That is a big question, there is likely to be a seperate gas tap but where it is depends on the fire and the van. Do you have more information and a picture?

Ever since lighting was by Calor gas.

On my 1995 m/h the three are Hob, Oven and Fridge.
The gas heater has its own separate tap close to the heater below a removable panel at the bottom of the wardrobe.
Obviously this is the 3-way one

Has heater worked in past??? If so why suspect the valve, and who closed it??
Or are you wanting to find valve so you can isolate heater.!!

If the heater has not been used for a long time it will take a long time to get the gas through. If you are not confident working with gas appliances I would advise gett a professional to have a look

Quite confident working on things.
Il take burner out later in week. Fitting leisure batteries tomorrow.
Then got to get solar panel off old camper and fit on this MH.
If can’t get fire working, then I’ll fit the Chinese diesel heater I have.

If thinking gummed jet.

You'll need to find the gas jet, will be just before the burner tube in the fire. Try U tube + manual to identify location.

Jet can be cleaned in situ if very careful with a strand from a stripped piece of say 0.6-1.00mm multicore cable, using a single strand from it, rod out the jet.
Whatever you do don't kink the wire or snap it off in the jet.

Failing that take out the jet and wash etc.
