Set up a mobile LPG system with the right details from the start
Whether you are fitting out a caravan, changing a camper layout or planning gas appliances for a food van or another mobile premises, the installation needs to suit the proposed use and compact space. Caravan gas fitting concerns new or altered bottled LPG systems, including the components that connect cylinders to appliances.
Mobile installations can involve small LPG cylinders, regulators, shut-off valves, protected gas pipework, appliance connections and ventilation openings. The layout matters because these parts need to work together while remaining protected from vibration, weather and accidental damage.
What a caravan LPG gas installation may involve
A caravan LPG gas installation is more than choosing an appliance or bottle location. A gasfitter will consider the proposed duty or layout and the relationship between the gas supply, appliance connections and the mobile structure.
Key considerations identified for this work include bottle storage, regulator location, appliance clearances, ventilation, hose condition and certification or inspection records. The installation must also be sized and routed so appliances receive safe gas pressure, while the system is protected in a mobile environment.
For a caravan gas system installation, the plumbing business will usually confirm the layout first, then check matters such as isolation, access, supports, falls, clearances, commissioning requirements and how the finished system will be maintained.
When this service may be the right fit
This service is relevant when an LPG system is being installed or altered in a caravan, camper, food van, mobile premises or a similar setup. It is distinct from a repair, leak investigation or inspection of an existing installation, even though those needs may arise around the same system.
If the main need is to have an existing mobile LPG system checked rather than installed or altered, LPG (Bottled) Caravan and Mobile Inspections may be a more suitable starting point. For faults with an existing system, consider LPG (Bottled) Caravan and Mobile Repairs. A concern about a leak belongs with LPG (Bottled) Gas Leaks.
Information that helps a plumbing business understand the proposed work
Clear information helps a plumbing business understand the mobile setup, proposed changes and access conditions before discussing the work. Useful details may include:
- drawings, specifications or photos of the proposed location;
- the preferred product, fixture or appliance service, if one has already been selected;
- access dimensions, isolation points and nearby existing services;
- the gas type, bottle size, supplier details, and changeover or regulator details;
- appliance make, model and serial number where available;
- the property address, contact person and best access instructions; and
- timing requirements, occupant access or project-program considerations.
Photos or short videos can be useful when they show the proposed area, surrounding space and labels on existing equipment. If there are safety concerns, explain the situation and whether gas can be safely isolated when you make contact.
Inspection records and the finished installation
The supplied service information states that, in most cases, caravan and mobile LPG installations need to be inspected by the Office of Energy or an accredited Authority. Keep any relevant certification or inspection records with the vehicle or mobile premises records, along with the details of the installed equipment.
When discussing the job, it is reasonable to ask how the proposed layout, appliance connections, ventilation openings and ongoing maintenance considerations will be addressed. This keeps the conversation focused on the actual system rather than assumptions about a standard caravan or mobile setup.
Brands and products you may encounter
Customers researching mobile LPG equipment may encounter brands, product systems and supply channels such as Reece, Galvins, Tradelink, Kleenheat Gas, Origin, Rinnai, Dometic and Thetford. Other names associated with this service include Companion, Gasmate, Bosch, Rheem and Thermann.
These are examples only. The right product or component depends on the proposed layout, gas type, appliance details and installation requirements. Naming a brand can help a plumbing business identify the equipment you already have or are considering.

Frequently asked questions
What does caravan gas fitting cover?
It covers new or altered LPG gas systems for caravans, campers, food vans, mobile premises and similar setups. The work may involve cylinders, regulators, shut-off valves, protected pipework, appliance connections and ventilation openings.
What details should I provide for a campervan gas installation?
Provide photos, drawings or specifications where available, along with proposed appliance details, gas type, bottle or regulator information, access dimensions and nearby existing services. Appliance make, model and serial number can also assist where known.
Is installation different from a caravan LPG inspection?
Yes. Installation concerns a new or altered system. An inspection concerns checking an existing caravan or mobile LPG installation. The appropriate service depends on whether you are planning work or seeking a check of what is already in place.
Why does the proposed layout matter?
In a compact mobile space, bottle storage, regulator location, appliance clearances, ventilation, pipework protection and access all need consideration. The layout also affects how the system can be maintained.

The supplied service information states that, in most cases, these installations need inspection by the Office of Energy or an accredited Authority. Relevant certification or inspection records are useful details to retain.
