Your vehicle is equipped with a propane system which, when properly handled and maintained, will provide trouble and worry
free operation of your propane fueled appliances.
Propane fuel is colourless, heavier than air and smells like garlic or rotten eggs. The odor is added by the distributor so
propane may smell differently as you travel and purchase propane from various distributors. Being heavier than air it will
collect in low spots and along the floor of your vehicle.
The propane main tank valve must be open to operate gas fueled appliances. The propane tank valve has arrows on the
handle to indicate which direction is open and which is closed.
The propane tank is located across the rear of the vehicle. To access the tank for filling and to turn the main tank shutoff
valve off and on, turn the two retaining tabs on either side of the access cover, located in the center of the rear bumper, and
remove the access cover.
You must close the tank shutoff valve when the vehicle is not in daily use. Further, you must close the shutoff valve
when the vehicle is traveling. Never operate the refrigerator on propane while the vehicle is in motion.
