If your barbe falls over that is unlikely to be the fault of the hose... more likley its siting or human intervention.....

We have an extrernal BBQ point, but have never used it. We prefer to take a second bottle of BP Lite with us so we can put the Cadac wherever we want.

Don't waste your money!

its nothing to with the bbq falling over its to do with the bore of pipe, gas comsumption, gas appliances need the correct gas rate to work correctly, if you use say 3m length of flexi pipe you will find the bbq will proberly start to pop and not burn correctly.

Looking to do the same to my van , we are based in Cleveland which dealer did you use and did they do a good job ??

Jim

Bought the new van from a dealer just outside Bridlington they did an excellent job and fitted an external satellite dish connection at the same time. You can even pop round and have a look of you want.

www.yorkshirecoastcaravans.co.uk did it.

I'd have thought you'd be able to get a similar deal from Ropers at Catterick though.   We'd have bought there but their salesman was a t**ser.

Yes I too noticed that there is a legal length limit on the gas hose. Take a lot of no notice that's what I say. I cut a length of approx 1.5metres and always use my spare bottle from the van and position the bbq wherever it suits at that particular moment. All these straight laced suit and tie health and safety types need to get a life.

It's amazing to think I'm still alive and kicking as I used to climb trees and light bonfires as a kid.

If you follow legislation, as I had to do professionally, it is a case that more often than not health and safety legislation is born out of accidents. Remember Summerland, which was just about the birth place of modern H&S followng a night club disco fire where there was insufficent means of escape, fire hazards, inflammable materials used in the disco, too many in the bguilding  etc and many died ort were scarred?

Anyway, after accidents etc, stock is taken, review, consider what went wrong etc and what can be done to ensure it does not arise again... and we have legilstaion.

Having seen the consequences of ignoring H&S many times, seen the prosecutions etc, well, IMO "Health and Safety Gone Mad"; "I've been doing this for years and never had an accident" etc are merely excuses for non compliance.

We don't go through a red light becasue its the law and we know that its dangerous.. Why should health and safety law be any different? Its the law not an option and its not difficult.

Had one fitted by the dealer when purchasing the van (Bailey Champagne) two years ago. Use it all the time on the Cadac. I dont use a full awning. So the Cadac sits just outside of the awning open door, if its raining I can stand inside the awning whilst cooking. works well.

I would have fitted it myself, it would not have been difficult but it is supposed to be connected up by a gas fitter.
