    Less than 2m low pressure hose for safety.

    So you might well prefer to get a regulator and use your spare bottle of gas so you can site it wherever you want.

    8mm quick connector.  Most dealers sell them or online.  Get orange high pressure hose, rather than the black low pressure stuff.  The reason is the low pressure perishes and leaks in no time.

    You need to check as the connectors  vary.  The one on my new van is totally different to the last one I had

    As MDD says, the connectors vary. On new vans the connector should be supplied.

    Yes.  My old,one was the Bullfinch and my new one is the 8mm which I believe on my van is a Truma.  I don't know if there are any others so you just need to check your van

    Google caravan BBQ point and you will get examples of both types.
