• Adequate propane and electrical supply is needed along with protection from possible

freeze-ups on the propane regulator. The furnace will substantially increase battery
draw and propane use.

• During cool weather usage, ventilation or the addition of a dehumidifier may be

required to reduce condensation. See the next section for important information on
controlling condensation.

CONDENSATION

Condensation is a natural phenomenon. The amount of condensation will vary with the
climate conditions, particularly the relative humidity. Condensation occurs because there
is water vapor present in the air, which is added by breathing, bathing and cooking. The
water vapor collects where there is available air space, and when the temperature reaches
the ‘dew point’ the water vapor in the air condenses and changes to liquid form. Most
people have experienced a similar phenomenon when moisture forms on kitchen windows
and bathroom mirrors during cool weather.

Proper ventilation and, if needed, the use of a dehumidifier will assist in controlling the
condensation. Many RV and marine dealers carry small dehumidifiers especially sized for
recreation use. Condensation causes dampness, mildew, staining and if allowed to
continue at high levels, damage to the paneling and wood structures. It is the owner’s
responsibility to make sure that condensation is properly removed from the air.

INSURANCE

As with your automobile, it is important that you protect yourself and others with insurance
coverages for personal liability, theft, collision, property damage, etc. Your independent,
authorized dealer can assist you in obtaining appropriate insurance for your protection or
you may check with the company which provides your automobile insurance or other
insurance companies.
