ORANGE LPG GAS PIPE should not be used for permanent insulation I’ll be changing this to copper pipe when I fit my gas locker in the rear garage of my van apologises for any confusion
Yet my factory built VW is fitted with orange gas hose as a permanent solution.
John Veryan that’s interesting because my old vw Combie was too 👍🤓👍
No reason or requirement for copper if under 1m.
Hi, any idea where one could buy a two ring gas hob, reasonably priced, thanks... love the videos.....
I would never put copper in a van. The van flexes, moves, get's jolted etc. which means the copper will work harden and crack. I never hard wire my plumbing either in boats or vans. It's just asking for trouble.
Love the tip of using those wooden round plugs to find the corners for the work top cut out.
Thank you and you’re absolutely welcome good luck with your build 👍🤓👍
looks great Mel! regarding the rattles, I suffered the same i finally built a shallow wooden lid (to match the interior) and added soft foam on the inside of the lid. this cushioned the hob bits and it also doubled as a "work surface/prep area" when the hob was nor in operation. Also it was a add hock tray if needed! .... just a thought
Oh that’s brilliant idea thank you 👍🤓👍
Ha! Thats what I said... oh that’s brilliant. Gotta love the viewers comments. Nice work Mel.
Thanks Mel I'm glad you did this for your channel
The amount of stick I got on fb for not using copper pipes was crazy 👍🏼
As far as I understand it as long as it’s under a meter it’s fine 👍
Mel’s Van World you cannot use flexible hose on a permanently fitted appliance. You can only use the orange hose on portable equipment. That company should not be supplying that hose with that cooker it’s against current EU regulations.
Simply simple that’s why I like your channel.
Richie Bainbridge thank you 👍🤓👍
I was just over checkin on young brettski ..kickin goals with his reno .. and now you with ya fancy new cooker n stuff ..and big fancy words ..eeeleviate ...strooth ..😂🤣😂jolly good carryon pip pips
Haha thank you hope you are staying safe 👍😷👍
You'll probably use it more than you think Mel, not having to take one out of a cupboard and set up. Nice little hob 👍
Thank you you’re absolutely right I’ve used it to make coffee 👍🤓👍
That's good in a way as I was gonna buy a oven with a hob but also have a camping stove. Then I was second guessing should I bother. But thanks to Mel's word on keeping me updated with Dvla I'm back to the original through.
That's a shame its taking up so much space, looking fancy though. 👍👍
Thank you Bex 👍🤓👍
I just bought a twin hob with a grill for my camper, and my rattly bits in the Center of the burners have a little self tapper screw through the cap into the cast body. Screw is off Center and I thought it was strange but you have just made me have an eureka moment! Thanks
Oh that’s what I thought about doing at first put screws though the burners but then had second thoughts good luck with yours 👍🤓👍
Another great tip regarding the rounded corners, I knew I watched you for a reason, lol
Thank you and you’re absolutely welcome 👍🤓👍
Brilliant idea to screw down the grids Mel the van is looking wicked xxx
Thank you that’s really nice of you to say 👍🤓👍
Nice one Mel. How about a wooden cover/hood to make it back into usable space when not using, and a couple of well placed foam bits attached inside the cover to sit gently on the hob to stop the rattle. Safer than remembering to take the bungee off . Nice unit though. See you next time 👍
That’s brilliant idea thank you 👍🤓👍
Hi Mel, thats a brilliant tip for the hole saw placement.
Thank you that’s kind of you to say 👍🤓👍
Sometimes the solution lies in your own barn... found å 15 ltr ventet can that will do as dieselheater tank and fits there where the 2 gassbottles stand (I take out 1 gassbottle in wintertime and replace it with dieseltank for winter use)👌🏻. Thanks for the inspiration🤘🏻
Thank you that’s great and you’re absolutely welcome 🤓👍
You are so informative and make it look so easy!! I'm really looking forward to our build next year.
Have you done a video on how you connected to the bottle and what you did to the cupboard etc to make it safe?
