Setting up your gas stove for the first time is not difficult. Platinum Camper trailers include 9kg gas bottle holders as standard (some two) – You can purchase gas bottles from service stations, Bunnings and most camping stores. Here is a quick guide on how to connect it to your camper trailer for the first time.
Step 1 – Make sure your gas bottle still has gas. The easiest way to check is to give the bottle a shake – you should be able to hear the gas moving around. If this doesn’t work, you can also try hot water. Just grab a jug of hot water and pour it over the bottle. Run your hands down the bottle until it feels cold, and that’s the level the gas is at.
Step 2 – Place the gas bottle in the supplied holder.
Step 3 – Connect the gas bottle to the gas regulator – this is located near the holders. Ensure you have a good connection, turn the gas on and make sure it is not leaking.
Step 4 – Using the supplied gas hose – connect the stove to the bayonet fitting on the camper trailer.
Step 5 – Connect the other end of the hose to your stove.
Step 6 – Turn on the desired gas hob, and press down on the knob to ignite the stove. You may have to hold down the knob for a few seconds while it warms up.
Note: It sometimes takes a few moments for the gas to come through all the lines – give it a minute. And please exercise caution at all times when dealing with gas.
