  • Page 85 SECTION 7 – FUEL & PROPANE SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE XHAUST UMES WARNING Avoid inhaling exhaust gases as they contain carbon monoxide, which is a potentially toxic gas that is colorless and odorless. WARNING If you are in a recreation vehicle with either a nearby tow vehicle engine running or the generator (if so equipped) running there is a potential for exhaust fumes to filter back into the recreation vehicle.
  • Page 86 SECTION 7 – FUEL & PROPANE SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE Maintenance Although your recreation vehicle has been carefully tested at the factory, and by your selling dealer for leakage, travel vibrations can loosen fittings. Have the propane system checked at all connections soon after the purchase of your recreation vehicle, and after the initial filling of the propane tanks.
  • Page 87 SECTION 7 – FUEL & PROPANE SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE ROPANE ONTAINER Propane “container” is a general all inclusive term used to describe a vessel that is used for storage and delivery of propane gas. The most common of these are: DOT (Department of Transportation) cylinders are transportable and are commonly used on recreation vehicles.
  • Page 88 SECTION 7 – FUEL & PROPANE SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE Close the propane cylinder main shut off valve by hand tightening only. Use of tools creates a potential to over tighten the valve (damaging the interior seals on the cylinder valve seat). If this type of damage occurs, the cylinder will not close properly.
  • Page 89 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. The following label should be kept permanently affixed to your RV.
  • Page 90 SECTION 7 – FUEL & PROPANE SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE If a vinyl cylinder cover is provided, slip it over the cylinder and leave the zipper open (if so equipped).

  • Page 92: Sealants

    SECTION 7 – FUEL & PROPANE SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE Fittings are used to connect the various system components to each other. The P.O.L. fitting at the end of the propane supply hose is made of brass so that pipe sealants are not necessary to prevent leaking.

  • Page 93: Propane Gas System

    SECTION 7 – FUEL & PROPANE SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE Light the appliances as needed and directed in the appropriate appliance manufacturer’s owner manual located in the Warranty Packet. Keep the propane container valves closed at all times unless you are using the propane gas system or are having the propane container filled.
  • Page 94 SECTION 7 – FUEL & PROPANE SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE Cooking / comfort heating label ALCULATING ROPANE SAGE It is important to remember that your furnace, refrigerator, water heater and range all may use propane gas to operate. Each has a different BTU rating, and you will need to consider them to determine how long your propane supply will last.

As you push either the “FRESH”, “BLK” “GREY1” or “GREY2” switch, one or more LED lights will illuminate (from left to right) indicating the content level for that tank. When pushing the “BATT” switch, the LED lights illuminate from left (lowest) to right (highest) to indicate the estimated auxiliary battery condition.
  • Page 97 SECTION 8 – PLUMBING SYSTEM JAYCO TOWABLE RESH ATER OLDING There may be several ways to fill the fresh water tank depending on the model. For details of each method, refer to the Fresh Water Connections or the Utility Center (if so equipped) sections.
  • Page 98 SECTION 7 – PLUMBING SYSTEM JAYCO TOWABLE The water pump switch should be in the OFF position when the RV is left 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 99 SECTION 8 – PLUMBING SYSTEM JAYCO TOWABLE Turn ON the water at the water source. Enter the vehicle 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 these to escape before closing the cold water supply faucets.
