V. LP GAS SYSTEMSLP Gas Systems - Your coach uses liquid-petro-

leum (LP)gas as a fuel for all the appliances whichrequire heat. such as the water heater. furnace.range. oven. and absorption-type refrigerator. LPgasis economical and effective for these purposes; whenproper precautions are taken. it is a safe form ofenergy. There are two types of LP gas in commonusage. propane and butane. If the temperature isbelow 32 degrees F.. butane will not vaporize. It canbe used only in warm climates. Propane. on theother hand. will vaporize at any temperature above40 degrees F. Most LP gas used in motorhomes ispropane.

A. LPTank- LP gas is stored in a cylindrical-shaped welded

steel tank mounted to the underside of the floor ofyour Born Free Coach and vented freely to the at-mosphere so that in case of a leak the gas will notbe discharged into the interior of the coach where itmight be ignited by a pilot flare and cause an ex-plosion.

All LP-gas systems have a pressure regulatormounted in the vicinity of the tank outlet.

When any appliance is not being used. the gasshut-off valve controlling that appliance should beplaced in the "off' position. When the motorhorne isto be stored for any period of time. the main shutoffvalve at the tank should be closed.

LP GAS DETECTOR - A standard feature in allBorn Free Motorcoaches is the Lp-gas detector. It isdesigned to quickly detect leakage in any LP-gaspiping and appliance system. The device does not

~prevent leaks. A beeper will sound if there is a leak.We encourage you to test the device before and af-ter a trip is undertaken.

Checking for Leaks - The LP-gas system shouldbe checked for leaks at frequent intervals. An oilysubstance having a pungent odor is mixed with LP-gas so that if there is a leak. you will be able tosmell it.

The best method of finding a leak is to use a soapsolution made from ordinary dishwashing detergentand water. This solution can be applied with a smallpaint brush to gas lines and connections. Bubbleswill appear at any place where gas is leaking out ofthe system. Most leaks occur at fittings and can becorrected usually by tightening the fitting. Wheretightening fails to stop the leak. the fitting must bereplaced.WARNING- No flammable material should everbe used to check for leaks in an LP-gas system.

Occasionally water may find its way into an LP-gas system and if this water freezes. the operationof the system may fail. The addition of anhydrousmethanol to the LP-gas system. using approximatelyone ounce for each 20 lbs. of fuel, will usually elimi-nate this problem. The anhydrous methanol absorbs

the water and it then passes out of the system asthe gas is used.

Most of the gas appliances in your Born FreeMotorcoach have electronic pilot lights which willengage to light the fuel upon demand. These appli-ances all have a device built-in that will shut theflow of gas off to the burner if the burner is notignited.

B. Maintenance of LP-Gas SystemsLP-gas systems normally operate for periods of

time with a minimum of maintenance. However. afew tips on maintenance will be useful. One of theworst enemies of LP-gas systems is the spider. Spi-ders are attracted to tunnels and holes. They fre-quently spin webs across and through the orificesof gas-fired appliances. These webs restrict the airflow and produce a weak yellow flame which typi-cally deposits carbon. If a yellow flame is detected.all parts of the burner should be wiped clean andorifices should be blown clear with compressed air.

If spider webs are not present and the flame isstill too yellow and filled with carbon. the air ad-justment of the burner should be adjusted.until ablue flame is maximized. .

C. FurnaceThe furnace in your Born Free is an LP-gas burn-

ing model which will distribute heat throughout thecoach. It is controlled by a wall thermostat. Thefurnace is equipped with electronic ignition. To startthe furnace simply position the thermostat to thedesired temperature,'making sure the LP-gas valveis open at the tank. When not in use remember toposition the wall thermostat to the "off' position.

Furnace Main Burner Cleaning - We recommendthat you inspect the main burner periodically toassure that the furnace burner is functioning atmaximum efficiency. If the flame has become yel-low. you should remove the burner and clean it witha wire brush and blow it clean with compressed air.Reinstall the burner and ensure that the burner isburning with a hard blue flame. with well definedburner ports. Refer to the furnace manual for properremoval of the burner assembly.

D. Water HeaterBefore you can light the water heater. it must be

filled with water. With the water pump switch on.open a hot water faucet to fill. The water pump willpush water into the waterheater tank. and the airdisplaced will escape from the open hot water fau-cet. A steady flow of water from the open hot waterfaucet will indicate the tank is full and the faucetmay be shut off.The best time to fill the water heateris when you are filling the fresh water tank. Youwill take six gallons of water from your supply tankand your supply tank will not be full.

