3.3 Gas System
All gas appliances fitted to your trailer are suitable for operation on both Butane and Propane
without the need for adjustment.
3.3.1
Gas Cylinders
Bottled Butane and Propane are also known as Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG). Cylinders are available in
many different sizes but your gas box is only sized to take cylinders between 6 and 7Kg.
•
Butane
Butane is supplied in the UK in 7Kg Green or Blue cylinders.
In the UK a hose with a clip on adapter is used to connect to Butane cylinders.
Butane is suitable for use at temperature down to 2
o
C but will not work below that
temperature as it remains a liquid in the bottle below 2
o
C. Therefore butane is not suitable
for use in winter.
•
Propane
Propane is supplied in the UK in 6Kg Red cylinders.
In the UK a hose with a male left hand thread end is used to connect to Propane cylinders.
Propane will work at temperatures down to -40
o
C and is therefore suitable for winter and all
year use.
3.3.2 General Information
Make sure that heating, cooking appliances and gas cylinders are switched off before you move the
trailer.
All gas appliances in your trailer can have their gas supply individually isolated by turning off the
relevant tap on the gas manifold. The manifold is located in the gas box beside the regulator. The
taps are quarter turn, when the tap handle is in line with the outlet pipe the tap is open, and when
the tap handle is perpendicular to the outlet pipe the tap is closed.
Regularly check flexible gas hoses, joints and connections for tightness. All hoses should be replaced
before the expiry date marked on the hose or every five years, whichever is sooner.
Regularly check that each appliance is working efficiently to the recommendations of the appliance
manufactures.
Your trailer is fitted with a gas regulator. It is a governing device which reduces the gas cylinder
pressure to 30mbar to suit the appliances fitted to the trailer and is suitable for both propane and
butane liquid petroleum gas. There are different dedicated hoses available to connect the regulator
to the gas cylinder depending on the cylinder used. Contact your retailer who will have stock of
these hoses. Note, in mainland Europe the LPG cylinders are different and will require a different
hose and connection.
U.K. trailers are supplied with Propane hose as standard. This will not connect to a Butane bottle. To
connect a Butane bottle you will need to purchase a Butane hose and adaptor.
