  • Page 31: Electrical System

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NOTE: INVERTER/CHARGER Your Owner’s Manual for RV750ULHW contains most of the essential information you need to enjoy the electrical conveniences of home while at RV parks or dry camping. However, we wish to highlight for you exactly how the charging portion of the inverter/charger works, in order to help avoid possible confusion: Supplying shore power or, (optional) generator power enables RV750ULHW to charge the auxiliary battery(s).

  • Page 32: External Electrical Source Connection

    The generator is located and accessed from the underside of the van behind the rear axle of your vehicle. CAUTION: When launching a boat, (using your Roadtrek), it is important to note that the generator must not be submerged in water. This will permanently damage the generator. If you cannot launch without submerging the generator, an alternate method would be to use a boat launching service.

  • Page 38: Propane & Safety System

    PROPANE & SAFETY SYSTEM Your vehicle is equipped with a propane system which, when properly handled and maintained, will provide trouble and worry free operation of your propane fueled appliances. Propane fuel is stored in a liquid state under extremely high pressure. As fuel is used, propane gas passes from the top of the tank through the regulator into the propane gas lines and eventually to all of the propane fueled appliances.

  • Page 39: Refueling Procedures

    PROPANE & SAFETY SYSTEM REFUELING PROCEDURES: WARNING: Do not refuel the propane tank to more than 80% of its capacity. A properly refueled propane tank will hold approximately 80% of its volume in a liquid state. Over fueling of the propane tank can result in uncontrolled gas flow which can cause a fire or explosion.