On the back of the water heater we have installed

BORN FREE· 37

a bypass system. This system consists of threevalves and is used to winterize the coach's watersystem for cold weather. Using the bypass systemcuts down on the amount of antifreeze needed and.also keeps antifreeze out of the water heater. Thisbypass system can also be used during cold weatherwhen you want to use the toilet by placing biode-gradable antifreeze in the fresh water tank for atoi-let flushing water source.

Lighting the Water Heater-1. Turn on the gas supply at the LP-gas tank.2. Push the water heater ignition switch in the

coach to the "on" position. Listen for a click-ing sound. This indicates that the heater istrying to light. You will hear the burner whenIt lights. If it fails to light. a light will come onat the switch. Shut the switch off and repeatthe procedure until it lights. Water tempera-

ture is factory adjusted and cannot bechanged. The water heater will cycle on andoff to maintain the proper temperature.

Maintenance - Turn the Lp-gas valve "off" be-fore draining. Open the drain valve and open thelever on the pressure relief valve on the outside ofthe heater. The pilot height can be increased or de-creased by removing the protective shield aroundthe pilot light and adjusting the small screw con-trolling the gas to the pilot light. Air adjustment forthe burner can be adjusted by moving the air sleeveto increase or decrease air. Yellowish. smoky flamewill indicate that the burner needs more air. If ad-justment does not reduce yellow flame. the prob-lem is likely due to an obstruction in the pipe. Thisis a favorite place for spiders to spin a web. imped-ing air to the burner. Simply clear the obstructionfrom the tube and repeat the lighting procedure.

Water Heater Bypass and Draining Illustrations

The positioning of the valves (A.B.C)when winteriz-ing with antifreeze. This allows antifreeze to gothrough cold water pipe, through bypass and outthrough hot water pipe. (See shaded area.) Anti-freeze will not go through heater if in this position.You should not run antifreeze through your heateras the tank will "trap" the taste of the antifreeze forsummer use.

The positioning of valves (A,B,C» for use of waterheater. This allows cold water to go through heaterand come out as hot water. (See shaded area.)

The three drain valves shouldappear like this when closed.

To open,unscrew.

E. RefrigeratorYour Born Free Motorcoach is equipped with an

LP-gas and lIO-volt AC refrigerator. The refrigera-tor should be started a few hours before leaving on

\. any trip or outing. Pre-chill all food and beveragesin your house refrigerator before placing in the coachrefrigerator. This will hasten the time that it takesto get the refrigerator cool, and will not raise thetemperature by placing too great a load on it sud-denly. An inexpensive refrigerator thermometer canbe purchased at most hardware stores and will provevery valuable in monitoring the temperature of therefrigerator.

The refrigerator must be level to operate efficientlyas the gases and fluids within the cooling unit de-pend on gravity for circulation. While traveling down-the highway, regular movement of the coach allowsthe gases and fluids to circulate properly. We ad-vise you to carry a few short pieces of 2x4 or 2x6lumber to elevate the coach to attain proper level-ing.A. Electric operation

1. Turn Gas/Electric Selector Switch to "off' po-sition; then press the knob inward and turnclockwise to the "ELEC" position.

2. Set the electric thermostat, turn knob 1/4turn.

3. After refrigerator has had time to cool, adjustelectric thermostat to the desired setting to

, maintain the desired temperature.\.......' B. LP-Gas Operation

1. Turn LP-gas on at supply tank.2. Turn Gas/Electric Selector Switch counter-

clockwise to the "GAS" position.~ '" 3. Set gas thermostat by turning knob 1/4 turn.

4. Press starter button to stop and keep it de-pressed when flashing ltghtgoes out. Wait 15seconds and release button.

Travel Latch - A travel latch has been built intothe front of the refrigerator to prevent the doors fromopening during travel. To operate the latch slide thelatch towards you until the latch engages the door.

Defrosting - The freezer compartment may bedefrosted in the following manner:

1. Turn the cooking unit "off."2. Allow the- frost to melt. Inserting the ice trays

filled with hot water will hasten this process.3. Do not attempt to chip the frost away from any

part of the cooling unit. Damage to the coolingunit may result.

4. Clean the entire refrigerator with a mild deter-gent and water, dry with a soft towel, and al-low the unit to air dry before re-starting therefrigerator.

/ 5. We advise you to follow this cleaning proce-<__ . dure following any trip.

Refrigerator TroubleshootingPilot flame blow-out is not unusual when sub-

jected to strong gusty winds from other vehicles.

Do not obstruct the outside vent by covering it orplacing any kind of material inside the vent door.For proper operation, air must be drawn in throughthe side vent. allowed to pass over the cooling unit,and then drawn upward through the roof vent. Anyblockage of this "chimney action" will impair theoperation of the refrigerator.

