GAS SERVICES

The gas appliances in your vehicle are fed
from a gas cylinder that is housed in a sealed
cylinder compartment.
Gas flows from the gas container to the appliances via
a gas regulator. This regulator provides a working gas
pressure of 30mbar (1.5kg of gas per hour).
All appliances installed by Auto-Trail are designed to
work within this pressure range. Please ensure that
any additional appliances not fitted by Auto-Trail are
capable of working within this pressure.
Cylinder compartment
Your vehicle is designed to accept two 13kg gas
cylinders, with the compartment easy to access via
a door on either the driver or passenger side of the
vehicle (model dependent). The compartment has low
level ventilation to ensure the safe operation of the
cylinders and should not be obstructed in any way.
Please ensure that items stored in close proximity to
the hatch cannot damage any pipe work and fittings,
and cannot block the ventilation.
CONNECTING AND CHANGING A GAS CYLINDER
Before you can connect a gas cylinder to your vehicle, ensure you have the
correct high-pressure hose for the type of bottle chosen. Different European
countries have different connections. The hose should be fitted to the
bulkhead mounted gas regulator inside your gas compartment. Also ensure
that the sealing washer is present in the connector to ensure a gas tight seal
and that this is fully compressed using the correct tool.
To connect or change a gas cylinder:
• Extinguish any fire, flame or source of ignition.
• Carefully position the gas cylinders into the gas compartment, locating
the bottle into the retaining devices and taking care not to damage any of
the pipe work or fittings.
• Tighten the straps that will hold the cylinders firmly in the compartment.
• Connect the high-pressure hose to the gas cylinder using a suitable tool.
Please ensure that it is connected properly before opening the cylinder
valve.
Gas hoses
Your supplying dealer will advise on the correct type
of high-pressure hose to connect your gas cylinder to
the pressure regulator. This will depend on the type of
gas cylinders you have chosen to carry in your vehicle.
Please inspect flexible hoses regularly for deterioration
or damage and renew, as necessary, with an approved
type. These must also be renewed no later than the
expiry date displayed.
