TV
The flat screen TV should not be stored inside the Roadtrek in cold temperatures. Remove it to
reduce the chance of damage from the cold. Check the Owner's Manual for the TV for storage and
operating temperatures.
TV
To remove the TV, remove the four mounting bolts on the back of the TV mounting bracket and
remove the RCA cables, power supply cable and antenna cable.
PROPANE
Do not store propane tanks inside your vehicle. Propane tanks are equipped with safety devices
which relieve excessive pressure by discharging gas to the atmosphere.
PROPANE
Do not refuel the propane tank to more than 80% of its capacity.
PROPANE
The propane tank valve must be closed and ALL PILOT LIGHTS, APPLIANCES, AND THEIR IGNITERS,
MUST BE TURNED OFF during refueling of the motor fuel tank and/or the propane fuel tank. Only
qualified personnel should refuel your propane tank.
PROPANE
Purchase propane from a reputable propane facility. Contaminated propane is a common cause of
system failure and is not covered under any warranty.
PROPANE
The BBQ quick disconnect is regulated to 15 P.S.I. Please ensure that all devices connected to this
are either rated for “ high pressure ” or have their own regulator. Many grills sold in the United
States are "low pressure" (1/2 P.S.I.) and will require an additional regulator to step the pressure
down to a useable level. If hooked directly to the BBQ quick disconnect they will be a severe fire
hazard.
FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS AND
GASSES
Do not store gasoline or other flammable liquids inside your vehicle.
HEATING
Never use cooking appliances or unvented propane heaters for space heating purposes. They
need fresh air for safe operation.
HEATING
The heating furnace provides its own outside combustion air and exhausts to the outside.
HEATING
Portable fuel burning equipment, including wood, charcoal, and liquid fuel grills and stoves,
should not be used inside your vehicle. Use of this type of equipment inside your vehicle may
cause a fire or asphyxiation.
