You are mistaken on turning the tank OFF. If the tank is under the RV and not easily accessable, they will have an electric solenoid AT the tank. There will be a remote on off electric switch on the pass side in one of the side storage bays/doors. Some of them even have an indicator light with the switch. You need to find and locate that switch for future reference. It is CODE to have a remote shut off system on ASME motorhome LP tanks if mounted underneath where you cannot access the ON/OFF valve handle without crawling underneath. Also, by MOST State LP laws, that valve must be turned OFF when refueling the LP tank. They should then turn it back ON when they are done. Doug wrote:
PS, according to your year owners manual, they show the remote fill hose and 80 percent remote hose, but show NO electric valve. If this is true, you have a potentially dangerous set up. What happens if the LP regulator or lines have a major leak? Crawling under the unit is NOT the best way to attempt to turn the valve OFF.
As always thank you for your help Doug, the only switch I can find is where you fill it there is an on/off switch labeled (Emergency shut off) but I assumed that is for emergency only.
