General information
Gas Cylinders
Bottled Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) is the
most convenient portable source of fuel for
your caravan. Make sure that heating and
cooking appliances and the gas cylinders are
switched off before you move the caravan.
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 front
gas bottle housing, never extend hose - hose
lengths must not exceed 400mm.
Gas Hoses
A high pressure hose must be used with the
regulator to connect to the gas bottle.
LPG cylinders i.e. Propane, Butane and
Camping Gaz cylinders all have varying
cylinder adaptor connections. It is important to
check you have the correct hose and adaptor
to suit your gas cylinders. Push on hoses are
no longer permitted under the new regulations,
The new high-pressure hoses have threaded
connections and must be securely attached to
the regulator and to the gas cylinder.
Ensure that there is a constant rise in the
flexible gas hose between the gas cylinder
outlet and the regulator elbow.
! WARNING: Inspect flexible gas hose(s)
regularly for deterioration and renew as
necessary with the approved type, in any
case no later than 5 years after the date of
manufacture marked on the hose.
! WARNING: Ensure hoses do not
become entangled in door mechanism.
Cylinder compartment
All cylinder compartments have two universal
plastic mouldings fitted to the floor of the
compartment that are designed to fit both steel
and BP Gas Light cylinders and two universal
support cradles with straps for retaining the
bodies of the cylinders at mid to high level and
two universal support cradles with straps for
retaining the bodies of the cylinders at mid to
high level.
! WARNING: Ensure that the hose
assembly is not under stress when
connected to the cylinder.
Regulators
Your caravan is supplied with a wall mounted
gas regulator plumbed inside the gas cylinder
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 1.5 kg/h and complies with the
requirements of EN 12864 annex D.
Note: Regulator valves and cylinder valves
should always be in the ‘OFF’ position when
towing and storage.
! WARNING: When leaving the caravan
for any period of time or storage always turn
off the gas at the gas cylinder.
Note: Never allow modification of electrical
or LPG systems and appliances except
by qualified persons at an authorised
Swift Group dealership.
