For caravans
Using BP Gas Light for caravans or motorhomes - weight is crucial so our cylinders are half the weight of the steel equivalent. You can also see the gas level and so plan ahead on the move.
There are three important things to know when you are considering using BP Gas Light with your caravan or motorhome.
1. Which BP Gas Light size will fit in my caravan? Different makes and models of caravan and motorhome fit different sizes of BP Gas Light. BP Gas Light is available throughout the UK in the 10kg size. The 5kg size BP Gas Light is currently only available through some Truma stockists. To find out more, use our Bottle Finder tool or call our customer services team.
Please check your manual or contact your manufacturer to find out which size will fit your caravan or motorhome.

2. How do I secure the cylinder in my cylinder compartment? Some cylinder compartments have mouldings or brackets on the floor of the compartment that are designed to fit steel cylinders. You can buy a plastic bracket to fit in your cylinder compartment which will hold both BP Gas Light and steel cylinders safely and securely in place. Contact Truma for stockist details for these brackets. You may also find that you need a longer material strap to hold the slightly wider BP Gas Light cylinder in place.
3. How do I connect the cylinder to my caravan? BP Gas Light is fitted with a 27mm clip-on valve. This is much safer than traditional screw fit valves because you instantly know when you have fastened the connector securely rather than messing about with a spanner. However, many makes and models of caravan and motorhome are not fitted to take 27mm clip-on valves. A simple adapter kit is available through most Truma dealers. Contact Truma for stockist details.