Thank you that’s really kind of you iv sort of not gone into detail about the LPG because of the safety issues involved it’s not my field of expertise and I don’t want to be responsible for anyone’s safety but check out Greg Vergoes video very informative about LPG good luck with your build 👍
great video mel, glad to know your big package isn't interfearing with your draws.... ha ha
Hahaha Oi Oi 😂😂👍
That's a nice little burner.
Pugwash thank you 😊
Excellent getting one for next van👍
ste k thank you 😊
Well done mel, looks really professional ❤💙
Thank you that’s really appreciated 👍🤓👍
Another great video mel some real simple handy tips cheers
john cunningham thank you 😊
You are a clever lad Mel. Al.
Thank you that’s really appreciated 👍🤓👍
Great addition
It’s better to have it and not need it,
Than need it and not have it.
David Wolters that’s a good saying thank you 🤓👍
Now all you need is a nice stainless kettle ....luv the video..cheers.
Ohh that’s exactly what I have coming I cannot wait to show you it’s really lush full size too so I can heat water for washing with no dramas thank you for your encouragement and support really appreciated 👍🤓👍
Mel your van looks amazing
Thank you 😊
Whatever next will DVLA demand goes into a Camper-van, must be something you have over looked that they can see you need to comply with?
But it looks a nice piece of kit and as you have proved it works so now you are compliant. Cheers mate.
Thank you that’s really appreciated 👍🤓👍
Aren't gas stoves fantastic? Brilliant!
Yes they are indeed brilliant 👍😂🤣👍
Brilliant love it well done MEL .👍🍺🇬🇧🤘
Thank you 😊
Perfect gas
Loving the uploads Mel the van is looking the dogs Cahonease...
Thank you that’s really appreciated 👍🤓👍
I'm still going back and watching the older videos .
Definitely my favorite CZcamsr across the pond.
Thank you that’s so kind of you 👍🤓👍
Nice hob mate nice simple fix to rattle
Thank you glad you like it 👍🤓👍
Good work mate!!!
Thank you 👍😊👍
very neat fit Mel
Thank you 😊
Well done for the great video
Thank you that’s really appreciated 👍🤓👍
Mel: I think I'd have just cut a bit of sponge to fit under the bit you screwed down while you travelled. Would stop the rattling and stopped the big lump from slipping off at the same time - no need to screw down, and easy access for cleaning as grease will build up under that dang thing :-)
That’s what I was thinking 👍
Handy having it close to the door, for when the frying pan catches fire mate. lol Al.
thanks for having so much faith 😂😂did I not mention I don’t cook it will only get used for coffee 🤣😂😅👍
Mel’s Van World You don’t cook? How do you get your meals?
jason antigua out of a tin or a package 👍🤓👍
Mel’s Van World Oh ok
Nice one Mel 👍 I'm currently waiting for a sink/hob to be delivered. 2 so far both smashed to smithereens... 3rd time lucky maybe 🤦♂️🤣
Good luck 👍
nice job mate , id have kept the cut out and make a chopping board that fits just inside the sink with a little hole to take it out , we always need more space don't we
Hello me old mate that’s a good idea 👍🤓👍
Great vid excellent tips to
Thank you that’s really appreciated 👍
nice job Mel. Jack Gate's idea is superb as a way of restoring additional work space and solving the vibration problem. Another idea with great merit can be found at "Life of Lenja" who used a slide out drawer underneath the work space. Worth a watch. Great video. Best wishes.
Thank you don’t worry I got it under control I’ll show you in my next video 👍🤓👍
Wonder how easy itll be to convert to campervan, with that fitted, Mel..
You'll probably need the graphics, a large compass sticker and an awning next..lol
Good addition to your van, either way.. 😉👍
❤💙❤💙❤💙❤
Thank you and yes awning is on it’s way stickers are at the ready 👍🤓👍
Ive just fitted an underslung gas tank, what a job that was, the weight in it is no ones buisness, and i didnt have a jack so was bench pressing it up 😂
Bramish EU that’s brilliant idea and well done 👍 😬👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld tbh Mel, they save space, and they come with all the rubber coared gas pipe, so all piping is ran underneath and pops thru at the appliance. However, they arent cheap, about £400, on the upside, they come with everything, recessed filler box and all pipe work/maniflod and even pipe clips with tek screws. They are worth it if budgets stretch that far. Oh, and comes with digital lvl indicator and cable.
