Exterior gas bayonet fitting

[achjimmy]

Just moved our rear point further back, jayco had it behind the mudguard and you struggled to get the "Q" out from under the awning. It's extended back to the end of the chassis. I was tempted to put it out closer to the side of the van for easier attachment but it just looked to fragile there.

QLD Regional Petroleum and Gas Inspector's response copied and pasted below:

"The AS5601 states the bayonet connection cannot be installed inside a caravan.

2.13 QUICK-CONNECT DEVICES

2.13.1 General

A quick-connect device shall be installed so as to avoid entry of water, dust or other debris.

2.13.2 Restriction on installation A quick-connect device socket shall not be installed inside a caravan or boat.

@Ligedy great post re regs. I have also added a second point to the front now as well. Figured for the few bucks I'd add the convience before I got it re certified saving me multiple inspections.

As always this forum provides a great resource for information and doing it right.
