Filler points in doors

[Ditcha]

I have just checked the Gaslow site as I recalled querying this with them when the main dealer of our new MH put it in the door. Gaslow endorse locating the filler cap in the door as it is pictured on their installation manual in their technical section.

Mines in the door works great and ain't getting moved anytime soon.

Ours worked great too Dave, but I couldn't get the bleddy door open wide without a right palava.

Cheers,

As we use ours for a 90 day trip in the winter and have two underslung tank’s they both have remote switching and the filler in the skirt. All very well it’s in the door and that’s where it’s staying fine until any problems that may be aggravated by it’s positioned. For me it’s in the skirt and unlikely to be seeing any of Musk.s satellites if the worst happens.

Some garages etc won't allow you to get LPG if you have an internal filler. In the case of our PVCs which had the gas lockers in the rear under the bed it was a pain as the back doors had to be opened, and for our Globecars we also had to move stuff to get into the locker door which opened into the storage space, it also meant that the small amount of LPG released after filling once the gun was removed made the camper stink for ages plus if it was raining or in winter it was far from ideal.

To get round these issues I put a circular airtight hatch into the side of the locker through which I could access the gas cylinder valves. This solved the issue of turning the gas on/off but obviously not for filling so I put the filler in the rear bumper/corner trim (different on each van).

Great idea, that would solve my last problem, so no more opening huge internal doors
