Connecting the Gas
Your caravan is fitted with plumbed gas with the regulator and gas bottle placement at the front of the trailer. Always
ensure gas bottles are serviceable and within the 10-year service life. This information is stamped on the bottle base.
Once you connect your gas bottle you can connect the external BBQ gas hose to the bayonet connection provided.
Once the bayonet is secure, ensure all controls on the stove are in the “Off” position and then turn on the gas bottle
valve. When the burner ignites hold the button down for 5 seconds then release.
NOTE: It will take up to a minute or
so for the gas to purge the line and flow through the burners.
Internal Kitchens and Hot Water Systems each have an isolation valve on their gas supply line. Ensure the
valve is turned on (handle running parallel to the gas line) when using these appliances.
The gas isolation valve for the internal cooktop and oven is situated in the cupboard beside the oven. Fig: 6
The gas isolation valve for the hot water system is situated beneath the forwardmost seat on the lounge area. Fig: 7

All gas appliances and supply must be turned off at the isolation valve when towing. Always turn off your gas
bottle before towing your caravan. Never use gas appliances without adequate ventilation and always remove
any gas flue covers before use.
Do not place items near or on any gas flue or exhaust as this may result in a fire or malfunction causing
serious injury or death. Always keep a minimum of 500mm clearance from all flue’s and exhausts.
