Is is very difficult to attach a regulator to campingaz cylinders?

I noticed when looking it up that it involves using a spanner and I am not good with spanners! And I can't find a youtube video on it.>

It is the simplest thing on the planet. So are spanners. Really, they're not difficult, a short period of time looking at the gas cylinder and your spanner will sort it out. A spanner is just a way of giving you some more leverage, it's like opening a jar.

Gather your guts, woman, and just do it! Ask your camping gaz retailer if you really feel you can't, but I promise you, you can.

In about 30 seconds.

Honest.

OLKN, I will give it a go, although I am still not confident! Things that look obvious to other people have often been a challenge to me.

Spanner?
I think ours just screws on to the top instead of the cannister stopper?

That's what I was hoping, Blu!

There's some business with a jubilee clip and the hose - fixing the hose into the regulator. I suppose that might entail a small spanner? But you only need to fix it on the once.

I've got loads of camping advice from the campinguk website. Have you ever been on it?

chipmonkey · 05/03/2012 22:08

No, haven't been on that one Dorset. Have been on UKcampsite and a couple of Irish ones. Will have a look!

Blush UKcampsite may be the one I mean. Sorry. I'll check for you.
