LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS SYSTEM
Liquid Petroleum (LP) gas is the energy source for your
range, oven, and furnace. It is also an alternate power
source for your LP gas/electric refrigerator.
LP gas is a colorless gas, but is stored under pressure as a
liquid.
The tanks are located in one of the compart-
ments accessible on the outside of the vehicle. It is com-
mercially available under such names as Butane, Propane
or other brand names.
Though odorless in a natural
state, LP gas is always odorized to smell like garlic for
easy detection in the event of a leak. The gas and the
liquid tank in which it is stored are safe and convenient,
provided sensible precautions are followed.
CAUTION
LP GAS IS FLAMEABLE AND POTENTIALLY EX-
PLOSIVE.
USE PROPER HANDLING, LIGHTING
AND VENTILATING PROCEDURES. AS A GAS, LP
GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND WILL DISSIPATE
IF VENTILATION IS PROVIDED TO PERMIT A
DOWNWARD FLOW.

USING YOUR LP GAS SYSTEM AT LOW TEMPERA-
TURES
Your gas system will function well at low temperatures,
provided the components are kept at a temperature a-
bout the boiling point of the gas.
NOTE:
Butane boils or turns to a gas about 32 deg-
rees F and propane boils at about -40 degrees
F.
The following are suggestions to keep gas appliances
working smoothly:
1.
Choose a type of LP gas which has a boiling
point lower than any temperature you expect
to encounter. Ask your LP gas supplier or
your motor home dealer for information on
products available in your area.
2.
If outside temperatures get below the boiling
point of the LP gas in your system, keep ex-
posed area (such as the tank, regulator and
lines) at a higher temperature with a protec-
tive cover.
