2022 Coachman Concord CLASS C MOTORHOMES Propane Overview Owners Manual

Propane is a colorless and odorless gas that, when under pressure, is in a liquefied state. If you smell propane in or around your recreational vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the procedure listed on the safety labels affixed to your RV or listed below. The propane gas system in your recreational vehicle supplies fuel for the gas range/oven, water heater, furnace, and refrigerator (while in gas mode). When used and handled properly, this system is safe and economical and provides modern living conveniences wherever you travel. Strictly adhere to all propane warnings printed on propane appliances and devices. Hand tightens the main propane gas system valves only, do not use a wrench or pliers as over-tightening may damage the valve seals and cause them to leak. The propane system is comprised of numerous components such as the propane tank, hoses, propane gas regulator, and piping and copper tubing lines to each appliance. As part of your normal maintenance routine (at least once a year), have a qualified propane service technician perform an inspection of your entire propane system, including a system pressure test. When your RV is in storage, it’s recommended that you turn OFF the gas supply to the unit.

MONITORING PROPANE LEVELS
The amount of propane remaining in the propane tank can be monitored by pressing the appropriate monitor buttons on the monitor panel or main multiplex system panel (if equipped).
REFILLING THE PROPANE TANK
Since the propane tank is permanently mounted to the frame, the motorhome must be taken to a propane dealership for filling. Do not attempt to remove the propane tank from the vehicle. The tank is equipped with a fill adapter with both internal and external threads, which allows easy filling with any propane filling equipment. The tank is full when liquid propane gas appears at the overflow valve. New propane containers are filled with inert gas, which must be carefully purged before filling with propane.
PROPANE REGULATOR
The propane is stored with extreme pressure in the tank with space in the tank to allow for expansion into vapor. This vapor is reduced in pressure by passing through a regulator. This reduction in pressure is a two-step process that ensures consistent pressure for use, regardless of outside temperatures, weather, or altitude.
