BBQ Point

I always thought that the BBQ points fitted to MH's had a non-return valve in them until last week, when sited our Gaslow bottles where due to be re-filled, so thought:rolleyes: I will try a spare bottle that was left behind by the previous house owner, rather than go to the local Garage.
Removed the pipe and BBQ point adaptor from our Gas grill, fitted a spare regulator, connected up and hey presto, well I never! Free gas:cool:
Still learning after all these years:D

Happy Camping:)
 
The BBQ point from my MH uses the same gas from the bottles that service the cooker and heating. It has a non return valve in the sense when you plug in the gas flows. Unplug and the the valve seals automatically. Our outside shower connection is also in the same location with the same system.

My BBQ point is piped up exactly like yours, but hadn't realised that you could use a free standing bottle connected to the point, this is the point that I am trying to get across.The valve in the BBQ point is obviously a shut off valve and not a non return valve, so if your MH bottles run out of gas and you have a spare bottle, connect up to the BBQ point and away you go.

Happy Camping:)
 
Many people use this system to charge their vans with gas when in Spain etc,using local gas bottles, the only problem that I can see with it is that if the connector were to come adrift or the rubber hose get damaged the gas would continue to flow as the regulator would be open.As a point of interest the Camping and Caravan Club has banned this practice on their sites and Rallies.

That is mainly because the bottle is not secured to the vehicle and can be knocked over and the pipe become detatched.
