probably a daft question about gas supply & water

Hi
I've just bought my first camper which is a '83 devon conversion. I've connected the gas up & turned the isolator valve (under the counter) - but nothing is coming out on the cooker hob. Does anyone know if there is a 2nd isolator or safety switch?
2nd daft question - There is no-where obvious to put water (drinking). Is it just a case of buying a plastic container to fit into the cupboard under the sink.
Cheers

Stupid answer but. Have you checked there's gas in the bottle? There is usually a water inlet where the sink is outside (on mine anyway)
Pics of new van please!

Have you opened the valve on the gas regulator too?

Have you checked that the pipe is attached to the cooker as mine wasn't

some cookers require you to push in the knob to light

Thanks
I'll check the pipe & try pushing the knob in. I had checked the obvious ones off.
Here's a pic

Had a similar problem with the gas on my 1980 Devon Moonraker - eventually traced the problem to "gunk" in the pipeline caused by the years of no use. Eventually solved the problem by taking the pipes out and blowing through with a air pressure supply.

Thanks
If all else fails, I'll try that - it does look like hasn't been used in a while so it could be the problem
