Licensed Caravan Gas Fitter Adelaide

Gas work on caravans is not DIY territory. South Australian regulations require all work on caravan gas systems to be carried out by a licensed gas fitter. We hold the credentials and issue the compliance paperwork.

Safety First. Compliance Always.

A leaking gas line or faulty regulator inside an enclosed caravan is genuinely dangerous - carbon monoxide, fires and explosions are all possible outcomes of botched gas work.

Every job we do is tested, certified and documented. We provide a compliance certificate for any installation, modification or repair work involving the gas system.

Why Certified Gas Work Matters

Unlicensed gas work voids your caravan insurance. If you have a fire or gas incident and the work was not done by a licensed gas fitter with a compliance certificate, your insurer will deny the claim.

Beyond insurance, gas errors in an enclosed caravan are dangerous. It is always worth getting it done properly.

Common Gas & Heating Issues

Pilot Light Won't Stay Lit

Usually a failed thermocouple, dirty pilot assembly or low gas pressure. Quick and inexpensive when caught early.

No Hot Water

Failed element on 240V, failed gas valve on gas mode, anode failure or thermostat fault. We diagnose the specific cause.

Heater Runs But Not Hot

Blower fault, thermocouple, exhaust blockage or control board failure. Proper diagnostic tools for Truma and Suburban.

Gas Smell Inside Van

Always urgent. We pressure-test the full system, isolate the leak, replace affected fittings and certify before handing back.

Smell gas? Turn off the bottle immediately, ventilate the van, do not create any ignition sources, and get the caravan to a licensed gas fitter as soon as possible. We handle gas leak repairs as priority jobs.
