GAS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Gas Bottles
Bottled Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) is the
most convenient portable source of fuel for
your vehicle.
Unless en-route heating has been installed,
make sure that heating and cooking appliances
and the gas cylinders are switched off before
you move the vehicle.
Your Motorhome has a factory fitted habitation
en-route LPG heating system that can be used
whilst travelling. Fig 1 shows the two safety
valves features that are part of the system,
these are there for your safety whilst using the
system when travelling. When in use ensure all
other gas appliances are separately isolated
Warning: isolate cylinders when re-fuelling
Regularly check flexible gas hose, joints
and connections for tightness. Finally make
sure that each gas appliance is working
efficiently to the recommendations of the
appliance manufacturers.
Only use gas bottle cylinders that are located
within their dedicated position within the gas
bottle housing, never extend hose - hose
lengths must not exceed 400mm.
Regulator for systems approved for use
when travelling (Fig 1)
Your vehicle is supplied with a wall mounted
gas regulator plumbed inside the gas bottle
compartment. The regulator and all appliances
work at a harmonised 30mb pressure, which
work with Butane and Propane gas.
Pressure regulation system in this vehicle has
a fixed working pressure of 30 mbar with a
flow rate of 1.2 kg/H and complies with the
requirements of EN 12864 annex D.
We do not recommend the use of an inline LPG
BBQ with the 1.2kg/H regulator when other
LPG appliances are in use.
Note: Unless en-route heating is in use the
regulator valves should be in the ‘OFF’
position when driving.

Note: No safety device on this system
Gas Hoses
High-pressure hoses or pigtails as they are
called must be used with the new style regulator.
High-pressure hoses incorporate a safety shut off
valve for the use of the en-route heating system
LPG bottle i.e. Propane, Butane, BP and
Camping Gaz cylinders all have unique bottle
adaptor connections. It is important to check
you have the correct hose and adaptor to suit
your gas bottles.
