🍴 Propane Gas / Cooking / Stove – roadsurfer rent - Helpcenter

Here’s how you can cook in the Road House:

Open the gas bottle (11 kg), which is located in the boot on the driver’s side in the small cupboard. Turn the brass knob on the gas bottle to + or - to open or close it:

Some of our Road House models also have a black safety button. If that’s the case, open the valve on the bottle and then hold down the black button for about 5 seconds:
Then turn the safety lever for the kitchen to the horizontal position (pot symbol). This is located behind the folding lid under the rear bench seat:
Open both glass covers, as the heat when cooking could cause the sink lid to shatter.
To light the gas hob, press the desired gas knob down and turn it at the same time, while lighting the flame with the small black button.

Lighting the gas stove can sometimes take several attempts and/or seconds.
This is because when the gas pipe is empty, it must first fill up completely before propane gas can escape from the stove.
It is quite normal to smell a slight odor of propane gas before the stove ignites.

Attention

After cooking and especially while driving, you must close the gas hob, the safety lever and the gas bottle!

Please also note that, for safety reasons, the gas compartment must not be used as a storage space.

Troubleshooting

No gas?

You should hear a faint hissing sound from the gas and also be able to smell the gas. If this is not the case, check the gas flow thoroughly from start to finish:

Is the gas bottle full? Lift or weigh it: a completely full bottle weighs about 23 kg, an empty bottle about 12 kg.
Is the gas bottle open? Turn it at least 2 turns towards the "+".
Has the hose rupture protection been vented? Some models have a black button directly on the bottle valve. Press it firmly – you will hear a metallic click and this will release the air from the line.
Is the grey safety lever in the kitchen open? It should be pointing towards the gas line to be open. There is usually a sticker showing which position is open.

Hob not igniting?

You should clearly hear the electric click from the igniter. If not, check that you have switched on the 12V circuit and that the battery is sufficiently charged.
If you still do not hear the click despite working power, the electric igniter may be faulty. In this case, you can carefully ignite the gas at the hob ring with a lighter.

Hob does not stay lit?

Press the gas knob in while turning it – you should now hear the gas flowing. Ignite now. Keep the gas knob pressed for a few seconds after lighting the gas. This will give you a stable flame.

Some of our Road House models are equipped with a collision sensor. This can be triggered on bumpy roads and block the gas supply. Check the collision sensor; if the yellow pin is sticking out, press it and hold it for about 10 seconds:
