10.3 SELECTING FUEL TYPES
Butane burns at a much higher temperature than
propane but will not change from a liquid to a gas at
temperatures below 32 degrees F or 0 degrees C.
Propane, on the other hand, burns at a lower tem-
perature and will continue to convert from a liquid to
a gas at temperatures as low as -40 degrees F or -
40 degrees C.
LP dealers will normally provide only the type of gas
commonly used and suited to the climate in their
area. If you travel from a warmer part of the coun-
try to a colder area you may want to check to make
sure you have the right type of LP gas.
10.4 LP TANK SYSTEM
The LP gas containers are located at the
front of the hitch frame for the trailer and in
the front or side compartment for the fifth
wheel model. They are accessible only from
outside the vehicle. The tank valve is
located near the top center of the tanks next
to the regulator. Before opening the supply
valve, make sure all controls for the various
appliances are in the OFF or PILOT OFF
position. This is to prevent any LP gas from
leaking into the trailer.
10.5 LP TANK CAPACITY
The tank size is the approximate usable volume
which is about 80% of the total tank volume.
