Just mulling over my options and wondered if it is okay to use 'T' pieces to run both our cooker and fridge off one gas tank? Might seem like a daft question but I've never witnessed it being done.

I currently take two 907 campinggaz units but if I could just take one 4.5kg calor for shorter stays or perhaps try one of the new larger & lighter breads of tank for longer stays?

From what I can gather the new 6kg calorlite bottle weight is only 1kg heavier than a 907 and can hold twice the amount of gas (approx figures). This would be more efficient, in the long run, as less weight and cheaper gas.

suns - did you have to use a bigger regulator? Was there any noticeable drop in gas pressure to the cooker?

The fridge uses very little gas and only intermttently, it does not run continuously.
The regulator should maintain a constant pressure on the output side and compensate for the fridge.

It's done all the time in caravans.

i just bought a Kamper oven with 2 burners , and asked the same question to my dealer , and they told me you can with no problem at all. I'm running both off a 15kg bottle of Butane.

My M/home has Gas fridge/full cooker/and carver gas fire,all can be run at the same time wiith a standard regulater,so you should not have any problems at all.

We had no problem .We got the brass T piece and set it up with jubliee clips. Got the brass T clip from Towsure .The regulator is the one that fits your bottle no change as to what appliances.

Okay, cheers gang.

I knew multi appliance setups were in caravans and motorhomes but wasn't sure if it was as straight forward as using hose and 'T' pieces.

I presumed that with caravans and m/h's there would be some sort of corgi equivalent and something more involved would be in use.

Thanks again.
