3.7. L.P. Gas System
All motor homes are equipped with a propane gas system that provides LPG
(Liquid Petroleum Gas / Propane) to the refrigerator/freezer, stove/oven, furnace
and water heater.
The propane tank is located outside the motor home in one of the compartments.
The main valve located at the propane tank needs to be in the open position to
operate the gas appliances.
3.7.1. L.P. Gas Detector
The detector is located just above the floor of the motor home. It is designed to
detect and alert with a beeping sound in case of a possible LP Gas leak. Please
push the mute button and air out the vehicle.
The L.P. gas detector is very sensitive. It can also react to alcohol, perfumes and
cleaning fluids.
3.7.2. Refrigerator / Freezer
The refrigerator can be operated on either LP Gas or 110V. It does not run on
12V from the auxiliary batteries only.
You should use the AUTO mode to operate your refrigerator. In this case it will
select the power source (LP Gas or 110V) itself. Important: Make sure that the
motor home is parked level to ensure proper function of the refrigerator.
110-Volt electrical operation is only possible with electrical hook up or if the
generator is running.
If the vehicle is parked in the sun and high ambient temperatures exist, the
efficiency of the refrigerator will be reduced.
3.7.3. Refrigerator – Dometic
Leave the refrigerator on "AUTO" operation, that means button (1) is pushed in
and the "AUTO" light (2) is lit. In "AUTO" operation the refrigerator runs on
propane and switches automatically to 110-Volt if available.
