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 valves for the hot water system is beside the system under the bed and gas cooktop is located
in the cupboard beneath the cooktop.
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 and ventilation 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.
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 damp
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.