Good video!!!
Thank you 😊
Mel, I like you channel. BTW you can get this same unit in the US marketed by Ramblewood that has an igniter using a 1.5V battery.
Will keep you warm at the same time
Hi I’ve got a wood burner for that and a diesel heater now a gas hob I’m never going to get cold 🥶 😂👍
Brilliant! I am planning a similar build but it will be on top of my fridge : not sure if this is going to work to have a gaz dropout below the fridge and if I ll be able to seal the cabinet where the fridge is
Just take your time and you will figure it out it’s all about trying and learning what works for you 🍻👍
option is put it on drawer rollers and recess it under your work surface
Looks a good job Mel. Just need a fold up work top now 👍
You got any adventures planned after lockdown?
Thank you I’ll be heading over the pond 👍🤓👍
Good vid Mel, did ya see you got a mention on Max and Lee's channel regarding the diesel heater install ? :)
Hi yes I’ve been getting messages all afternoon lol I’m so stocked I can’t believe it 😂👍
Awsum mate why dont you just take the rings of while your driving, also you could make a wooden box to cover the cooker so you still have a work top when not using cooker, put a hinge on cooker cover and it will double up as a heat shield for the window when cooking,, 😁
That’s a fantastic idea thank you 👍🤓👍
Hi Mel, Love the vids mate, subscribed. Are you doing a vid on the gas drop out vent too, if you haven't already?
Cheers & keep up the great work with these vids.
Looks great bud I was going to fit one then I thought just have a camping stove, now because of dvla will need to fit one :) nice hobs :)
Thank you and yes I have a camping stove but same as you I want to try and get my van registered as a camper good luck 😬👍🤞
Mel’s Van World do you need a safety gas certificate? 👍💪😊
All the vans I have built never been asked for one 👍😬👍
Since you channel is about self build campers, it would be worth mentioning to get install checked by a Gas Safe engineer, if person is unfamiliar with gas regs. Safety first and please mention about CO alarm importance
Mel’s Van World aww ok :) I will have it checked tho :)
You did amazing I enjoyed it. I’m curious will this run on a propane tank. I’m planning on building an outdoor kitchen.
Thank you and yes it will 👍😊👍
put a flap on the end to extend your work serface mel
I’m on it 👍🤓👍
Looks like your cooking on gas pal 👍
Wayne thank you 😊
I have the single burner dometic gas hob! I need help figuring out how to hook it up to 5lb propane!
hi mel just a thought mate, if you did not want to kink the gas pipe maybe you could adjust the gas connector to vertical and then you would get no kinks.
Hi I could not do that because of the draw 👍😊👍
New to your channel, just subscribed, Thank you :)
Thank you I really appreciate your encouragement and support means so much 👍🤓👍
nice hob mate.
Thank you that’s really nice of you to say 👍🤓👍
Hi Mel Nice job done . Robbie U K
Thank you 😊
Very well explained, do you need a fan above it? And will try to look up model. Love 5he shut off feature, what did you pay for it.
great location ... jokingly ... wind will keep the flames out
Iv no worries with wind as I fitted a splash back 👍🍻👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld Thanks, I need to remove my old unit an measure the opening to my options. Maybe use it until I can install a new top. The stainless top on mine was so badly neglected by the prior owners, it caked rust! .... if you can imagine that.
Tidy bit of kit that, if you need to test it I'll have fried egg and bacon. Good to see nothing is interfering with your draws 😋
No worries Chris be my pleasure 👍🤓👍
Wouldn't magnets help the gas ring cover stop rattling... 🤔 great video mate deffenty be ordering the hob.
