Travelling
Do not travel with water in the tank. It is
strongly recommended that all water is
drained from the tank before travelling.
Gas (LPG)
The gas installation of your caravan has
been designed to meet the requirement
of EN1949 and BS 5482.
EN1949 requires a fixed outlet pressure
regardless of the gas type and lays
down a harmonised pressure of 30m
bars for LPG installations in touring
caravans across Europe. Your caravan
is fitted with a regulator which meets
these requirements and thus allows
users to move freely between European
countries by being able to purchase any
LP gas type. Different bottle types are
accommodated by using different hose
adapters, which connect to the
30 mbar regulator.
Warning
It should be noted the standard
UK domestic butane or propane
regulator is not suitable for use on
caravans manufactured to EN1949.
They are not set on 30 mbar and
have a greater outlet pressure
tolerance. Likewise the current
standard automatic changeover
regulator will not be suitable.

Warning
• Do not use appliances which have a
different working pressure.
• The gas system should only be modified
by competent and qualified persons.
• The gas system and appliances must be
inspected/maintained every 12 months
(irrespective of usage) by a qualified
technician.
• The caravan is designed to accept a
maximum of 2 x 7 kg steel butane or 2 x
6 kg propane bottles or 1 x 5 kg.
• Ensure there is no stress at the hose
assembly when it is connected to the
cylinder.
• If using an external LPG supply the
pressure must not be less than 0.3 bar
and not greater than 0.5 bar.
• Inspect flexible hoses on a regular basis
for deterioration, wear and damage and
renew as necessary with an approved
type, in any case no later than the expiry
date marked on the hose.
• Do not site bottles outside the gas
locker compartment as this would
necessitate the use of a high
pressure hose in excess of 450mm.
• Do not use any additional independent
gas appliances inside your caravan.
• When changing cylinders ensure that
all appliances are turned off and the
service valve is closed.
• Use appliances only for the purpose for
which they were designed/installed eg.
Do not use cookers as a space heater.
