SkyLine TRAVEL TRAILER FIFTH WHEEL Owner's Manual page 29

If holding tank will not dump or only partially dumps:
1. Be sure unit is level before dumping.
2. Waste may have solidifi ed and clogged drain valve. Partially fi ll tank with water and
soap and tow unit for about 10 miles. Surging motion of soapy water in tank should
loosen the solid matter and allow dumping. Always rinse tank thoroughly after
dumping.
3. Check handle on slide dump valve to be sure it is operative.
For problems with marine toilet, consult manufacturer's manual.
PROPANE SYSTEM (Self-Contained Models)
The refrigerator, furnace, oven, range, and water heater all operate on Propane. Propane is
stored in your tank under very high pressure. Before it is used in the appliances it passes
through a regulator which reduces it to less than one pound of pressure. (See Diagram 3)
Propane burns readily and yields a great deal of energy. Under proper conditions and
careful handling it is safe, economical, and ideally suited for use where conventional
fuels are not easily utilized. A strong odor has been added to the gas for safety.
Your travel trailer heating, refrigeration, and cooking system are equipped to operate best
on Propane. Make sure your Propane tanks are NOT FILLED WITH STRAIGHT BU-
TANE, which has a higher boiling point than Propane. Butane will convert to a gas only
at temperatures above 32 degrees Fahrenheit and will not function as a fuel below that.
On the other hand, Propane can be used as a fuel at temperatures down to -44 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Both butane and Propane are heavier than air. When released they fl ow downhill like
water and will tend to fi ll depressions. Both diffuse readily and will dissipate quickly into
the atmosphere if not allowed to be trapped in a depression or closed chamber.
CAUTION: PROPANE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND DANGEROUS. It is not
poisonous, BUT WILL INDUCE DROWSINESS AND MAY CAUSE SUFFOCA-
TION. Under ordinary circumstances, breathing small amounts should not be
harmful. Use extreme caution — and see that others do — when fi lling the storage
tank(s). There should be no fl ame or spark or anything which might induce a spark
within at least 25 feet of the fi lling operation.
WARNING: Do not bring or store Propane containers, gasoline, or other fl ammable
liquids inside the vehicle because a fi re or explosion may result.
Propane containers are equipped with safety devices which relieve excessive pressure by
discharging gas to the atmosphere.
