Gas System
This vehicle is fitted with a refillable “Gaslow” system. This allows you to refill the fitted
gas bottle at any garage selling LPG (liquefied petroleum gas, also known as Autogas).
You will find a book in the glove pocket showing where you can find garages selling
LPG. On the Continent there are many more such garages but you will need to use the
adaptor which you will find in the gas locker.
LPG is highly flammable and explosive, so unnecessary tampering with the cylinder is
prohibited unless you are turning on/off the control tap on top of the cylinder. This
MUST be turned off during travel as it is ILLEGAL to travel with it turned on.
There is an outlet on the right hand side of the vehicle which allows you to plug a gas
barbeque in to the motorhome
’s gas supply.
LPG is heavier than air and will sink to the bottom of any area. This is why the locker
that holds the cylinders has holes to allow an escape route for any leaking gas. NEVER
block these holes nor store anything other than the fitted LPG cylinders in the locker.
You will find 4 red isolation switches in the cupboard. From top to bottom they are
Oven, Fridge, Hob, Boiler. If there is a problem with one of the appliances this allows
you to isolate it whilst continuing to use the others, but do not touch them otherwise.
Before using the gas system ensure you have removed the vent cover on the outside of
the vehicle behind the passenger door. This should be replaced before moving off.