Hi Daniel good idea but it’s stainless and not magnetic 😊👍
Your hand motions remind me of Jack Sparrow. Nice vid
Haha 😂 that’s a first thank you
Hi Mel, I have the same cook top and the cast iron top has small rubber feet on it and I dont get any rattling at all.
Hi ya yes mine has the same rubber feet too I just didn’t want it to come flying off when I go a pot hole 👍😂👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld I also made a top to cover mine so when not in use I still have a useable worktop and when lifted it acts as a splash back and wind deflector
GAZO D that’s a great idea 👍🤓👍
Hi Mel, great vid as always! At the risk of sounding daft: with the LPG set up, can the cooker use either propane or butane or both?
Also, do you have a video of how you made the gas locker?
Cheers mate
Lordpaulio 😊
You can use them both 👍
Thanks for the shoutout mel you shouldn't be talking about your sticky drawers in public now all you need to make is a splashback now before you splash all over your window 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
You’re absolutely welcome thank you for your encouragement and support the sad thing is I probably won’t be using the gas hob that much 😂👍🍻
Mel, have you thought about making a chopping board / cover!?
I have now 👍🤓👍
Any ideas where I can get a reasonable priced 2 ring hob thanks
hi have a look in my amazon store you will find the hop i use in my camper under campervan kitchen www.amazon.co.uk/shop/melsvanworld
Great video as always Mel did you convert the new stove to 12v or did you use a main plug just to show it works? Just had though mind your side window a lot of heat as you are well aware? From sunny skeggy uk
Thank you some good points there regarding the window I’ll have to put something up to protect it and yes I plugged it in to see if it works when I’m out I’ll just use a lighter 🤓👍
Great video Mel ,,,you should start your own business doing campers..
Cracking little cooker Mel much was it ...
Thank you I have built some for other people in the past i put link to the hob it was about £130 👍
hiya Mel love this 2 ring stove, i did notice in listing that it has a 240volt plug which is for auto ignition, so is yours plugged into an inverter? Cheers Adam
I’ve got it plugged into my power oak works great 👍
HELP NEEDED !!
Hello Mel. Or Anyone who can help .!!
I can't work out how you got a pilot light to fire on this unit, when its a 240v plug? - did you use an extension cable ? - Where you able to rewire it to go off your 12v system ? - Or did it just work from pure voodoo alone? - I would be so grateful if anyone knew the answer to this. Thanks in advance !
Hi, love the video, what gas bottle did you use?
Thanks Garry
Just a standard one but now I’ve updated it to flow gas refill 👍
did this come completely set up in box looking on amazon it shows it in seperate pieces
Yes 👍
Mel I have a two calor gas hob in my campervan was going to change it to the one you installed. Would I still be able to use calor gas bottle.
Yes you can 👍
Hi Mel
I have similar hob to yours how did you over come the ignition side as mine is 240v thanks Andy
I use a Bluetti power bank to power mine
I saw on another van build they put the cooker on a slide out so they kept the work top. cou.d you put a fold up top onto the end of the bench? Why do you Poms call it a Hob? great chanel love the vlogs
Heidi & Peter Brand Hi thank you I really don’t know why it’s called a hob 😂 and yes I’m going to use the lump I cut out to make a small folding end even though I do have a large table to prep food on thanks again for being positive much appreciated 👍🤓👍
That's a smart looking hob - I just wonder whether you will need the 240v supply to enable the flame failure feature , or is there a 12 v option on the it ?
That’s a really good question one I did ask the seller I’ll address that on Wednesday but for now no you don’t need power for it to work 👍
Campervan Photographer we’ll done 👍🤓👍
Nice mate, looks good!
❤💙❤💙❤
#SUPPORTVANLIFERS
Thank you 👍
Hi did you plug in your 240v plug? How did it light without the ignition plugged in?
