Exterior BBQ

Exterior BBQ

Your vehicle may be fitted with an external barbecue point that will allow you to use an LPG barbecue from the on board gas bottles.

The barbecue point is located behind a hinged flap, normally on the passenger side of the vehicle.

The exact location of the barbecue point varies from vehicle to vehicle so please familiarise yourself with its’ location before using your vehicle for the first time.

The gas supply to the barbecue outlet can be stopped by an isolation valve located inside the vehicle (valve is clearly marked ‘BBQ’).

This safety valve enables the barbecue point to be isolated from the gas supply from inside the vehicle.

Hose Connection

Your vehicle will have been supplied with an adapter that must be fitted to a suitable length of approved low pressure gas hose. The other end of this hose should be connected to your chosen LPG barbecue.

Please note - the Motorhome works at a

regulated gas pressure of 30m bar.

Please note all gas connections should only be undertaken by a competent person.

Connecting The Hose To The Vehicle

• Ensure the barbecue appliance is turned ‘OFF’ and the gas isolation tap inside the vehicle is turned ‘ON’.

• Align the tabs on the barbecue connector to the corresponding slots in the socket in the side of the vehicle.

• Use your barbecue as per your manufacturers’ instructions.

Disconnecting The Barbecue From

The Vehicle
