Identification and Safety
A vehicle data card is also supplied with your recreational
vehicle listing manufacturer, model, and serial number
information for major factory installed appliances and
accessories. A separate copy of this information could be
useful to you in the event of theft, vandalism or disaster and
also when certain service functions may require it.
Decals and data plates placed throughout the
recreational vehicle aid in its’ safe and efficient
operation, others give service instructions. Read
all decals, data and instruction plates before
operating your recreational vehicle. If any decal,
data or instruction plate is damaged, painted over or
removed, it should be replaced.
SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR LP
The following warnings are posted throughout your
recreational vehicle to provide information on LP gas
safety. They have been installed not only because of
the requirement to do so, but also as a constant
reminder to occupants of the recreational vehicle to
exercise proper caution when using or being around
LP gas appliances and equipment. We are listing
them here so you may study them and be sure that
you and your family understand and follow them.
LP GAS CONTAINERS SHALL NOT
BE PLACED OR STORED INSIDE
THE LIVING AREA OF A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE.
LP GAS CONTAINERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH
SAFETY DEVICES WHICH RELIEVE EXCESSIVE
PRESSURE BY DISCHARGING GAS INTO THE
ATMOSPHERE.
IT
IS NOT SAFE TO USE COOKING
APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT HEATING.
Recreational Vehicle Serial Number, Decals
and Data Plates
The recreational VIN, (vehicle identification number), label is
mounted on the front lower roadside corner of a Travel Trailer
or Fifth Wheel.
IMPORTANT:
Always give model, year and the V.I.N.
(vehicle identification number) information when ordering
parts. Also, we recommend that you keep a copy of that
information separate from the recreational vehicle in the
event of theft or vandalism. You may be required to supply a
copy of this information to the authorities.
The VIN is a computer generated number based upon pertinent
facts about your RV. For example:
