bbq gas point

[Rick1]

Hi can someone tell me, on the side of the van I have a gas point for bbq do I have to use another regulator? or is it another fitting used on the hose? the fitting has a red cover that pulls off and looks like it is some kind of quick release fitting

Thanks

Rick

Hi Rick

The socket is almost certainly downstream of the regulator in which case you would not need another regulator. You can probably see inside the front locker where the pipe from the socket goes and this should show you where it joins the main system. I have never heard of a BBQ socket working at gas cylinder pressure but there are people on this forum better qualified than I am who can probably give you a definitive answer. It may help to know which model and year of caravan you have.

What you will need, if you don't have it already, is the fitting that goes on the end of your hose that snaps in to the socket. You are right, it is a quick release fitting. Usually there is a tap on the fitting which will only open when the hose is attached.

Thank you for quick replies it is the part from Towsure that I want not just for bbq sometimes I use a 2 burner stove outside rather than the cooker in the van, so instead of carrying another gas bottle I can connect at this point, Thankyou again

Remember to NEVER use a barbeque or any form of naked flame cooking inside an awning.

check for regulations on hose and length seen some sorry sites with hose all over the place .
