Hi, I'm new to motorhoming and I was told that the external point on my motorhome shown in the picture is an external gas BBQ point. I would like help in identifying what connector I need to make this work.

Thanks

Paul

    This thread on the topic may help.LINK

    The same points are fitted to Motorhomes and caravans.

    Photos need to be reduced to less than 500K to be accepted for posting. As yours has not appeared I suspect it was more.

    Thanks Steve.

    I'll find a way to compress the photo and upload.

    "I would like help in identifying what connector I need to make this work."

    Almost certainly THIS together with the special orange LPG hose and tube clips, like "Jubilee".

    All often now stocked by caravan dealer's accessory shops.

    There are suggestions that the hose length ought to be limited to two metres, You might find some sellers only prepared to sell separate lengths up to that.

    Using the motorhome's BBQ outlet means it is already a regulated low pressure supply, so no further regulator is required, but precludes its use for high pressure type BBQ.

    The outlet design is safety interlocked, so only allows the gas to be "switched on" with the adapter inserted, and the adaptor removed after the gas is switched off.

    Ocsid, you say almost certainly this.

    Our current MH and our previous caravan had the bullfinch type, without his photo it is difficult to be certain.

    I have never been able to fry an egg under an electric grill.

    Just spent a couple of days looking at You Tube lessons on frying an egg under an electric grill but I failed as I couldn't connect the grill to the BBQ gas point. Suppose I'll just have to use the Cadac, Top Tip. The Cadac Tapas dishes are prefect for cooking individual fried eggs.
