That bbq connector thing! (1 Viewer)

[phil_in_npton]

Good Morning

Having just renewed my subscription I thought id use the available knowledge to get some information.
On our Motorhome there is an external gas point, which up to now has never been used.
I understand I need to get a “bit” to join it to the actual bbq hose connection but not sure what the “bit” is called.
Can anyone help?
I think it’s a push on/ quick release thing?
Pics of the two parts to be connected and a suggested solution if it can be confirmed!

Maybe I'm being thick but isn't the pipe your holding up the part that screws into the BBQ? What's the other end like?

Hi!
Well spotted, I forgot to add I’m a bit thick, and you are obviously not!
I’ll revisit the situation!

2nd picture top item is the part you need.
The hose pushes onto the barbed stub, the othwr end pushes into the red tap.
As above, you are holding the bbq end of the hose.

Do you want the option of using the camping gas bottle and the moho connection at different times?

If so you’ll need to make up another length of hose (1.5m is advised but I’m running 3m with no adverse effects) with the male connnector at the top of your picture to connect to the van and a corresponding female to the other end. Then cut into your existing hose somewhere near the bbq connection and fit another male to the piece running to the bbq and a female to the end from the bottle top regulator. Then you can mix n match between the two and leave the hose connected to the bbq.

To show the end that would be attached to the BBQ point on the MH sans regulator.

He was showing his wrong 'end' originally!

Hi
Regarding use, I’m still unsure but I think I would like to retain the option of using the bbq a bit away from the Motorhome rather than restricting use to hose length. Question really is to provide an alternative and a back up if gas bottle dies half way through cooking.
The push in bit seems the solution, thanks for your assistance!
