Hi Sam, there's a bit of a story behind this, when I did my testing I had a leak but could not trace it, checked all my joints they were sound. Turned out to be the manometer and pump that was letting by so I had a brainwave, a blood pressure cuff!! It has a mercury gauge and pumps very accurate. So I brought one off eBay for £11 and cut the tubes used the gauge and the pump and it worked absolutely flawlessly, well happy with it. Here is the link rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=4&toolid=11800&pub=5575265109&campid=5338027957&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2FNylon-Cuff-Blood-Pressure-Monitor-Stethoscope-Sphygmomanometer-Manual-BP-KIT%2F223145088865%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%253AMEBIDX%253AIT%26_trksid%3Dp2057872.m2749.l2649 150mbar = 112.5mm Hg (it's what the gauge reads in) I left mine on test all day and it never dropped one bit, well happy.

Hi Greg, did you do the test with or without the truma connected? Just reading through instruction manual to install mine and on page 26 my understanding is that you’re supposed to disconnect the truma! Seems ridiculous to me as that’s the whole point of testing. Interested on your thoughts!?

It's not about the money Ed, for once it's something that gives me a greater satisfaction and fulfilment. I really want to try and fill a huge void of missing information here and help as many self-builders as possible to get proper information. Building your own van is something that I think anybody can do with the right help and tools to achieve it. There's nothing more satisfying than helping someone else and seeing how your efforts have benefitted them and made them happy. I make a small amount of ad revenue and affiliate links which is great, it's more about the community.

I think this video will have a two fold effect, 1, it will make people do it right if they are DIY and 2, it will make people realise how spending the money to get a professional to do it it worth it. It was good to put in the sad story about the boat owner, and it reinforces the need for floor vents to take away any leaking gas. Live the dream and live it long, may your firm pipe work get all the attention it needs!

Great presentation Greg. Thanks for your efforts. LPG installations can be SO dangerous. In Australia, we have a requirement that a gas drop vent is required under each gas appliance as well as in the storage box. Also that the main pipe run (rigid) is fitted outside vehicle and then T'd off through the floor at each individual appliance (ie no Ts inside vehicle). Also, and more importantly, the final requirement for road certification (ie ability to gain insurance cover) of a home-built canpervan is that the gas installation is approved by a qualified gas fitter, who then takes on the legal responsibility if there is an accident involving insurance issues. Same requirement for 240v installation, with a certified electrician. Doing the job is only half the battle, finding the tradesman willing to take the risk and sign off on your work can be difficult.

Greg, this series has helped me a huge amount. I ended up with an external tank installed under the tail because of German regs. Must say I struggled to get close to the neatness of your installation. Hat off to you. If I may, some comments on LPG for Germany based on my experiences. Hope it helps others as yours have. 1 - The system you have with Gaslow us not yet clearly approved, falls into a grey area and is currently being reviewed. Similar systems using Truma dual control are also affected. Issue is that although the controls are approved, tanks are approved, you're not allowed to use flexible pipes to connect fixed gas tanks. Oddly, you can fit dual removable tanks in a gas locker connected with flexible hoses and your Gaslow switch overs. 2 My impression is that steel piping is most often used, not copper. I ended up using steel. It's very hard work to bend. Even with a bender like the one you used. The compression fittings need a lot more tightening than copper and what I thought was tight, certainly a lot tighter than you needed on copper, leaked. 3 It's a requirement to get the system inspected and certified by a qualified body. This is usually a local caravan/camper place. Must be repeated for each Tüv - MOT equivalent. Tanks must be certified every 10 years. 4 There are labelling requirements as well. 5 Doing it yourself is quite straightforward as you've shown, many caravan centres are used to self builds and willing to advise, but not all. 6 Using the combi heater while you're driving is legal and safe, so long as a crash cut off is properly installed. I don't intend to do this, but had one installed for extra safety. 7 You must only run one appliance off a single 8mm pipe. Couldn't make out if this was a legal or practical requirement. 10mm pipe is only allowed up to a manifold. So I have 10mm to the electric shut off like yours, a very short 8mm connection to a manifold, separate feeds without T pieces to each appliance. Manifold has taps to shut off supply to individual appliances. 8 Main German fittings maker seems to be GOK. They have a really useful brochure detailing layouts, the supply components which is really helpful. 'Lösungen für Flüssiggas in Freizeitfahrzeugen' 9 For users of refillable bottles with German threads, adapters are available so they can be refilled in countries which don't use the German fittings.

Thanks Greg, excellent information as always. As a Gas Safe Engineer with LPG qualifications can I please add, while you correctly stated it can be a DIY installation, I’d strongly recommend you employ the services of a competent Gas Engineer, with the relevant Gas Safe qualifications. Get them in a the right time & it’s not a time consuming or expensive job, but a safe one. I believe any Insurance Company will look for a Safety Certificate for the Gas installation & it makes common sense to have an annual check.

Brilliant information explained clearly and concisely as always Greg. One caveat to this is that (after extensive conversations with Truma), it is perfectly fine to install a (specifically) Truma flue underneath or within 300mm of an opening window (not door) providing a Truma window switch has been installed. This detects a broken seal when said window is opened at automatically shuts the boiler off to prevent any exhaust gas re-entering the vehicle. There may be an equivalent available for other manufacturers but that's for one's own research!

Hi Greg, I do think with your skills and knowledge you could easily make a business for yourself in van fitouts, however they are a labour of love ! Very useful information indeed, I was going to fit a cooker inside a studio and the bottled gas inside. Me thinks that will definitely go outside and have a run of copper to the inside to the cooker.

That sounds like a very wise move, make sure you have the bottles in a locked cage or small locked shed with vents at high and low level, means of local isolation and the appropriate warning signs fitted. Thanks for watching

A bloody marvellous video. I would just like to point out that if you are a university student or alumni then your university likely has access to the British Standards so you'll be able to get hold of them for free rather than paying the extortionate amount that Greg probably had to pay!
