Hello, I've got a 1997 Lunar Ariva 4 caravan (aka Dinky Doris), when we bought her she came with a butane gas regulator and an old propane regulator which was lying in the front locker, there isn't a fitted regulator on the cravan, just a gas pipe to connect
the gas bottle regulator to.

I went and got my propane gas bottle refilled and asked the lad behind the counter to give me a new 37 mbar regulator for it, when i came to fit it i noticed that it said on the instructions that it was not suitable for use in caravans.

Now as doris is an old lady who was produced prior to the caravans getting fitted regulators i presume this "not suitable" details are for newer cravans.

the regulator is a Type 694.

Also, is it true that you need to store propane bottles outside the caravan when in use? 

Thank you
