Germany or Austria supply Propane with a
male connection.
Propane will work at temperatures as low as
- 40ºC and is therefore suitable for all winter
caravanning.
CONNECTION
Make sure that heating, cooking appliances
and gas cylinders are switched off.
Ensure the regulator has been connected via
the flexible hose supplied by your dealer to
the gas bottle.
Note: Gas bottle valves should always be in
the
‘OFF’ position when towing.
HOSES
Your caravan will be supplied with a Truma
High Pressure hones which must be used
between the pressure regulator and your gas
bottle (there are different adapters for Propane
and Butane and different types of cylinders).
Ensure that the open end of the gas hose is
protected against the entry of dirt or insects if it is
to be left disconnected for any extended period.
GAS SAFETY ADVICE
Regularly check flexible gas hose. Finally
make sure that each gas appliance is
working efficiently to the recommendations
of the appliance manufacturers.
AWNING SPACES LPG APPLIANCE
EXHAUST
There is no danger of pollution of an
enclosed awning space from the LPG
exhaust from a refrigerator venting into it.
If totally enclosed, water heaters may
produce sufficient exhaust to pollute the
awning space, from a general comfort, smell
and hygiene point of view. In extreme cases
there could be a build up of carbon dioxide
to a dangerous level.
Caravan owners are advised to allow some
fresh air circulation in the awning space
when such appliances are in use.
VENTILATION
Fresh air circulation should be allowed
below the caravan when appliances are in
use. At least three sides of the underfloor
space should always be kept open and
unobstructed especially by snow. Do not
make any additional openings in the floor.
Fixed ventilation/gas drop holes are sited
under gas appliances in various locations in
your tourer.
GAS LEAK PRECAUTIONS
a) NO SMOKING, extinguish all naked flames.
b) If a gas leak is suspected immediately
turn off all supply at the cylinder.
c) NEVER look for a leak with a naked flame.
Always use a soap solution or special leak
detecting liquid when testing connections.
d) DO NOT operate any electrical apparatus,
especially light switches. If the leak is not
obvious, the caravan should be evacuated
and qualified personnel consulted. Turn
the supply off at the cylinder.
e) Avoid naked flames when connecting or
changing a cylinder.
FACTS ABOUT LPG
LPG has been given a smell by the
manufacturers in order to identify leaks.
CONNECTING SERVICES - GAS
WARNING
Inspect flexible hoses regularly for
deterioration, wear and damage, and
renew as necessary with an approved
type, in any case not later than the
expiry date marked on the hose.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should fixed
ventilation openings or gas appliance
flues be obstructed in any manner as
this could lead to a build up of
dangerous carbon monoxide. Gas
drop holes under appliances should
also be kept clear at all times.
Grilles and flues should be kept clean
and free from dust.
