LP Gas Consumption
Each gallon of LP gas produces
approximately 92,000 BTU’s of heat. Total
consumption depends on the rate of usage
by each appliance and operating time.
Oven and heating systems use the most
gas. With sub-freezing temperatures and
high winds, consumption by the furnace
can be very high. To check tank level,
press test switch on the monitor panel.
! DANGER !
Fire or an explosion from ignited gas or gas fumes can seriously injure you
or cause death.
Shut off all LP gas tank valves when motorhome is not in use. Since the
introduction of DSI boards in appliances, it is very important to shut off all LP gas
valves, pilot lights and appliances, and disable igniters (see operating instructions
in Chapter 3) during refueling motorhome and filling LP gas tanks to prevent a fire
or explosion.
If you smell gas (a rotten egg or sulfur smell) at any time, perform the fol-
lowing steps immediately.
• Turn off main gas supply.
• Do not touch any electric switch.
• Extinguish any open flames.
• Open windows and doors.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Exit motorhome and contract service center or gas supplier.
If you are storing LP gas tanks (do not transport or store LP gas tanks, gaso-
line, or other flammable liquids inside motorhomes) that are not connected to a LP
gas system install an approved plug in tank outlet holes to prevent leaks. Do not
store empty LP gas tanks. Keep open flame and spark producing materials away
from LP gas area. If this warning is ignored, a fire or explosion could result.