Hi good question I had a power pack under my sink like this one of you want one don’t order one yet wait till jun 21st there going to do a promotion and I’ll be giving out a massive discount code I’ll make a video all about it the Friday before so hold tight amzn.to/3wgWAg6
What did you do with the electrics? I'm looking at doing this myself so just wondering
I bought similar to that one mines is a two burner vevor stove my question is when you turn on the gas does it makes like a hissing sound when the stove is turn of
No absolutely not that sounds like something serious wrong
Hi, how did you use the ignition if you didn’t use 240 v ? Great video
Thank you I used my Poweroak 👍🤓👍
I can’t see the link for where to get this.
Hi Mel great video as always , I’ve just fitted the same hob in my van can you remember if the brass conector from hob to orange gas pipe had a rubber seal I’ve got same conector but no seal wondering if just use ptfe tape be ok 🤔
To be honest I can’t remember for sure but I think the adapter did have like a tap washer send me a photo on Instagram to remind me
Any ideas how the brackets are fitted folk's, instructions are naff
Instead of you little bungee straps. Thinking now the grill is secure tuck a tea towel between grill and burner. Just a suggestion, stay safe 🚐☕️☕️👍🏴🌈
That’s fantastic idea why didn’t I think of that ? Well done 👍 🤓👍
Mel’s Van World and it will look nice 👍🚐☕️☕️👍🏴🌈
Hi Mel do you have to have a a metal sealed gas Locker for the DVLA change of V5 to motor caravan
I don’t think so but I’m sure all the information you need is on the DVLA website 👍😬👍
Hows you getting on with the cooker
I use it every day and it’s working great 👍
Hi Mel what did you use for the igniters you said you weren't going to use the 240v or did you in the end? personally I'd of cut the wire of and just kept a box of matches in the draw, Hope you keeping well,
Hi I simply plugged it in 👍😂👍
Hi Mel, Just seen this video. Although you said you have a view on 240v in your van, I'm interested how you got the peitzo electric ignition to work??
Hi I had my power oak in the cupboard underneath 👍😂👍
how did you change the ignition from 240v i could hear the ticking as you turned it on.??
I plugged it in to mains sorry I didn’t mention it in the video 👍🤓👍
“Have a go off your big package”??? Mel im getting concerned about you mate 😂🤣
Ohh don’t be afraid 😬😬😂👍
Mel’s Van World 😂😂😂🤣 . Good job on the hob though mate. Iv been building my LPG locker today, got to connect my hob up next 👍
BalooCamper good luck with it remember to keep it simple and safe 👍🤓👍
Mel’s Van World i will indeed mate. Greg messaged me about my old gas installation too so this should be better. Got to keep the camping master mr Virgoe happy haha 😎
What did you do with plug ? For ignition ? What wires did you use for 12v from the hob
Quite simple I used one of these amzn.to/3u4ZliH
Hi Mel great vid. Do you have a link for that hob mate ?
Prob a silly question but how did you get ignitor to work without using the 240v ?
Cheers
Derek murran thank you there’s a link in the description of this video for you and I used an inverter for the 240v 👍🍻
Hi Mel … looking at installing this gas cooktop in my van. Like you, I won’t have 240v power in the van. I assume the gas ignition does not require 240v to work. What does the 240v operate. Regards Gino from Australia
Hi Gino I used my Bluetti
Can you use that scrap counter wood piece for an extension fold-up counter?
Ohh that’s brilliant idea I’m so great full thank you 👍🤓👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld maybe you could hack up a piece of wood with a pipe, like your table. Drill a hole in the top end of your counter to the right of cook-top and put in a swivel work surface tier. Something you could plug up when not in use and store the extension some place or swivel tier over cook-top when not in use. Maybe a wood plug with a tiny knob to pluck it out if needed to cover the hole. Options! I guess you could use hidden magnets to keep your plug in place☺️ Or you’ll have to build hinged extension out over those switches when you enter, but it’ll get in your way too much.
I didn't see you install the liquid gas, did you put in a vent hole thru the floor
Yes definitely need a vent when using LPG 👍
I've got mine fitted but not connected electrics yet.. Hsve you wired It to your inverter? Would be interesting tic see as I'm yet to buy a inverter
Hello no I just plugged it in to see if it works when I’m out I’ll use a lighter 👍
