Having read various differing views on gas safety and requirements I thought I would ask the experts. An article in MMM Motorhome Monthly Magazine a few months ago provided the contact list and this is what I sent on the 19th March:
FESauto gas …. Automated reply & nothing elseI:
UKLPG ….apparently ” the trade association for the LPG industry” …. Just read how helpful they were …. Not !!:jd
Anyway here are the replies …….. the helpful replies come later T:
The 2 replies from UKLPG “the trade association for the LPG industry” left me wide mouthed…..
BP Gas Light were also not very helpful ……

BIG Thank you to CALOR , SoCal and Flogas for some considered responses.
But ... there you have it …. even those in the know have some difference of opinion.
Whats important if you ask me ……. Get a Gas Safe certificate regardless of insurance requirements… I have.
First thing the Gas Safe guy asked me before even coming to see the van was “have you got any drop out vents ?” and “ how many ? “
Good luck folks :gl
Cheers
Mick
PS .... late edit .....
Something I should have added to to above post .....
Gas Safe (the new CORGI) engineers need to be specifically qualified for LPG instalations.... most of yer regular domestic Gas Safe plumbers are only qualified for natural gas
