LP GAS SUPPLY

The LP gas system supplies fuel for the range,
water heater, furnace and refrigerator (while in
gas mode). When used and handled properly, this
system is safe and economical and provides
modern living conveniences wherever you travel.
How LP Gas Works
LP (Liquefied Petroleum) gas is a true gas
compressed into liquid form for easy
transportation and storage. LP gas is available in
two types - propane and butane. It is also called
tank gas, bottle gas, or simply LP.
LP is used by appliances in vapor form only,
but is stored in the tank as a liquid under very
high pressure. As the liquid gas is released, it
reverts back to a vapor and expands to many
times its compressed volume.
LP Tank System
The storage reservoir for the LP gas system is
a horizontally mounted tank which is
permanently attached to the vehicle frame. The
tank is accessible only from the outside of the
vehicle. The tank supply valve is located near the
top center of the tank, next to the regulator.
