Clipper Joe

Hi Rd Ready,
Read Your Post On LPG System, Hope I Can Explain From Memory.
Remember My Clipper Is A 1977, But I Think All Are Plumb The Same.

From Tank You Have A Rubber LPG Hose From Regulator ( Note: This Is A Special Hose For LPG Liquid Petroleum Gas) ::) I Used A Black Electrical Cover Sleeve Around Mine I Can Try & Get A Photo, Just To Keep It From Rubbing, Then It Goes To A 1/2" Black Pipe @ Rear Wheels They Are Supported With Brackets. Then They Run On Each Sides. Connected Are Brass & Copper Tubing, To Furnace, Oven/ Stove, Fridge. There Is Also Some Shut Of Valves, Main Valve @ LPG Tank, Also Should Have A Shut Off Valve For Fridge & Furnace, I Don't Think There Is On For Oven/ Stove. These Copper Tubes Are Flared Fitting, If You Are Not Sure, You Should Have A Gas Pro Mech. Working On Them. Also You Can Get, Gas Leak Detector From Plumbing Parts House, Some People Use Soap & Water, I Like  A Leak Detector Unit Or Liquid. Remember  You Should Install, A LPG & Carbon Monoxide Sensor If You Are Going To Live In Your Unit.   ;) Also A Smoke Alarm Would Also Be Nice.... ;D

Hope This Helps,

Joe

Hi Rd Ready,
It's Always Better To Be Safe Then Sorry,
LPG Can Fry That Clipper, Un Less Webster Is Fire Proof. :-[

You Can Do Some Of The Tests At Fittings, Turn On LPG Valve,
Make Sure You Set Oven To Pilots Off. Make Sure Furnace Controller Is In Off Position, @ You Have Fridge In Off Gas Position. Then Make Up Some Liquid Dawn Soap & Use A Brush & Put On Fittings & If You See It Bubble You Have A Leak.

But Make Sure, No One Smokes In Or Around RV, While You Have Propane (LPG) Valve On... ;)

Remember, If You Do Find A Small Leak, Use A Tubing Wrench & Back-Up Fitting To Tighten Do Not Over Tighten, Just To Stop Leak.
I Think You Will Be Fine.
Let Us Know How You Make Out.

If Unsure Always Seek A Gas Pro, Who Works With LPG. ;)

Just a quick add-on for folks looking to upgrade to LED interior lighting...I wanted to keep the original aesthetic of the lamps so I ended up going with LED conversion bulbs. The first batch I bought put out a very harsh white light that I was not a fan of. The second batch I bought was a very warm yellowish-white hue that closely mimics the original incandescent bulbs. If you like the same warmer lighting, they are the JAVR 10-3000k warm white 1156 bulbs on Amazon. A pack of 10 will ship with Prime for less than $14, and two packs will get the entire interior done. It also goes without saying...I can't believe what a difference they make with conserving power!
