Tips for people thinking about selling their campervan, camper trailer or mobile home that has a fixed LPG System.
✅ 1. Book a Professional Gas Safety Inspection
Hire a licensed gas fitter to conduct a thorough inspection. This ensures all appliances, connections, and systems meet safety standards.
🔥 2. Check for Gas Leaks
Use a soapy water solution on gas connections and hoses. If bubbles form, there’s a leak. Turn off the gas supply and contact a gas professional.
🗜️ 3. Inspect Hoses and Regulators
Look for cracks, wear, or damage on hoses. Check for obvious defects or damage. If defects or leaks are found turn off your gas supply.
🏡 4. Check Ventilation Systems
Ensure the upper and lower fixed vents aren’t blocked and that airflow is adequate. Poor ventilation can lead to carbon monoxide buildup, which is deadly.
🚪 5. Verify Appliance Functionality
Turn on each gas appliance (stove, heater, fridge) to ensure they ignite properly, burn cleanly (blue flame), and turn off correctly.
🧯 6. Check for a Working Carbon Monoxide Meter or Gas Detector
Replace batteries if needed and test for operation.
🔗 7. Gas Bottles
Gas cylinders must be stored upright, securely fastened, and stored in a dedicated ventilated compartment with proper drainage.
⚡ 8. Inspect Shut-Off Valves
Test all shut-off valves to ensure they operate smoothly. Buyers will want to know they can quickly stop gas flow in an emergency.
📋 9. Provide Gas Compliance Certificate
Engage a Gas Professional to perform a safety certificate inspection. A certificate will be required to show the system has been inspected and is compliant with safety regulations.
🧹 10. Clean and Declutter Around Gas Appliances
Remove dust, debris, and flammable materials around gas appliances. A clean system operates more safely and looks well-maintained to buyers.
