SAGE It is important to remember that your furnace, refrigerator, water heater and range all may use propane to operate.

  • Page 82 SECTION 8 – PLUMBING SYSTEM CLASS C MOTORHOME WARNING If you smell propane gas then STOP! and follow the procedures listed in the Propane System Section before attempting to operate the water heater. Your motor home is equipped with either a tank or tankless water heater. The following is an overview of both systems.
  • Page 83 CLASS C MOTORHOME SECTION 8 – PLUMBING SYSTEM The DSI water heater is designed to heat water quickly and efficiently. The water heater manufacturer has preset the sensing limit to maintain the water temperature when the water heater is activated. The thermostat on your water heater is not adjustable.
  • Page 84 SECTION 8 – PLUMBING SYSTEM CLASS C MOTORHOME If an anode rod is mostly eaten away, replace it with a new one. The water heater manufacturer recommends replacement of the anode rod when consumption or weight loss is greater than 75 percent. Fig.
  • Page 85 For more information Read the manufacturer’s owner’s manual. If you have further questions contact your RV dealer, the manufacturer, or Jayco Customer Service. TANKLESS WATER HEATER (If So Equipped) Your motor home may be equipped with a tankless water heater. The tankless water heater uses up less LP Gas than storage tank model water heaters since it only uses energy when hot water is demanded.

  • Page 91: City Water Tank Fill

    CLASS C MOTORHOME SECTION 8 – PLUMBING SYSTEM The fresh water connection should be unplugged (i.e., the non-toxic drinking water hose disconnected) when the motor home is unattended for any amount of time. If something would happen to the water system, this may help limit water damage to a smaller area.

  • Page 92: Draining The Fresh Water System

    SECTION 8 – PLUMBING SYSTEM CLASS C MOTORHOME Enter the motor home and open the cold water supply faucets to bleed air from the water lines. When the water lines are nearly full, you may experience some "air pockets." Allow them to escape before closing the cold water supply faucets.
