modified by a competent person.
Bottled liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is the
most convenient "portable" source of fuel for
your vehicle;
• Butane - 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.
• Propane - supplied in red, or partly red
bottles and have a female left hand
threaded connector. Germany and Austria
supply propane with a male connection.
Propane will work at temperatures as low as
-40°C and is therefore suitable for all year
touring.
When installing gas cylinders it is very
important you ensure the connections on both
the cylinder and the regulator are compatible.
The pressure setting and capacity according
to the manufacturer's instructions must be
correct.
Cylinders should
supported and should not block the ventilation
openings in the gas locker.
Care must be taken to ensure that gas cylinders
do not cause damage to the fixtures and fittings
located within the gas locker.

Regulator

The regulator is a governing device which
adapts the bottle pressure to one that suits the
equipment in the motorhome.
As standard your motorhome is fitted with a
gas regulator. This is located in the gas locker.
The regulator has a working pressure of 30
other
mbar and is therefore suitable for both propane
and butane.
