Gas bottle shut of valves (25 Viewers)

[GaryMo]

You can tell I've been away in the van few weeks, idle hands and lots of questions.

We have large campervan with the gas bottles in a cupboard at the back of the van, to access them you have to open the rear van doors.

The problem on long trips we have the bikes all on and covered up, so getting in the rear doors to open or close the gas bottle is a real pain.

But on a quick stop over we may want to use the gas grill, so need to turn gas on.

We don't want to leave it on, but if we did and then used one off these,
Shut off valve ,
would this be an acceptable safety compromise? We would still shut the bottle for tunnel and ferry trips

That link goes to the wrong item.

I think your best solution would be to fit anti-rupture hoses & a regulator with a crash sensor then you can leave the gas on apart from on ferries.

If you have the latest Gaslow or Alugas refillable bottles they have the rupture valve built it.

We just use standard gas bottles, we don't use much gas so they last the best part of a year, so don't want the expense of refillables

We have a cadac, we also have an electric kettle and inverter, but that's not really the solution I'm looking for

We have Truma Gas Hose with Rupture Protection valves, so no worries. Bob.

Much better to use a proper crash sensor.

You link will leave the fridge, heating, etc running in the event of a crash.

Rupture protection is not enough.

We don't use gas for fridge and heating. Only need to cooking
