    If you believe your vehicle has a deficiency, that might cause an accident, injury or death, we encourage you to immediately contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Vanleigh RV. If NHTSA receives similar concerns, they may open an investigation. If they determine that a safety defi- ciency lies in other vehicles, a recall and remedy campaign may be called.

    Maintenance Although both Vanleigh RV and your selling dealer carefully test the propane system for leaks, travel vibrations can loosen fittings. Have the RV's propane system checked at all connections soon after your purchase. System should also be checked when the propane tanks are filled for the first time, and again after 5,000 miles of travel.
  • Page 103 P R O P A N E S Y S T E M When the propane system is not in use, the main shut off valve must be kept closed. To close the propane cylinder main shut off valve: HAND TIGHTEN ONLY, do not use tools. Over-tightening may damage the interior seals on the cylinder valve seat.
  • Page 104 P R O P A N E S Y S T E M NEVER use a solution containing ammonia or chlorine when locating leaks.