For maintenance and warranty work, refer to themanufacturer's manual.

F. Range and OvenThe range in your Born Free Motorcoach is ei-

ther a two-burner or four-burner model. To oper-ate simply turn on the LP-gas at the tank. Turn onthe gas control to the desired burner and light theburner with a match or igniter.

The oven is equipped with a safety pilot whichmust be ignited before the oven burner will oper-ate. Move the oven control knob by pushing inward,then turning to "OVENOFF" position. Light the ovenpilot with a match and allow it to warm a few min-utes before advancing the oven control. The pilot islocated inside the oven, under the burner shelf, ap-proximately midway on the burner. Set the ovenheat control to the desired temperature. and it willcome on under the control of the pilot and thermo-stat. Restoring the oven control to "OVEN OFF" willturn off the oven burner, but allow the pilot to re-main lit. It may be left in this position until nexttime the oven is used. When returning from a trip.restore the oven thermostat to "PILOT OFF" posi-tion. When in transit it is important that the con-trol be in the "PILOTOFF" position.WARNING- The oven and range are not a substi-tute for your furnace and should never be usedto heat the coach.

Maintenance and AdjustmentsIfyou are using an Lp-gas range for the first time,

you will notice flame height is appreciably lower thanthe natural gas range in your home. LP-gas con-tains more BTU per unit than natural gas and alower flame will cook as quickly and contain as muchheat as the larger natural gas flame.

The flame should always be a blue color withoutany yellow tips. If yellow starts to form on the tips,it will smoke or soot the bottoms of your cookware.This condition can be remedied by adjusting thesleeve shutter to each individual burner to allowfor the proper air mixture.

Refer to your range-oven manual for warrantyservice and any other adjustments required.

VI. PLUMBING

A. Fresh Water SystemFresh water can be supplied from two sources: a

water tank located inside the motorcoach, or froma campground water source connected to the waterintake through a garden hose.

The fresh water tank system is equipped with ademand pump that controls water pressure by useof a switch built into the pump. When a faucet isopened, pressure in the line drops, causing thepump to start. When the faucet is closed, pressurebuilds up quickly and the pressure switch shutsoff the pump. The manual switch, located on therange vent, is used to cut off the electrical power tothe demand pump. The pump operates on 12-voltpower.

NOTE - It is good practice to turn off the pumpswitch when leaving the coach for a period of timeand when retiring for the night. If the pump cycleson and off occasionally, shut the pump offand checkthe system for leaks.

B. Fresh Water TankThe fresh water tank filler is located outside the

coach on the driver's side. Using a garden hose,allow the water to run into the tank at a moderatelyslow speed. This will allow the air to escape and thetank will fill much easier. After the tank is full, al-low the air to purge for about 3-4 minutes. You maybe able to get several more gallons in the tank. Re-minder - Remember to fill the water heater whenfilling the fresh water tank. See the instructions for

~going so listed under "Water Heater."

C. City Water ConnectionWhen parked in a campground which has hookup

facilities for "city water," a connection has been pro-vided on the outside of the coach. To use, connect awater hose to this fitting and turn off the demandpump. The city water pressure will provide adequatemovement. The city water connection will by-passthe fresh water system and will not fill the freshwater tank.

NOTE - Some water systems have very high wa-ter pressure, so to guard against damage to pres-sure-limiting components, do not run faucets wideopen.

("'-"

D. ToiletWe currently use two kinds oftoilets: Flush-type

and recirculating-type.1. Flush-type -To operate step on the small (right)

pedal and hold until a desired amount of wa-ter, above the .normal refill level, enters thebowl. Step on the large pedal to flush. Releaseboth pedals slowly. On some models an op-tional hand sprayer is included. To use simplydepress the thumb lever while stepping on the

flush pedal.2. Recirculating-type - A recirculating toilet uses

a self-contained compartment to hold water, apump (electric), and a drain valve. To fill stor-age compartment, pour 3 gallons of water di-rectly into the bowl. Press the electric switchseveral times to prime the pump and to startrecirculating cycle. Add liquid holding tank de-odorant to the water.

3. Maintenance - To clean the toilet use a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use highly concen-trated or acid content cleaners, or abrasivepowders. These may damage the seals or plas-

"tic parts of the toilet.NOTE - We highly recommend that you use anRV-type toilet paper. These types of paperbreakdown and are easily discharged.

E. Drain SystemsTo provide complete self-containment and to com-

ply with requirements of good sanitation practices,your Born Free is equipped with a dual tank drainsystem. The sanitary holding tank (black water tank)receives waste from the toilet. The second tank (graywater tank) collects waste water from the sinks andshower.

