Gasoline usage also depends on the model:
Camperhome: 8 – 10 mpg (23 – 29l /100km)
18-22’ models: 8 – 10 mpg (23 – 29l /100km)
23-25’ models: 7 – 9 mpg (26 – 33l /100km)
27-29’ models: 6 – 8 mpg (29 – 39l /100km)
Class A models: 6 – 8 mpg (29 – 39l /100km)
These are approximations; how and where you drive also affect the miles per
gallon. El Monte RV makes no claims as to gasoline consumption.
Propane runs various features of the motorhome, such as the stove, hot water
heater, furnace and the refrigerator. The functionality of these as well as
operation of the LPG system will be discussed in a later chapter.
WARNING: All propane-supplied systems, as well as the propane valve MUST
be turned off before entering a gas station!
The following things should be done while stopping for fuel:
a. Check all fluids.
b. Check the air pressure in the tires. Refer to the manufacturer’s sticker located in
the driver’s side door for the recommended pressure for your vehicle. Pressure
figures on the sticker are for tire pressure when the tire is cold (driven less than 2
miles or when the unit is parked for more than 2 hours).
c. Check the oil in the generator. It will use the same oil as the engine compartment,
10W-30.
d. Check for leaks under the vehicle.
e. Check and adjust side mirrors if necessary.
