i have a 2014 Chausson best of 10 and don't Knowhow to connect the appliances to gas,the manual isn't very clearin their instructions on how to connect and ignite fridge etc.

When you say "connect to gas" I guess you mean switch them on as they should already be connected, you will have a gas isolation valve for each appliance so these will need turning so the handle is inline with the pipework, your gas bottle needs to be on as well of course.

Thanks Martin my gas bottle is about empty and I read somewhere if the gas pressure was too low it wouldn't work properly so I'll connect to full gas bottle.do I need to ignite for the fridge ?

The fridge.... once set to gas... will or should... self ignite...

As for low gas in bottle... that shouldn't make a difference... unless of course it's empty...

Ps... you should be able to google the user manual for your fridge... if your Moho "user guide" is unclear... as some fridges are auto changeover types and some are manual... e.g whether they run on gas, 12v or 240v...

Also there may be a button next to your regulator in your gas locker... that may require pressing - if you've had the bottle disconnected...

Don't understand if you are new to it , or it's just stopped working, but one regular occurrence with these modern fridges is they won't work if they aren't level.

Sometimes when you've changed a gas bottle or the gas has been switched off for a while, the fridge will take a couple of goes before it lights. Try lighting a gas ring first to make sure the gas is getting through.

I have a best of 510 with the same fridge I believe.

Once you've changed the bottle check hob for gas flow, hold selector button on fridge until it flashes then with arrows move onto gas flame symbol. While gas symbol flashing green, select temp of fridge with arrows that move the green dots up/down. Then push selector button again which will go solid green & you should hear gas ignition.

Sounds complicated but Not in practice.

If no joy, check valve open on manifold in small cupboard below fridge.

I had Gaslow installed to avoid the bottle changing!

Hi Big Nult and Welcome, it looks like you have enough good advice to get on with good luck......

If your really stuck after trying all the above, we have a manual for that fridge as we have very same van.. Could photograph relevant pages and email them to you, but it would be well into next week as we're away from today.
