LP gas containers should not be placed or stored inside the

vehicle. LP gas containers are equipped with safety devices

that relieve excessive pressure by discharging gas into the

atmosphere.

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 exhaust fan, and

• Open window.

A warning label has been located in the cooking area to remind the user to provide an ad-

equate supply of fresh air for combustion. Use proper ventilation when using the cooking

appliances to avoid the dangers of asphyxiation.

Do not ﬁ ll containers to more than 80 percent of capacity. Over

ﬁ lling the LP gas container can result in uncontrolled gas ﬂ ow,

which can cause ﬁ re or explosion. A properly ﬁ lled container

will contain approximately 80 percent of its volume as liquid LP gas.

Portable fuel burning equipment, including wood, charcoal

grills, and propane stoves, should not be used inside the

motorhome. The use of this equipment inside the vehicle may

cause ﬁ res and/or asphyxiation.

Do not bring or store LP gas containers, gasoline, or other

ﬂ ammable liquids inside the vehicle because ﬁ re or explosion

may result.

LP gas has a distinctive odor. If you are unaware of the nature

of an odor contact a Damon dealer. If you smell LP gas:

• Extinguish any open ﬂ ames, pilot lights, and all smoking materials.

• Do not touch any electrical switches.

• Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve or gas supply connection.

• Open doors and windows.

• Leave the area until the odor clears.

• Have the gas system checked immediately by a certiﬁ ed RV technician.

The LP gas tank is mounted to the chassis below the ﬂ oor between the frame rails

and behind the lower compartment door of your motorhome. The tank needn’t be

removed, as it is accessible for ﬁ lling through a remote ﬁ ll under the lower com-

partment door in the drivers side. The tank and ﬁ ttings have been completely assem-

bled; however, upon initial ﬁ lling, all connections should be checked for leakage by

a certiﬁ ed RV technician.

The LP gas is stored in the tank as a liquid under pressure and vaporizes under the

control of the pressure regulator for use with all of the LP appliances. The LP gas in

the tank is much colder than the air that surrounds the tank, but as the air tem-

perature drops closer to the temperature of the liquid in the tank, the liquid doesn’t

vaporize as easily. Consequently, the BTU value of the LP drops dramati-
