LPG Sytem/Unit Service

[BessieFla83]

Hi,

I have a Westfalia Joker 1983 1.6 diesel with it has an underslung LPG tank.

Does anyone know where the LPG system can be serviced?

I am just north of London near Watford but willing to travel if needed.

Thanks for any help!

Any medium to large caravan or motorhome dealer should be able to service your gas system through a habitation check

What is exactly the problem.
Might get the help here.

Not much to go wrong with them.
Check for leaks, clean combustion chamber in fridge and jet.

The Westies are well thought out machines. Mine is a dream. That said i have much rebuilt it all.

Thanks maxstu. I took it to a motorhome dealer for a service and safety check a few years ago but they were very unhelpful and dismissive and in the end they wouldn't touch it. It seems that the underslung tank is part of the problem but I haven't yet got to the bottom of why it is such an issue. It seems remarkable to me that these systems legally require safety checks every 2 years in Germany but in the UK it is a headache to find someone to service it.

Thanks mioba. There isn't a problem per se, just that we wanted to get it serviced a few years ago and haven't used it since as we haven't been able to find anyone to service it. Would just like to get it serviced from a safety point of view.

I have a feeling most caravan places will say it's too old and will want to condemn it.
