we went to see about having a gaslowsystem fitted to our new van adria coral 670 sl(which we havent taken delivery of yet) and were told we could not have an external filler fitted as it cant go in the locker door or habitation area. does this mean bottles have to be refilled inside the locker. I thought this causes problems at some garages confused aldra
I am tempted to cry, "Cobblers!" . . . but I don't know your van at all.
The photo's on the Web look as if it has a perfectly adequate skirt below the line of the habitation floor, and the filler could go there . . . which is where mine and loads of other people's are.
I'll move your thread from Hymer to Adria ( ) so you should get a definitive answer soon.
I agree with Dave. It may need the inlet pipe to be boxed in and a gas drop vent might need to be made or perhaps some of the skirt needs reinforcing. Being a mod Dave is being polite. Your dealer just doesn't want to do it for you. It's not impossible, Alan.
No reason why the filler shouldn't be placed some way up the habitation wall . . . so long as it was internally boxed in and sealed, with a good sized gas dropout hole in the bottom of the newly made "mini-cabinet".
After all, that's exactly the construction of the gas locker itself on many vans, and the filler could be sited so the mini-cabinet was hidden in an underbed locker or similar.
More work and quite fiddly, so I can understand the dealer not fancying that route, but in the skirt is no problem at all.

Hi.
We have the Gaslow 2 bottle system,and it is very good,however,i would have been just as happy with the AUTO/AluGAS?,from thirsk,and they were prepared to put it where i wanted.Its YOUR!! money,get what you want and be happy.

If it absolutely has to be an internal filler, >> this system << might be of interest.
It's very new, but seems to have a lot going for it. I know an engineer who has had a very close look and he was well impressed.
No fitting - just drop it in. All inclusive - nothing extra to buy, except perhaps a Continental adapter. Easily visible LPG level . . . that's a great bonus in itself.
