Nigel or other wise campers, would the following quick release couplings from towsure work the same as they are much more affordable at under £3 as opposed to £8

I just looked on Towsure and they only do the male end. What's the point in that?! The full kit is here http://www.leisureshopdirect.com/caravan/gas/product_26092/Quick_release_coupling.aspx but obviously you will need a T piece also. I use one of these so that I can connect my fridge to the gay on the occasion I don't have EHU.

Cheers morgz and wrongers, i thought it looked diffferent.

This takes me back to the question though, do i need a quick release clips on each appliance if i want to just use one of the two connected appliances at a certain point in time. Or put simply if i have the t junction and i just want to use my cadac but not my double grill at lunchtime can I just do that or would i need to disconnect the grill and reconnect it later.

It doesnt seem to be worth paying an extra £20 for a quick release for each appliance if the only time i need it is setting it up at the start of the holiday and disconnecting it at the end.

Manor Park Farm, Cromer every august, but somewhere different every may/June.
4 years of superior packing yet still no room in the car

Use Hamilton Gas Products,

Very quick service, good prices. We have 3 appliances and a set up to use any combination. The Y pieces are on quick release both ends, so they can be removed.

Yes, the car is bigger than the 'van.

If there is one appliance that will always be taken regardless then that can just connect to the other side of of the T piece so that the quick release is there for the appliance you want to be disconnectable. I have this setup at the moment as I never want to take just the fridge.   Only thing is it's useless now, due to useless "fridge" which I have ranted in depth about on another thread :)

no if you want to you can just setup both and leave them connected,aslong as they both have away of stopping the gas from coming out.
