Page 24: Microwave Oven
Microwave Oven The oven is a standard microwave oven. It operates much the same as the microwave at your house. It is probably lower powered, so cooking may take a bit longer. The microwave will operate from the batteries through the inverter for reheating purposes or other brief use. However, for extended microwave use, you must be connected to shore power or have the optional generator running. -
Page 25: Hot Water
Hot Water Your Roadtrek is equipped with a propane fired tankless water heater. The heater has no tank and operates on demand. At low flows water may be hot, while at high flows water may be cooler, this is normal. When you turn on the water heater you will not hear it fire up. It only ignites when it senses a water demand. -

Along the bottom of the screen you can find three large pockets that can be used to store a range of different items. -
Page 30: Side Door Screen
Side Door Screen In addition to the rear door screen, there is also a side door screen which will allow you to keep the side door open for ventilation without admitting insects. The side door screen offers a bug (and no-see-ums) screen that comes equipped with a magnetic door catch that allows you to easily pass through the door without having to zip it open and closed. -
Page 31: Utilities
Utilities Just like your house, your Roadtrek has fresh water, electricity, wastewater disposal, heating, and cooling systems. In the Roadtrek, these systems are self-contained and travel with you. Your vehicle should be reasonably level to allow normal operation of the system. -
Page 32: Water Pump

Page 34: Heating And Cooling
If this is set to any other, then “auto” the A/C fan will be on. Air Conditioning The air conditioner (AC) provides cooling for your Roadtrek using electric shore power or the under- hood generator. (Picture 36.3) The AC can be operated normally when you are plugged in to shore power. -
Page 35: Propane System
Propane System The propane tank is located on the passenger side of the van, just forward of the rear tire (picture 36.4). The access door is hinged at the top and held closed magnetically. Grab the bottom of the door and swing it upwards to access the propane tank (picture 36.5). Ensure the propane system and their respective appliances are turned off before filling the propane tank. -
Page 36: Propane Tank Filling
Main Shutoff valve Propane Tank Propane tank main shutoff valve Propane Tank Filling To fill the tank, first turn off all propane appliances, then turn off the tank shutoff valve. We recommend that you find a qualified LPG technician to fill the tank. The following is an outline of the process to help you understand and not intended to be complete, nor to substitute for formal training or instruction. -
Page 37: Propane Relief Valve
Note the amount it takes to fill your tank. The seven-gallon tank in your Roadtrek will hold 5.9 gallons / 22 liters when completely empty and filled to the correct 80% full level. -
Page 38: Propane Sender
The Roadtrek's propane tank is mounted outside the vehicle and will vent propane where it can dissipate; any tank inside the vehicle will vent into the passenger compartment, creating an explosive propane-air mixture inside the enclosed space, which also contains many potential sources of ignition. -
Page 39: Electrical System
Coach Batteries Your Roadtrek uses a combination of Lithium and AGM batteries. These are sealed batteries. Do not attempt to open them. There is no maintenance possible on these batteries. Battery Disconnect Switch The battery disconnect switch provides power to all 12-volt appliances, such as the water pump, the refrigerator, the Firefly control panel and so forth. -
Page 40: Solar
Standard 3000W Inverter The standard configuration includes a 3000-watt inverter. (Picture 38.2) This inverter provides 120- volt AC (household current) for the outlets in your Roadtrek; primarily the ones running the TV and Picture 38.1 the DVD player. It will run the microwave and the air conditioner. -
Page 41: Shore Power
Shore Power The shore power connection is through the shore power cord, stored in the driver's side large compartment. See Outside your Roadtrek for location. The switchover from shore power to inverter is automatic. To connect to external (shore) power, open the side compartment and remove the power cord. Plug the power cord into the campsite 30-amp power source. -

It is located slightly above floor level next to the furnace and below the fridge. Be sure the detector is operating while using your vehicle. -
Page 46: Low Battery Level
Fire Extinguisher Your Roadtrek comes equipped with a dry chemical fire extinguisher suitable for all fires. (Picture 46.1) Before every trip, check to see that the needle on the dial is in the green range. If not, replace the fire extinguisher. DO NOT test your fire extinguisher by discharging it - total discharge time is 8 to 12 seconds, so it will become rapidly depleted if you test it this way. -
Page 47: Maintenance
Maintenance Tires See the automotive chassis manufacturer's owner's manual and documents for tire warranty information. Inflation pressure information is on the sticker inside the galley cabinet door. The current RAM ProMaster® manual recommends checking tire pressures regularly, at least every other week and before a long trip. -
Page 48: At Least Every Three Months
At Least Every Three Months • Flush water to the toilet. Use a hose or bucket to fill the tank through the toilet and dump. Flush gray water holding tank. Use a hose or bucket to fill the tank through the galley sink and dump. Flush and sanitize freshwater tank. - Page 49 To prevent water from entering your vehicle, avoid spraying water directly into exterior vents or grills. Do not use a power washer to clean your Roadtrek because damage to the paint, removal of decals and water leaks will result. Hand washing or commercial car washes accommodating large vehicles are the best way to keep your Roadtrek clean and shiny.
