KZRV places brand name, quality-built equipment, as guided by current
codes and standards, in all recreational vehicles. Some appliances are
built and equipped to operate on propane ONLY. DO NOT attempt to
operate on natural, butane or methane gas.

manufacturer. These manuals supply additional information about the
appliances in your recreational vehicle.

The below “
DANGER
” information is placed in the manual and also on a
sticker located inside your coach.
Furnace
The furnace in your recreational vehicle requires 12-volt electrical current
and propane gas energy for correct operation. The furnace receives 12-
volt power from a fully charged battery and/or the converter in the coach.
This power must be present before propane gas can enter through the
control to the burner tube.
The combustion chamber is completely sealed to prevent any carbon
monoxide or propane from entering into the coach. Oxygen is drawn into
the chamber through the upper vent and exhaust fumes expelled through
the lower vent.
