Connecting the Gas
WARNING: Your caravan is fitted with a gas detector. Check operation of the gas detector each time you use
your caravan.
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 kitchen gas hose to the bayonet connection provided. (Fig:5)
Once the bayonet is secure, ensure all controls on the stove are in the “Off” position and then turn on the gas bottle
valve. If your kitchen stove is fitted with electric ignition, plug the connector into the 12v socket beside the kitchen and
turn on the required burner whilst pressing the ignition button. 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.
Your gas monitor will be located at floor level.
Protecting from Mould
Mould is very difficult to clean once a porous surface
is affected. There are several ways you can prevent
the occurrence of mould on your caravan.
Never leave your camper packed away wet. If you
must leave a campsite with wet canvas or a damn
interior, be sure to open and dry out your tent
thoroughly at the very first opportunity when you get
home. Mould can develop in just a couple of days so
don’t take the risk.
When packing up dry, it is important to check under the mattress that there is no build-up of condensation overnight.
Body heat on a mattress can create enough temperature difference with the exterior for moisture to form under it. If left
unchecked this can cause mould when your caravan is stored.
