Out of gas?

Happy New Year all.

Another novice question please. My Motorhome is in storage and after a flat battery issue has been resolved, I've been to visit it every week as it's only a 10 minute walk away.

This morning, I tried to put the heating on and got a 'Gas Failure' message on the display panel. However, I'm not too sure if I've simply run out of gas or it's a more serious issue. I've rung the dealer where I bought the MH from and their 'Technical' department aren't back at work until next week.

I've attached some pictures showing 3 valves and If I'm reading them correctly, I've simply run out.

Your more experienced opinions would be much appreciated.

Another novice schoolboy error - I'd run out of gas.

Many thanks for all of your valuable replies and brace yourself for more questions!

here is a quick way to check your gas levels. best done out of the van.

pour hot water slowly down the side of the gas bottle the follow the heat down the bottle when it turns cold that's the level of your gas.

Another check is your gas hose it will have a date on should be less than 5 years old also do a visual inspection for leaks best way is with everthing connected smear some washing up liquid on the suspect area replace if required
