Regulatory Concerns
Many jurisdictions place restrictions on propane on highways, in tunnels, on ferries, and on bridges. Please follow all local restrictions in all the jurisdictions along
your trip. Some bridges/tunnels/ferries require you to have your main tank valve closed. This valve must be closed whenever the vehicle is in motion in any case,
not just in certain areas. Other bridges/tunnels/ferries ban vehicles with propane tanks entirely. Plan ahead and take an alternate route if passing through areas
where vehicles with propane are prohibited.
Propane Tank Location
Depending on the model of your vehicle, the propane tank is located on the driver's side just behind the driver, across the back behind the rear bumper or on
the passenger side just under the sliding door.
Main Shutoff Valve
The propane tank and its valves and controls is behind a door or cover. Please refer to the propane section of the manual for details. The pictures here are for
illustrative purposes and may not reflect your specific model:
You must close the tank shutoff valve when the vehicle is not in daily use. Further, you must close the shutoff valve when the vehicle is traveling. Never
operate any propane appliance while the vehicle is in motion.
If you close the main valve for an extended period, it is possible for the distribution lines to fill with air. It may take a while for propane to fill the lines again. The
fridge and water heater handle this automatically; for the stove, you can hear the difference between propane and air. If you open the valve too quickly,
especially after an extended shutoff, it is possible you will active the slam shut valve. See below for more information.
