Sizzler Australian BBQ's - Caravan | Motorhome | Boat

[@stevep2073]

Your statement “Now it is a requirement any gas appliance connected to a caravan or an RV via a bayonet fitting must have auto shutoff” is not very clear. It’s implying that regardless of the date of manufacture of the bbq, it must have auto shut off. My understanding is that bbqs had to be recertified by September 2022 and that it is only bbqs manufactured after re-certification that need, in your words, ‘auto shut off’ in order to be able to connected in the way you’ve described. Is that a more accurate summation of the position?

Hey Steve, You are probably right. We don't want to comment on legalities but typically this is the case when they change laws, like seat belts in cars etc. I think we should just comment all new BBQ's purchased require flame protection that shuts off if it is connected to in-line gas systems in Caravans and RV's. I strongly recommend someone to check the laws themselves regarding older style BBQ's that are certified but manufactuered before the date the new laws came into being. What you are saying definitely makes sense, I would personally agree with what you said but again, we recommend individuals make sure the BBQ they have is legally allowed in their Caravan or RV. The last thing you would want is to void insurances or have a serious incident that results in injury or worse. I think it would be best practice to have as safe a cooking device as possible, regardless of the laws - and having a BBQ that automatically shuts off the gas flow when no flame is detected is probably at the top of that list for safety in a caraavan or RV BBQ. Thanks for the clarification and statement though, it can get very confusing and we have a lot of people ask questions so it is good they have accurate information.
