APPLIANCES 

For proper appliance lighting, operation and maintenance, consult the appropriate appliance 
manufacturers reading materials contained in the truck camper’s Info-Pak 

Lighting LP Gas Appliances 

Air trapped in the gas lines may delay the initial lighting of any appliance.  It could take several 
seconds or longer for the gas to reach the appliance.  The first time the furnace or oven is lit; paints 
and oils used in the manufacturing process may generate some smoke and fumes.  If this occurs, 
open doors and windows to air out the camper. If this happens it should burn off quickly and not be 
an issue going forward. 

 
NOTE:

  

Always follow the appliance manufacturer’s lighting and operating instructions, found in the 

truck camper’s Info-Pak 

Microwave Oven 

This item should never be operated when empty.  Please consult the manufacturer’s owner’s manual, 
in Info Pak. 

Refrigerator 

The refrigerator operates on 120-volt AC power and LP gas.  The operating instructions supplied in 
the Owner's Info-Pak will help you with detailed information from the manufacturer. 
 
The  recreational  vehicle  LP  type  refrigerator  operates  on  the  "absorption"  principle  and  therefore 
MUST  BE  reasonably  level  for  maximum  efficiency.    When  your  camper  is  stationary,  it  should  be 
leveled for comfortable living.  If you can occupy the camper comfortably, the refrigerator unit should 
perform well.  If the refrigerator unit is not  "close to level", it may not function properly and your 
food will not be adequately cooled. 
 
When the camper is in motion, the continuous movement will not affect operation.  The operating 
instructions are printed inside near the controls and may be found in the manufacturer's instruction 
manual, in Info-Pak.
