Now this enquiry may sound a bit stupid but. Whilst at a club site last week we spoke to a camper who was an ex full timer about the issues of obtaining LPG Autogas as we have a camper with LPG tanks fitted under the chassis.
.
He came up with this. Obtain a bottle of Calor propane together with regulator and connection hose, Turn off the on/off valves from the LPG tanks on camper, plug pipe from regulator into barbecue point on camper, turn on barbecue valve then bottle valve. This way onboard tank LPG would be saved in the event of not being able to obtain any nearby.
.
With these words of wisdom in mind I did wonder if any non return safety valve on camper would stop the gas from flowing to the fridge, cooker and water heater., thus increasing pressure in the pipes.
.
It seemed a good idea but to reverse the flow, I`m not so certain, Also wondered if this was common practice with full timers,
.
Your views Gentlemen, Ladies invited as well.
Just back from a week at the Seaview site at Whitstable, Right next to the beach, brilliant left today as it Bank hols now and will fill up rapidly with tents and noise.
.
Thanks for all the advice given, Problem now sorted. Happy bank hols to you all. 2nd covid jab tomorrow, then were away for months.
