🔄 Changing an empty gas bottle - Camper Castle (Knaus Sky Wave)

To change the gas bottles (11 kg), several steps must be followed to ensure safe handling:

  1. Close the shut-off valves behind the flap under the sink (=horizontal).
  2. The gas bottle is located in the right exterior compartment next to the garage:
  3. Turn the brass-coloured regulator on the gas bottle to close it (even if the bottle is empty):
  4. Unscrew the connector from the gas bottle by hand (Note: left-hand thread).
  5. Loosen the straps around the gas bottle.
  6. Remove the bottle from the compartment and replace it with a full one.
  7. Secure the bottle again with the straps.
  8. Screw the connector onto the gas bottle by hand (Note: left-hand thread). 
  9. Release the air from the line by pressing the black button and turn the gas back on:

Warning

  • Do not use any tools to screw the connector onto the gas bottle, as it may not be possible to unscrew it again!
  • Be sure to close the shut-off valves and gas bottles while driving!
  • Please also note that the gas compartment must not be used as storage space for safety reasons.

Please note that bottles purchased outside Germany may require an adapter. Here you will find all possible adapters and information about gas suppliers abroad.
