Well, fair enough - I'm glad it's not just me!

Regarding the video link I've posted above: I've noticed that whether or not it will play depends upon which 'browser' is being used at the time; Firefox seems to be happy with it, while Chrome needs to be in the right mood.  Can't comment on others.  I've never particularly understood technology, but there we are.

A few posts back there was a brief discussion about gas bottle brackets.  I may be wrong, but think I recall seeing them under the driver's seat of other Carawagons in the past.  That won't be an option for me, as I'm planning to run both rear and offside front fuel tanks (straight six and all that).  My current plan is to build a unit for a stove in the nearside rear corner of the interior (at the foot of the main bed), with a gas bottle stored inside.  I've seen similar set-ups in modern vans belonging to mates at work, so presume that'd sit okay from a legal perspective.  Does anyone have any thoughts?

Mine are under the driver's seat, as said with it being a 6. I've actually raised them recently as they were hanging a bit low and I did knock one on a lane on a Shell do once!

I think there's no problem with it being inside but you're really supposed to vent it to the outside I think. So the best way in my mind would be a sealed box/cupboard which is vented to the outside and a bulkhead fitting running the pipe through the wall up to where the cooker is, flexi in the 'locker' copper up to the cooker. That's probably how I would go about it.

Not that a Land Rover is particularly well sealed anyway...
