Ep89 – Caravan Gas Systems with Kev

Listen to the full episode here:

Usually when it gets a little gassy in the van, one needs only to crack a window.

In this episode though, our podcast hosts Ben and Lauren sit down with resident caravanning expert Kev from the Snowys Warehouse to chat the ins and outs of caravan gas systems.

We mean that literally too, covering all from internal and external appliances, to compatibility, care, and maintenance.