The two tanks share a common outlet for con-necting the regular three-inch sewer hose for emp-tying, but each has its own slide valve so they can'be evacuated separately. This connection, along withtwo slide valves, is located on the driver's side, nearthe center or at the rear of the coach.

F. Holding Tank EvacuationThe holding tank should be evacuated only at an

authorized 'sanitary disposal station or sewerhookup at a campground. Position your Born Freeat the sanitation station so the sewer connection islocated near the drain opening. Remove the cap onthe drain opening and install the sewer hose to theconnection. Place the open end of the sewer hose inthe disposal drain, and hold it in position duringthe entire evacuation process. Each tank should bedrained separately, dumping the black water wastetank first. Avoid opening both valves at one time,avoiding the contents of either tank running intothe other. Pull the slide valve handle all the way outso the contents will run out in a quick flushingmanner. When the tank is empty, close the valveand run clear water through the toilet into the tankfor rinsing, The best method of rinsing either tankis to close the slide valve and fill either tank throughthe toilet or one of the sinks with fresh water, Again,open the slide valve to allow the rinse water to evacu-ate. Close slide valve and re-engage retaining clips.Evacuate the gray water waste tank in the samemanner. Disconnect the sewer hose, rinse, and re-place the sewer hose in its carrier.

G. Parking In a Campground With HookupsWhen parked in a campsite with sewer hookup

facilities, connect the drain hose and open the grayholding tank drain valve. This 'will allow completewater drainage during your stay and your holdingtank will remain empty. The drain valve should re-main closed during your stay. If you leave the valveopen, liquids will run out and leave solids behind.The proper method is to leave the slide valve closedallowing wastes to accumulate. If this is done. theevacuation procedure will allow the quick-flush prin-ciple to carry all wastes out the drain at the sametime.

VII. SEASONAL PROTECTION

Each year more travelers discover winter camp-ing. With your new Born Free Motorcoach, you don'thave to wait, you are ready now. The coach is builtwith adequate insulation. ventilation. and construc-tion principles that can keep you warm all winterlong. If the unit is being heated with the furnace,the only precautions necessary to prevent freezing ,are to add RV antifreeze to the holding tanks andsink drains.

NOTE - Do not use automotive-type antifreeze.This ethylene glycol-type antifreeze is poisonous andnot approved for potable water systems.

A. WinterizingIf you choose to store your motorcoach during

the winter months, protection has, to be providedfor .:tJ4ewater and drain systems. The procedure isas follows:

1. Allow as much water to evacuate from the sys-tem through a faucet as possible.

2. Turn water pump switch "OFF."3. Drain water tank and lines through three drain

valves located inside the lower cupboards. Alsodrain holding tanks.

4. Open water heater drain and drain water fromtank.

5.~~~-,

6. Turn valve "B" parallel to bypass water line.7. When system is drained. shut drain valves and

install 1-2 gallons of "non-toxic RVHantifreezeinto the fresh water tank.

8. Turn the water pump switch "ON" and openfaucets until antifreeze flows through each of 'them. Also flush toilet until antifreeze appears.

9. Shut water pump "OFF."10. Pour 1/2 gallon of antifreeze down the shower

drain, kitchen sink, and bath sink.11. Your motorcoach is now "winterized."

Along with protecting the water and drain sys-tems, we advise you to follow these simple sugges-tions for proper winter storage:

..,; "

1. Remove all bedding and clothing to preventmildewing.

2. Remove all food stuffs and clean cupboards.3. Affixnewspapers to inside windows with mask-

ing tape. This protects carpets, curtains, and"cushions from ultraviolet damage.

4. Clean the refrigerator thoroughly and place anopen package of baking soda inside, leavingthe door open."

5. Clean all appliances and stove vents.6. Shut LP tank valve "OFF."7. Remove the auxiliary battery and store up off

any concrete floor. It is advisable to charge thebattery once or twice during storage .

B.Summer De-Winterizing Of UnitFollow the following procedure to de-winterize

your coach:1. Fill fresh water tank with 5-10 gallons of clean

water.2. Turn water pump switch "ON."3. Open faucets and allow water to run until col-

oration and foam is gone. '4. Allowwater to flow in toilet until water is clear.5. Drain remainder of fresh water tank.6. Refill fresh water tank.7. Turn valves "A"and "C" on water heater paral-

lel with water lines. Turn valve "B" crosswaysto by-pass water line.

8. Drain holding tanks.9. Your system is now ready for normal summer

use. Antifreeze has been kept out of your wa-ter heater to prevent lingering tastes andsmells.
