THE GAS SYSTEM

All gas appliances fitted to your Bailey caravan are suitable for operation
on both Butane and Propane without the need for adjustment.
General information
Gas Cylinders: Bottled Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) is the most
convenient portable source of fuel for your caravan.
Cylinders are available in four sizes 3.9kg, 4.5kg, 6kg and 7kg. All four
sizes will fit your gas box.

Types of gas

i. Butane
Butane is supplied in the UK in Green or Blue bottles.
Continental bottles usually have a male left hand thread similar to
but not identical with UK Butane.
Butane is suitable for use at temperatures down to 2°C but will not
work below that temperature.
ii. Propane
Propane is supplied in red, or partly red bottles that have a female
left hand threaded connector.
Scandinavian countries use the same connector.
Germany or Austria supply Propane with a male connection.
Propane will work at temperatures as low as -40°C and is therefore
suitable for all winter caravanning.
Make sure that heating, cooking appliances and gas cylinders are switched
off before you move the caravan.
