Dormy gas pipes

[Bricktop]

Could someone describe the routeing for the cooker gas pipe on the dormobile, ideally from the cooker to the rear seat. Does it go under the floor?
Thanks

Where is your gas bottle?
Some dormies had them in the cupboard behind the drivers seat, some had them in the LHS battery tray next to the engine, I think earlier ones had the engine bay version.

Mines a 72 so the gas pipe goes through a hole in the bulkhead down to the floor, across the floor(along by the heat vent) and then up into the cupboard behind the drivers seat.

Fraid I cant help with the routing of the earlier version.

On my (April) 71 it does run accross the floor - under the lino there is a piece of hardboard and the copper pipe (1/4 inch) runs under the hard board in one of the corrugations of the floor panel. I will break out the camera in the morning and stick some photos up for you.

Its a 1969 model which used to have the bottle in the engine bay, my restorer removed the complete cooker and pipes and i cant remember how they got from the cooker to the engine bay, i now want to put the bottles underneath where the cooler box is and refit the original cooker.

Photos as promised:

(The pipe then runs down between the 1 inch or so gap at the back of the wardrobe (kind of a "false" back) and turns 90 degrees to run under the "floor" of the wardrobe

(The pipe is fixed down by 3 or 4 simple u shaped clamps (self tap screwed into floor)

(The T-off is to my propex heater)

Hope those help, give me a shout if you want any dimensions or extra pics, FS

Thanks for that FS, unfortunately the floor has now been recovered with ply and the cupboards put on top! so I will have to find an alternative route By the way is that propex heater any good? been considering getting one.

No worries. Propex is excellent, turns van from freezing to proper roasting in about 3 minutes, only slight criticism is that its a bit noisy. FS
