The regulator fitted on your cylinder may be an OPSO/UPSO type (Over Pressure Shut Off/ Under Pressure Shut Off) which will automatically turn off the gas if the pressure/flow coming out is too much e.g. a hose that is not connected to anything (its a safety feature incase a hose or pipe is cut or s...

I've got one of these, 10 mins to put up & about 15 mins to take down, a bit pricey brand new but i kept a look out & got a good 1 on the bay for £130 & i highly recommend it

Also check the gap between the electrode & burner at the rear of the fridge for dirt or it may be too big & the spark wont jump across, the sparking action lights the red light(flashing) & the heat from the flame complets the circuit stopping the sparking. (providing its still not lit!!!)

Nice park in Harlech, stayed there a couple of times & very nice owners & great toilets.

It should work without 12v if on gas, either the jet needs another clean or it needs replacing (i kept cleaning my jet then took the plunge & just replaced the jet itself & it works great now) does the fridge work on 12v or mains? if not try removing the fridge & turning it upside down o...

Great job & great pics, can i ask what you used to clean the inside of the pop top as mine needs doing & i can see on one of the pics the patch on yours that had been cleaned looked great

LPG is always stored as a liquid in a tank or cylinder, it only turns to gas/vapour when it is heated above its boiling point which is -42'c for propane (butane is -2'c which is why its not much use in the UK!) it 'boils' when released into the atmosphere (e.g. a gas tap is opened on the cooker etc)...

Sounds like the burner cap (the black/brown metal disc) is not positioned correctly on top of the burner skirt (the silver piece with the slots to let the gas out)

The best bet as said earlier is to take it along to a dealer/repair centre or look up LPG Gas Safety operatives in your local rag, when the hose has been replaced make sure its replaced with the correct hose suitable for LPG & is BS3212 (it should have it stamped on the side of the hose) LPG att...

Most hotel, hospital & hire fleet caravan mattresses are vinyl on the top below the bed sheet for obvious reasons so it shouldn'y be a problem.

When driving along at various engine speeds my alternator will start squealing for about 2-3 seconds then stop, during the squealing my engine sounds like its missing & loses power for the 2-3 seconds, it does this every 15 mins or so & there does not seem to be any sort of pattern or sequen...

Replace the gas jet, my fridge would not work on gas but it would light just wouldnt get cold, i removed the jet & cleaned it (it looked clean!) but it was still the same so in the end i bought a jet of the bay (about £26 i think) & it worked a treat.
