Gas Supply & Hob - Volkswagen T6 Manual

There are connectors that swap the polarity and also test units to make sure that you know
what the polarity is on each site.
Use the supplied cable in the UK, it will only fit one way around, and lift the magnetic cover
on the rear OS to insert the blue cable socket. Care must be taken to ensure that the
amperage from the internal devices does not exceed the supply (from the camping site
connection)
The only 240V outlet (double) is below the main switch panel near the hob area. These are
standard outlets and incorporate USB charging points.
If the Left hand switch on the MAIN 240V RCB unit is on (up) the 240v charger will
automatically charge the leisure battery.
Gas Supply & Hob
The gas system has been kept very simple. There are only two connections, one at each
end of the system. The gas bottle (Campingaz Butane 907) is a standard EU wide
configuration. This means gas refills or exchange bottles are available everywhere across
Europe. The volume of gas is enough for about 10 days use.
Gas Storage & Safety While Travelling or Sleeping:
The gas bottle is kept near the gas vent and is easily disconnected by unscrewing the top
connection for safety. The bottle is held against a padded area with a bungee strap. The
easiest way remove the bottle from the pipe and regulator is to remove the gas bottle from
the cupboard (remove the bungee strap at the front hook first), and turn the bottle to
unscrew the regulator. Assembly is the reverse procedure.
When travelling or sleeping the bottle can be disconnected from the regulator for additional
safety as detailed above.
This arrangement also has the capability to use the same gas bottle on an external BBQ
that has a similar pipe and connector.
Safety Detectors:
As Butane is heavier than air it falls. This potentially can lead to a low down build up of
gas that can explode, the vent is there to help prevent any build up if there is a leak. A
standard gas monitor can be mounted low down. These are battery operated and easy to
fit. (see Appendix)
A carbon monoxide monitor can also be installed higher up to detect if the hob starts
malfunctioning. It is advisable to make sure there is adequate ventilation (window, doors)
when using the hob burner.
Hob System:
Please refer to the hob instructions in the appendix for hob use (these instructions are poor
but the hob use is quite simple and a quick overview follows:
Open the window (and a door ideally) when using the burners to ensure that there is no
build up of gases.
To turn on a burner – hold down & turn the black knob anti-clockwise and at the same
