Hi All,

Is it something that should be done by a certified gas engineer or is it ok to do it yourself assuming you are confident in your skills?

It's a pretty simple thing to do, but you need to be sure there are no leaks once you have done it.
Me? I would happily do it (and have done in the past) But I did/would check carefully fir any leaks.

To all the nay-sayers who will tell you tge world will end if you do I will just ask them what's the difference between replacing a regulator, and changing your gas cylinder? Or for that matter replacing your pigtail? Both require gas tight joints

Fully agree. If you are intelligent do it.

I carry an aerosol can of gas leak detection spray. Use this to check your new joints with the gas flowing.

I would say the same , its your caravan , The main thing is to check for leaks , obviously not with a naked flame:oops: . Don't also forget to change the pigtail if 10 years old or older, or more importantly if it is showing signs of external damage.
