It may seem "not too hard" but nevertheless it is a project for a LICENCED gas fitter!

Correct...officially. I find it amusing that they give all the part numbers of the bits required and distances etc. and even retail not trade prices. Clearly they are advertised for sale to the general public just like Bunnings or any electrical or plumbing store sell mainly to the public not the trade. Officially the untrained should not attempt work like this or even changing a tap washer, but they do in droves.

Gday...
From my reading of that "advice sheet" it would appear they have pointed out the 'requirements' quite clearly in the opening of the guide.
It seems to me (a definite unskilled, non-tradesperson and layperson) they have fairly clearly advised the need to consult with a licensed Gas Fitter.

I built a 44" yacht years ago and the gas fitter allowed me to run all the gas lines and connect.
He told me exactly where/distance to provide anchor points for copper line and grommets when going through the bulkhead.
2 provisos - he could inspect visually ALL sections of the line and leak test before certification.
All worked OK.

have 2 gas bottles
going to fit a duel gas regulator
need to fit a line from the regulator to the copper line going to the van
does this have to be a copper line or will a flexable gas line do ?
thanks for any imfo
Ditto
Here is a link to an Australian caravan repair site which shows all you need to know. Doesn't seem too hard at all
