GAS SYSTEM
General Information
Liqueed Petroleum Gas (LPG) is the most
convenient ‘portable’ fuel for your vehicle.
The maximum capacity of the gas cylinder
compartment is 1 x 13Kg gas cylinder and 1 x
6Kg gas cylinder.
Your vehicle is installed with en route heating
allowing you to travel safely whilst still using
your heating system and without switching
off the gas cylinders. When travelling, ensure
that your cooking appliances are switched off
before you move your vehicle.
Regularly check the exible gas hose, joints
and connections for tightness. Finally make
sure that each gas appliance is working
efciently to the recommendations of the
appliance manufacturer.
Only use gas cylinders that are mounted in
their dedicated storage locker and secured
using the straps provided. Never extend the
hose; it must not exceed 450mm.
If you decide to use gas cylinders of another
size it is very important that you ensure the
cylinders are adequately supported and they
do not block the ventilation in the openings
in the gas locker compartment. Ensure that
these gas cylinders do not cause damage to
the xtures and ttings located in the gas
cylinder compartment.
Regulator
Your Bailey motorhome is tted with a wall
mounted Truma MonoControl CS safety gas
pressure regulator plumbed inside the gas
cylinder compartment. The gas pressure
regulation system provides an even output
pressure of 30 mbar.
The regulator is a governing device that adapts
the pressure from the gas cylinder to one that
suits the equipment within the motorhome
Do not use a regulator with a different
operating pressure.
A high pressure gas hose with integrated
hose rupture protection (HRP) is essential for
connecting the gas cylinder to the gas pressure
regulation system. The integrated crash sensor
complies with the Heating Equipment Directive
2001-56-EC with the supplements 2004-
78-EC and 2006/119/EC. The crash sensor
enables you to use a Liquid gas heater whilst
driving whilst providing suitable precautions
that there is not an uncontrolled release due to
an accidental disconnection. The gas system is
certied for use throughout Europe whilst the
vehicle is being driven. It is important that all
gas appliances are turned off when at a fuel
station.
In the event of an accident with deceleration of
3.5g ±0.5g acting directly upon the triggering
element, the integrated crash sensor interrupts
the ow of gas.
Gas Hoses
A high pressure hose with hose rupture
protection (HRP) is essential for connecting
the gas cylinder to the gas pressure regulation
system. Truma provides the necessary high-
pressure hoses with the most commonly-
used connection variants for European gas
cylinders.
The pressure regulating devices and
hoses must be replaced with new ones
no more than 5years after their date
of manufacture (every eight years if used
commercially) This is the responsibility of the
operator.
All gas cylinders have unique connections. It is
important to check that you have the correct
hose and/ or adaptor to suit your gas cylinder.
Push on hoses are no longer permitted under
the latest regulations.
Gas cylinders that are not connected to the
gas installation must be closed off at all times
and provided with protective caps.
It is important that only upright gas cylinders
are used when operating the MonoControl CS
gas pressure regulation system. Gas cylinders
from which gas is extracted in the liquid phase
must not be used, since they would result in
damage to the gas system.
