Woodall’s Campground and Trailer Guide and other simi-
lar publications list refueling stations. Many travel parks sell
LP-Gas. Shut off the pilot lights, appliances and igniters before
filling the LP-Gas tank to prevent a fire or explosion. Have a
trained service person fill the LP-Gas tank.
The LP-Gas tank fill and bleed valves are located in the LP-
Gas tank access outside compartment. Caution the service tech-
nician, if your tank is new and being filled for the first time, to
purge any air from the tank before filling. When the tank is
filled to the proper level there is space available for the conver-
sion of liquid into gas. If a tank is over- filled it may vent pres-
sure. When this happens you may detect a strong rotten egg
odor near the tank and/or hear a hissing noise.
WARNING: Turn off all pilot lights and appliances during
the refueling of the motorhome and filling the LP-Gas
tank to prevent a fire or explosion.
LP-Gas exists in both the liquid and vapor state with the LP-Gas tank. A
“Full” tank is approximately 80% liquid. The pressure inside the tank varies
with the temperature of the liquid. All tanks are required to be equipped with
a pressure relief device. The purpose of the relief valve is to release gas or
liquid caused by overpressurization. You will notice the gauge at the tank,
when full, will only read 3/4. Your monitor panel is adjusted to indicate
FULL at this point.
If you are storing portable LP-Gas tanks (do not transport or store LP-Gas
tanks, gasoline or other flammable liquids inside the motorhome) that are not
connected to an LP-Gas system. Install an approved plug in the tank outlet
holes to prevent leaks. Do not store empty LP-Gas tanks. Keep open flame
and spark producing materials away from the LP-Gas area. If this warning is
ignored a fire or explosion could result. Shut off all appliances and LP-Gas
tank valves (located on side of LP-Gas tank underneath the motorhome)
when the motorhome is in storage.
CAUTION: Pressure inside LP-Gas tanks can reach over 300
psi when exposed to direct sunlight. A high pressure safety
relief valve will purge excess high pressure if necessary. LP-Gas
will stop vaporizing as the LP-Gas tank temperature approach-
es -40º F. Appliances which consume large amounts of LP-Gas,
such as the water heater or furnace, will need to be operated in
sequence in extremely cold environments.
• Manually open the main shut-off valve located on the
roadside of the LP-Gas tank.
• Turn off the manual valve on the LP-Gas tank when
