Gas Hose Length

I  don't  think  its  a  "Pressure" problem,  BT  --  more  likely  a  "Safety"  thing  --  thus  the  shorter  the  better {  less  chance  of  tripping  over  it  etc  }

When we had the caravan I used a 3m hose that ran from the bottle under the caravan to the BBQ ,and had no problems , obviously I made sure nobody ran about in the area ,not just because of the hose ,but more of the hot BBQ 

i am probably going to be shot for having that length of hose 🤔

Brian.......I agree with the above replies. I don't believe there to be a 'technical' problem with longer hoses and that it's just a 'H&S' thing.......so just do your own thing and be careful not to trip over it, would be my advice.

We have about 3.5 metres of hose to our Cadac and it works fine. Unless you stretch it fairly taught 1.5 metres isn't really enough to move it away from the van, so to me would be more of a safety risk than a longer length.

Don't forget, Steve, that you need to be within reach of the on/off valve in the interests of safety in case of burn back along the pipe from the appliance. It happens.

Ian, you have agreed with my post , careful you don't get reported 

No,  Huskypup  --  we  don't  shoot  animamals  on  'ere --  but  you  are  quite  likely  to  find  yourself  back  in  Dog Training  Classes  !

Thanks folks, I do think that the point raised by TW is a very valid one, especially as our gas locker is on the other side....

I can certainly get to it fast enough TW, as I use the extra length to run it along the floor, rather than to get 3 metres from the van. I am uncertain how it would burn back along the hose though. The hose is filled with 100% gas. It will certainly burn where it comes out and mixes with the air and even explode if the mixture reaches certain percentages. Perhaps there is a gas expert who can shed some light on the subject.

Why not take the safe fill bottle to the barby? Did the barby come with a gas hose?

In the MH days when the Cadac arrived a couple of years in, used to carry a cheaper to refill BBQ gas bottle only for the Cadac. In the days before payload was a consideration and if required to take more junk on holiday, a small trailer was towed . But the Cadac was also used at home mounted on the wall bracket at the back of the house.
