Using Lp Gas System At Low Temperatures - Fleetwood PaceArrow Vision Manual

The regulatoris equipped with a vent. This vent must stay
clean and open. The most common causes of regulator prob-
lems are clogging from corrosion, dirt, insect nests or other
material. Even a small piece of material that finds its way
into the vent can result in improper pressure in the system.
This could damage the system or cause other parts of the
system to fail.
The regulator is mounted so that the vent is facing downward
and is protected from water and dirt by a water-resistant
cover. Be sure the cover is on at all times. If the vent
becomes clogged, it can be cleaned with a toothbrush. If you
see corrosion, contact a qualified LP gas service technician
for a replacement regulator.
Your LP gas system will function at low temperatures, as
long as the system components are kept at a temperature
above the vapor point of the LP gas. Ask your LP gas suppli-
er or your motor home dealer for information on LP gas
blends available in your area and the areas in which you will
be traveling.
The availability of gas is reduced at lower temperatures.
Keep your LP tank as full as possible during cold weather.
Check the BTU/hr. rating plates on your LP gas appliances.
This information will help you manage your LP gas use. The
