Regarding isolating the gas for the habitation. Isn’t this supposed to be isolated before taking the vehicle on the road anyway? I’m new to this, but at handover the sales chap said the law is that it has to be turned off when on the road.
Depends on the type of regulator fitted.
Many vans have the Truma regulator with 'crash' protection. Valves that will cut the gas supply in the case of a crash and therefor you can leave on all the time. About the only time our gas gets turned off is for filling (if I remember) and going through the tunnel to France.

Never had refillable cylinders, only underslung. Why do you need to turn the cylinder off?

Thanks Richard. I think I’ll look into changing mine.

Dont even know how to turn my refillables off. Do they have a turn screw knob like calor bottles?
Yes, very much the same as Calor cylinders, though some of the newer refillables have a large plastic on off valve at right angles to the neck.

Cheers,

Jock. :)
