    Interesting. It is always scary doing something like this for the first time. Especially with using hazardous fuels. I've never even seen a fueling station like that before. Glad you got it figured out safely. Have a great day.

      Thanks Steve - yep it was a bit nerve wracking - we had watched vids on how to do it, but nothing like trying it for the first time! 😃

      Gosh it was nerve wracking Julie. We have one exchangeable bottle and one refillable.
      We haven’t really used the exchangeable one yet.
      But on the refilling there’s a really unnerving “whoosh” as you take out the bayonet fitting.

    Yikes, a fire at the gas station would definitely be scary and I would not want to be that camper! I would have been at a complete loss as to how to refill the tank. It was a relief to see the pump finally reading. That final puff would definitely freak me out every time! Great tutorial guys!

      Thanks Donna, yes it was nerve wracking beforehand and definitely when the “whoosh” went off! 😃.
      We think we may have been the first ones to use that pump since the fire. We saw some film of that and it was very bad!
      But at least we’ve done it now 🎉🎉

    Happy Monday Dave and Sue and thanks for a technical movie, but still fun to watch the first time you tank with LPG. It is this feeling on not knowing for sure if you are doing it the right way:) It is easier with petrol, but when you get the hang of it it is better and more practical way to top up:) I used to have bottles of LPG at the cabin that had to be replaces or topped up, but not I have electricity and that works well. But that is not an option in an RV:) Have a great week! Ant

    • @NBNatureTrailvan

      A pretty nerve wracking experience Ant 😃. Our first time, and that garage had only recently opened after a big fire caused by a Motorhome filling with LPG.

    I had no idea that LPG so difficult. Who knew it could be such an adventure at the garage. That was a weird release, and yes, if you didn't know it would do that, you'd be scared.

    • @NBNatureTrailvan
      @NBNatureTrailvan  10 місяців тому

      Ha thanks DeAnna. Yes we were both a bit nervous. We think we may have been the first people to fill up there since a big fire caused by a Motorhomer filling up using the wrong connection.
      The “whoosh” at the end is unnerving!! 😃

  • @wendingourway
    @wendingourway 10 місяців тому +1

    Well, that's something you wouldn't be doing here as one needs to be licensed to fill with LPG in this part of the world. It can be quite a search as once found, you have to hope that the person with the license is there to fill you up. Always got a little kick with that "whoosh" at the end!! lol You did awesome!!

    • @NBNatureTrailvan
      @NBNatureTrailvan  10 місяців тому +1

      Gosh didn’t know that Bruce. Can totally understand why seeing as that garage had only just opened after a Motorhome fire caused by someone trying to fill with the wrong adaptor.
      The “whoosh” is definitely disconcerting!! 😃

  • @kevinlawrence2127
    @kevinlawrence2127 10 місяців тому +1

    I use the Auto gas app as an alternative to your app.
    The initial connection is pressurising the connection between the pump and refillable bottle, unless the pump sees a proper connection then it won't start pumping LPG.
    I have a problem with my local Morrison's as the pump nozzle is worn out, So I can't always refill my Safefill Bottles.
    Unfortunately the management company that manages LPG for Morrisons is due to remove LPG pumps from there forecourt sometime this year.

    • @NBNatureTrailvan
      @NBNatureTrailvan  10 місяців тому

      Ah, that’s a useful app to know - hadn’t seen that before - cheers Keven. 👍
      Yes, I realised what I was doing wrong when we watched it back, at least we’ve done it now 👍👍🎉🎉
      I knew Morrisons were considering stopping selling it, shame as it’s our nearest station by far!! LPG definitely getting more difficult to source.
      Have a great weekend and thanks for watching 👍👍👍

    What do you use the LPG for is it for fuel or is it for the cooking because I thought you're van was probably petrol or diesel sorry motorhome

    • @NBNatureTrailvan
      @NBNatureTrailvan  10 місяців тому

      Hi Victor. We use the LPG for cooking mainly, but also for heating if we don’t have an electric hook up. Electric heating is more efficient and less expensive so we only use LPG for heating vary rarely 👍👍👍
      The van is a Diesel engine 👍
