RV LP Gas System Repair and Maintenance DIY

You can locate this compartment by walking around the coach and finding the compartment that has a handle on it but with no lock. It is against the law to have a lock on it in case of an emergency you can access it promptly and turn off the gas. You then open up the compartment and you will see your LP tank. There is a gauge that tells you how much is inside the tank, there is also a fill station where you fill it up, always make sure the cap is returned after filling it up, so no debris gets inside. There is also a pressure release valve so when you are filling it, the pressure can escape through there so you can get the proper amount of propane in there. You can then locate the on and off valve. Of course when the unit is stored you want to close it, and when you are using it you want to open it. The LP regulator is right next to the on and off knob, which once a year you need to have checked out for leaks. The proper way to do it is check it with a monometer. What this does is measure the water column inches of propane coming into the coach. The proper reading would be right around eleven. The average person does not have this device. So what you can do to check for leaks is turn the system on and get a spray bottle with soapy water in it and what you do is spray all your connections, what you are looking for at this point is if anything bubbles up, if you start to see some bubbling that means that there is a leak and he need to have that tightened up, fixed replaced or whatever you need to do. Any connection you're your coach that has an LP, like your refrigerator, stove, and water heater, all those have LP going through them so you want to check all the connections on those. You can check the one on the refrigerator which is located in the compartment right above this and you can just open it up and spray the soapy water on the connections to see if there is any bubbling. If there is a leak on any connections you may want to tighten it or take it in.
