    does any body run both cooker and propex off 1 camping gaz bottle and use both at once
     
  2. I think rickyroo does, if you get a twin tap then you can control what is on and off via that.

  3. My cooker and propex are both connected to the same bottle, with separate taps, but I've not tried running both at the same time (yet)
     
  4. We have ours running off the same bottle. The pipe has a little T junction which then goes to individual pipes (with their own cut off valve) In my experience I've never ran them together because if we are cooking the van gets pretty hot so heating is not required!!

    We have a large (13kg) gas bottle outside so there's not an issue with not having enough gas :D

  12. Hi Ken I guess you've answered this yourself by now but mine takes about 30 seconds before the fan turns off maybe longer.
    Nice one on getting it sorted, welcome to a nice cosy warm van ;)

    It has a cooling down cycle Ken. The burner turns off but the fan keeps running for a minute or two.
