gas line for cooker on camper trailer

Post by THICKNICK »

recently purchased a camper trailer :D , and fabricated up a kitchenette for it with a gas cooker, now my problem is the flexible gas hose from the gas cooker doesnt reach the gas bottle thats mounted on the side of the trailer, and im too lazy to keep getting the gas bottle out and sitting it next to the cooker.

I have been everywhere and no one can get a longer line for it, or find adaptors suitable for it to attach other lines, had a gas electrician round tonight and he wasnt able to extend it either.

so just wondering if anyones had this drama and found a way around it or know who i should see next.

cheers

Gameco will have everything you need.

They have more than what is listed on their website. I got all my camper trailer stuff from them.

anyhoo, for future reference to those who are gonna have this problem, apparently your camper cookers use a high pressure line and dont require a regulator, high pressure lines for these max at 1.2m and cant be extended or adapted to suit other lines.

You can buy another type of gas cooker to use which use a low pressure line and require a regulator, these can have the longer lines.

so ive been told

gas electrician; an electrician with his aircon gassing ticket or a guy who has done gas fitting (used to be an optional extra for plumbers) and is an electrician.

get a plumber mate or whatever and get him to make up a copper line for you, proper fitting both ends and itll pretty much never go bad.

i'm a licenced plumber/gasfitter but i'd never heard of a gas electrician......................


anyway, if you use copper make sure you clip it well or else it will vibrate and fracture.
if you need to know any regs feel free to pm me.

If you fit a solid line it then has to pass inspection for rego.
