Propane Bottles

This unit is equipped with two 30# Propane bottles. Two 40# Propane bottles
may be installed as an option. These bottles are controlled with an automatic
pressure regulator. The Propane bottles contain liquid petroleum gas under
high pressure. As the fuel is used, the liquid gas vaporizes and passes through
the tank valve to a regulator that automatically reduces the pressure. The low-
pressure gas is then distributed to the appliances throughout the pipe manifold
system. Improperly adjusted regulators are the major cause of appliance
lighting problems. Never attempt to reset the regulator. This is to be done by a
qualified service technician. While in high altitudes or extreme cold weather
a gas shortage may be experienced. Using one appliance at a time can help
adjust to this problem.
It is recommended to have the Propane system inspected by an authorized
service technician at least once a year and after every extended trip. This
system is tested by both the manufacturer and the dealer. Leaks can be caused
by travel vibrations, therefore routine inspections are recommended.
The primary gas manifold is a black steel pipe running the length of the unit.
All secondary lines leading to the gas appliances are made of copper tubing
with flare fittings. If any of these lines rupture do not attempt to splice them.
Always have a new line ran. Gas distribution work must be performed by an
authorized service technician. When removing or servicing any gas appliance,
close the main gas valve at the Propane bottles. This will prevent dangerous
