We have just bought our fist caravan - a Sprite Continental 450 1992 and it has a BBQ socket on the side - what type of connection would I need to use this? is it a seperate regulator - it looks like a push fir connection but its not mentioned in the manual.

Thanks

Something like this http://www.leisureshopdirect.com/caravan/gas/product_26092/quick_release_coupling.aspx You can get them at most caravan accessory shops.

a good idea but I have often wondered what would happen if it goes wrong ? "the BBQ" a tad difficult chucking it away from the unit with a 2m line attached. but still a good idea. alas I will stick with the Charcoal and smoke and lighting problems ???? now I think about it !

Mine has a red tap on it f you got to towsure you will see the insert connector. Bear in mind there are 2 sizes of bores which will affct your flow rate. It snaps into the tap and can only be disconected if you turn the tap off.
