Well, after some time away form camping (due to divorce and various other thing) I'm now about to head back to it.  I'm now a single mum and to be honest when we last went camping my controlled all the taking care of the stove etc. I've got the very daunting job of entering my loft (scared of heights) and get everything down and hopefully it's all still usable.

With regards to the stove, is there anything obvious that I need to be looking for to tell if it's stil usuable? It's only been 3-4 years, so i'm hoping that it's still ok

p.s. just noticed thequpentsub-forum sorry ifthis shold have been postedthere

Just make sure any hoses on the stove aren't perished, cracked or showing signs of age, or to be on the safe side just replace them. The stove itself should be fine as it's just been sitting there minding it's own business.

Might be worth connecting a foot pump to the cooker (where the gas hose fits) and give it a blast, just in case a spider (or other creepy crawly) has made a home in it
