17.6 Gas Supply in European Countries
General tips:
Only go on vacation with completely filled gas bottles.
Use all of the gas bottles’ capacity.
Take along adapter sets (available in camping supply stores) for filling gas bottles in foreign
countries and for connecting the gas regulator to foreign gas bottles.
During the cold time of the year observe filling with propane gas component (butane does not
gas under 0 °C).
Use blue bottles from the firm Campingaz (distributed world-wide). Only use gas bottles with
safety valves.
When bottles from other countries are used, check the gas bottle compartments to see if the gas
bottles fit into them. Gas bottles from other countries do not always display the same size as
your own gas bottles.
17.7 Tips on Staying Overnight Safely During Travel
Prudent behaviour is the most important protective measure for insuring a safe night in the caravan.
The risk of thievery is reduced to a minimum when the following basic rules are observed:
During high season do not spend the night at highway rest stops or parking areas located along
typical vacation routes.
Several caravans on one site at the same time do not necessarily decrease the chances of
thievery occurring. Consult your own feelings about the parking site.
Even if it is just for one night, go to a camping site.
If you are parked in an open area, place dry twigs around the caravan.
Only take with you those valuables which are absolutely necessary for the journey. If possible
store your valuables in a small vault.
Always lock up the caravan.
17.8 Tips for Winter Campers
The following tips will help make your winter camping experience as agreeable as possible.
Reserve your parking place in good time. Good winter camping sites are often booked up early.
Do not start your trip without winter tyres.
Choose your parking place with care. Observe the ground beneath you. Snow and ice may melt.
Place boards of a sufficient size under the jockey wheel and the corner steadies to prevent then
from sinking when the snow thaws.
When the caravan has been positioned, release the handbrake to prevent freezing.
Protect the handbrake lever and the accumulator against frost with protective covers.
Protect the gas bottle compartment against freezing with a protective cover.
Do not leave waste water in the tank but drain it into a bucket.
No snow walls should be allowed to cover the built-in forced ventilation.
Keep the built-in forced ventilation free from snow and ice.
Make sure the air circulation is good. Good air circulation prevents moisture from collecting and
makes it easier to heat the living room.
> In Europe, there are several different connection systems for gas bottles. It is not al-
ways possible to fill or exchange your gas bottles in a foreign country. Get information
about the connection system in the country you are travelling to before embarking on
your journey, e. g. at a motoring club or in the trade press.
