Isata 3 LP Shutoff

We have a 2019 Isata 3 FW. I am trying to find a shutoff switch or valve for the LP system. The only valve I can find is in the LP compartment, marked ’Vapor’.

You should have a round handle on the value you screw clockwise to close the valve. The vapor bleed is used when they fill the tank.

The valve looks just like the one on the top of any BBQ grill tank you may have used. See below.

FYI, always a good idea to close the valve whenever you are not using the RV.

That's the one. Closes down the tank.

The vapor valve seems to be the only thing in the compartment that does not require a tool.

The Vapor valve is the little square one at the top, Label is in wrong place. The round one is the LP shutoff.

Mbgingeet, a lot of stuff thrown at you.

The only valve you will use is the round handle. The vapor release and the filling port under the yellow cover will be used by the folks that fill your propane tank.

Please post any other questions you have as you get acquainted with your RV.

Thank you. I thought the shutoff should be easy to see and use. The vapor label in the wrong place makes the most sense.

Our Isata 3 is a 2018 and the valve on the tank is the shutoff valve.
