Motorhomes can't have their gas bottles outside like a caravan does. But they are in a compartment sealed to the inside. Its only accessible from the outside and has vent holes in the floor should gas leak. This is an approved method of carrying gas in a motorhome.Nowadays the trend seems to be toward model specific under slung LPG vapour tanks with the fittings in a valve box and sealed cover with a vent pipe. At one time these tanks could be fitted inside as well with the appropriate brackets. The valve box would be vented outside through a hole in the floor. Not sure if this is still legal or if vehicle specific under slung tanks are the way to go to save space. Reach2clean in the south (I think the business has now folded) used to offer a sealed cabinet to put the gas cylinder in vented through the floor with the gas heater above it. They built a similar system to Arthur at Sureclean systems but they vented their heater through the roof. I don't know if Arthur's cabinet is sealed.
Arthur will polish it out.https://youtu.be/UliP8lREHv4
Under calor gas technical advise page. It also states it is not to be used near anything electrical so the use of a pump would also deem it unfit to be used in the van really.
Actually, looking again at those pics ..... how on earth did he survive that?
Did he have the cylinder in the cab then? Looks like the door was blown off and the roof but the bulkhead is still there? Bet he's a bit deaf in the left ear now
