Caution: You should follow this instruction.
Danger: Do NOT perform this action. Doing so may result in injury, severe damage, or death.
Regulatory Warnings
LEVEL
ITEM
INSTRUCTION
Danger
Do not place propane cylinders inside the vehicle.
• Propane cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve excessive pressure by discharging propane to the
atmosphere.
• Propane gas is highly flammable. This action can lead to fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury.
Warning
Do not use gas cooking appliances for comfort heating.
• Can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which can lead to death or serious injury.
Warning
Gas cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation.
• Open vents or windows slightly or turn on exhaust fan prior to using cooking appliance.
• Gas flames consume oxygen, which should be replaced to ensure proper operation.
• Improper use can result in death or serious injury.
Warning
Do not fill propane containers to more than 80% of their capacity.
• A properly filled container contains approximately 80 percent of its volume as liquid propane.
• Overfilling propane container(s) can result in uncontrolled propane flow, which could lead to a fire or explosion and result
in death or serious injury.

Danger
If you smell propane:
1. Extinguish any open flames and all smoking materials.
2. Shut off propane supply at the container valve(s) or propane supply connection.
3. Do not touch electrical switches.
4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.
5. Leave the area until the odor clears.
6. Have the propane system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
7. Ignition of flammable vapors could lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury.
Danger
Vehicles and equipment powered by internal combustion engines and placed in recreational vehicles can cause carbon
monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation, which could result in death or serious injury.
• Do not store, transport, or dispense fuel inside this vehicle.
Information, Cautions and Warnings
LEVEL
ITEM
COMMENT
Seat Belts
Use only forward facing seats equipped with factory installed seat belts while the vehicle is in motion. All passengers must
be seated in these seats only, with the seat belts fastened while the vehicle is in motion.
TV
Turn the TV off and stow it while the vehicle is in motion.
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, release the bracket 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 10 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.

Propane Leak
Detector
Do not block the air circulation in the area where the Propane Leak Detector is located.
Propane Leak
Detector
Battery disconnect switch must be in the "ON" position for the propane detector to function.
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.
Carbon Monoxide
Leak Detector
Do not block the air circulation in the area where the Carbon Monoxide Leak Detector is located.
Carbon Monoxide
Leak Detector
Battery disconnect switch must be in the "ON" position for the Carbon Monoxide Leak Detector to function.
110 V Electrical
Servicing
Prior to servicing any 110 V, unplug the output lead from the power inverter.
Exterior Access
Doors
Ensure the shore power cord and city water supply lines are disconnected and in their stored positions before the vehicle is
put in motion.
Awning
Close the sliding side door prior to opening or closing the awning.
Dining Table
When storing the dining table, secure in place using the snap-on strap.
Extra Counter
Space
Make sure the stove is off and has cooled prior to lowering the stove cover.
Battery
Battery acid can burn your skin and damage clothing. Protective eye wear and gloves should be worn while handling
batteries. Effective June 2010 all Erwin Hymer Group NA installed batteries are sealed AGM batteries that do not require
the addition of water.
Battery
Disconnect the inverter/charger prior to disconnecting the auxiliary battery.
Generator
The Roadtrek is supplied with an AC generator located underneath the engine. Never submerge the generator. Use a
spotter when launching a boat or crossing streams.
Waste Water
Storage and
Dumping System
Close the gray water gate valve before using the waste water system.
Freezing
Under moderate subfreezing conditions, antifreeze is required in the exterior fresh water tank, toilet cassette and gray
waste water tank. Use RV antifreeze in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
