There is a label located in the cooking area to remind you to
provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion.
It is not safe to use cooking appliances for comfort heating.
Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation. Before
Operation:
Open overhead vent or turn on the exhaust fan.
Open window.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to
the size of the recreational vehicle, and proper ventilation
when using cooking appliances will avoid dangers of
asphyxiation. It is especially important that cooking
appliances not be used for comfort heating as the danger of
asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is used for long
periods of time.
Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal
grills and stoves shall not be used inside the recreational
vehicle. The use of this equipment inside the recreational
vehicle may cause fires or asphyxiation.
Do not store propane containers (except in the approved space
designed for it), gasoline or other flammable liquids inside the
camper. Fire or explosion may be the result.
All pilot lights, appliances, and their ignitors (see operating
instructions) shall be turned off before refueling of motor fuel.
Tanks and/or propane containers. Failure to comply could
result in death or serious injury.
If you smell gas:
Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and all
smoking materials.
DO NOT touch electrical switches.
Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas
supply connection.
Open doors and other ventilating openings.
DO NOT use the range hood.
Leave the area until the odor clears.
Have the LP system checked and leakage source
corrected before using again.
Overfilling the propane container can result in
uncontrolled gas flow, which can cause fire or
explosion.
A properly filled container will contain
approximately 80% of its volume as liquid propane.
Overfilled Propane tanks must be bled. This is different
than purging the tanks. When the tanks are new, they must be
purged of the oxygen in the tanks used during the tank
manufacturer’s testing procedure prior to being filled with
propane. Overfilled tanks will emit liquid into the propane
system, which can cause problems/plugging with the regulator
used on the tanks, range, and generator. A bathroom scale can
be used to weigh the tanks prior to reinstalling them in the
camper. A 5-gallon tank should not weigh more than 35lbs.
when filled. A 7-gallon tank should not weigh more than
50lbs. when filled. Instructions for bleeding the tanks are
located on a label on the tank.
The following label has been placed in the vehicle near the
range area.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Your truck and your camper’s
generator exhaust contain
carbon monoxide gas. You

inspected for leaks. Whenever
The truck and camper is serviced.
The truck or camper was in an accident that may
have damaged the underside.
Carbon monoxide is toxic.
Breathing it in can cause unconsciousness and Death.
Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to
carbon monoxide.
High levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly in
enclosed areas, such as a Truck Camper.
