I agree with Lost, because they run off the CT battery, they are handy to have and will light up the area when camping, it helps when setting up in the dark.

Anybody a gas fitter?

I'm trying to work out a way not to have to connect the stove to the gas bottle every time I pull the kitchen out.

I was thinking of a reg fitted to the bottle then a quick fitting like below fixed on the rear wing. Pull out the kitchen and plug the hose on the stove into the quick fitting. I have seen gas fittings on campers before so it should be able to be done.

Would air hose connectors be able to be used for lpg ? The couplings look the same to me

I'm not a gas fitter, but I would use the purpose made fitting. I like my camper and my family to risk blowing the sh!t out of the lot of us.
Have this type of fitting on the slide out kitchen on the Heaslip.

Yep needs to be an Approved gas fitting to use it. Air fittings generally are not AG approved, although I have seen pneumatic type fittings on a factory camper somewhere, never bothered to check if there legit. Jayco use the chrome ones as used in your house they work well and are reasonably quick to disconnect. To cover use a "door stopper " I ll get a pic tomorrow.

Edit this mob do AGA approved quick conects simalar to above as well.

This is the female pressure side fitting

achjimmy · « **Reply #160 on:** July 20, 2013, 12:11:13 AM »

And you get the hose with this fitting to suit and adapt the other end to your appliance. I think the weber is 3/8 NPT ( but don't quote me)

The same fittings are on my Cub (factory fit) as achjimmy's pics nice and quick and easy

yea, I use the rubber stopper on the bottom of walking stick from Clark Rubber.. have a couple of spares in the console too.

This is how I cover ours.

Matto · « **Reply #164 on:** July 22, 2013, 09:13:37 AM »

Mine is basically the same as Lost's setup. Ours uses Garth quick-disconnects. They used to be available at Bunnings, but aren't listed on their website any more, and the Garth.com.au website has been redesigned and is now terrible.

Dav has some photos of the Garth fittings about half way down here : http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=21898.0 . Ours look similar to your photo.

Cheers,
Matto

Do a search for sellers on ebay. Garth Living seem to do most of their trading via eBay now.

Actually yep, decided to put the spare on the rear so I only have the centre hitch and not the rear recovery points. Kept the standard lights as the Narva lights won't leave enough room for a gas bayonet. Chassis made from Supergal and painted rather than full gal. I'm sure there will be more.

I took some shots of the gas install in the Omeo, will put them up later for you

Me too instead of under the CT.

After seeing the Drifta setup below I spoke with Luke about adding some bench space to the storage box without the drawers and not compromising on getting gear in and out of the box. He came up with a sliding insert that runs along some plastic runners. Will provide some more bench space and not get in the way.

But does a table come with it?
