RVs, Trailers and Campers:

When Transporting Cylinders:

• Ensure propane cylinders are upright and secure during transport.
• Keep cylinder valves closed and protected during transport.
• Plug or cap cylinder outlets during transport.

When Using Cylinders:

• Ensure cylinders are upright and secure on a firm footing.
• Check cylinder connections and hoses for leaks by brushing a 50/50 mix of liquid soap and water onto all connections and hoses. Rising bubbles when you turn on the valve indicate a leak. Tighten connections or repair the hose until there are no bubbles.
• Keep cylinders away from flame, heat, and exits.

Using Propane in your RV or Camper:

• Keep all combustion exhaust vents on the exterior wall of your RV or camper clear of obstructions.
• Use stovetop burners or ovens only for cooking and not as a source of heat.
• Propane appliances require an adequate supply of fresh air for proper combustion. Ensure your RV or camper is properly ventilated to prevent build-up of carbon monoxide.
• Install a carbon monoxide alarm and propane leak detector.

Barbecue Safety:

• Ensure barbecues are on firm, level footing.
• Keep barbecues well away from the side of your RV, camper or tent, and other combustibles.
• Make sure igniter buttons work properly before turning the gas on. If there is no igniter, insert a long match or barbecue lighter through the side burner hole before you turn on the grill controls.
• Keep barbecues clean of grease to prevent flare-ups.
• Stay by the grill when cooking and keep kids and pets at a safe distance.
• Turn off all burner controls and tank valves after each use.
