We acquired the above van a few days ago and I'm trying to rectify a few defects and shortages.
A clip-on butane regulator with about 30cm of 8mm ID hose was lying inside one bottle storage compartment and there was a 94 vintage pigtail with nothing on the 'regulator end', but the pigtail was 6mm ID and was attached to what looks like a solenoid valve. The valve has a copper pipe coming out of the other connection.
I had hoped that I could remove the 6mm pigtail and replace it with an 8mm one and then attach a new regulator, but I can't get the 6mm one off. It has been suggested that it might be a left-hand thread but it is some miles away from me now so I can't explore that possibility.
It is now over 50 years since I had anything to do with caravans so I would welcome any advice out there in expert-land.
Thanks in advance, Hugh.
