Hi,
I have recently got myself confused......and this is not the first time!!!
Reading the Joker manual it seems the underslung gas tank for the cooker / fridge to refer to it as LPG or Propane.
I am assuming it is propane.
My question really is.........do I require a different connection / adaptor for use in France / Italy / Spain?
Regards
Graham

I have always used LPG - aka Autogas - the stuff you get at a petrol station.
I carry a bag full of adaptors.
UK has a bayonet fixing, France and Italy use a dish-shaped fixing, and Spain uses a unique type called a Euronozzle (as far as I know only in Spain!)
The Joker tank has a filler with an internal and external thread; adaptors screw into the internal thread, the external is an ACME thread and works in Germany without an adaptor.
(Note that my Joker was purchased new in Holland - US spec vans may be different)

See this for the full set :shock: http://www.autogasshop.co.uk/lpgautogas ... rs-1-c.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

BTW Autogas is incredibly cheap in Poland. Filled my tank for around £2.
