Odd. Mine goes through two - the bottle then the RV.

My bottle has a twist regulator (rather than on/off) - make sure it is properly seated and on "full volume" (they can be a bit tough).

Other than that I can't think what the problem could be. RU sure everything is connected right? As gas is getting though I think it must be at the bottle end.

What I would try (assuming you have the same kit I do) is remove the flylead/put the "stopper" back in (ie as if ready to drive off) and prove that you can run without bottle from your onboard LPG tank (as usual, with the extend a stay in place but configured for travelling/non bottle operation) by opening that stopcock.

If you can - must be the connection to your bottle or the flylead to extend-a-stay connection.

If you can't I'd recheck how you've fitted the extend-a-stay....

Hope that helps - again take care with it & get help if you need...... that's about all I can suggest....

Hi
Another newbie here.
We have just put a deposit on a 34ft Winnebago Adventurer.
Should collect by the end of April and really looking forward to some quality time travelling.
Having said that we would welcome any tips on where to stay in this country and Scotland. It may be a couple of years before we pluck up the courage to venture onto the continent. That will tie in with the retirement and more time to spend over there.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike

Congrats on your 34' RV - are you importing from the US or buying in the UK ?

I am buying it locally from somebody who ships them over, he is going to give it a service and new MOT before we take it over.
He has a few to choose from but we fell in love with the Adventurer. The thing that sold it for us was the L shaped lounge, it seems to give a lot more room without resorting to a slide out.
Really looking forward to it.
What vehicle do you drive?

I 'm jealous.
Skye is definitely on our list of places to visit.
I hear what you say about the roads but it should be worth it and with any luck other road users will show a little bit of consideration as well.
Or am I being naive!!

Cheers

Hi JustMe,

No you are not being naive, over here in Ireland there are some pretty narrow roads too once you leave the main routes and people dive into the hedge when they see me coming - and that's in a baby Hymer Laughing

Maybe it's seeing a blonde female at the wheel apparently on her own! Shocked

Seriously though, take it carefully and show due consideration, the majority of people will return the compliment. Happy travels!

we never had any probs on skye but you may need to watch the length of some passing places if youre going for a 30 footer ect but like spottydog says the majority of motorists see you coming and give you the chance to pull over or give way to you due to size . the bikers will be desperate to pass you but thats their problem . im also a biker but i like to see the scenery . we allways set off early when the roads are nice and quiet and find it works best for us.
cheers
