There have been many reports in the media all about the shortages of gas. But not all gas is the same. It is clear from the reports that the current context of the gas shortages refers to natural gas, for example. Despite this, however, it is still worth asking whether there is likely to be a shortage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Read more
The Caramatic ConnectClean gas filter is used in the (motor) caravan cylinder case and sits between the gas hose and the pressure reducer or control device. And almost every camper knows it: there’s not much room in the cylinder case and every millimetre of space is valuable. Among other things, this encouraged GOK to develop a shorter filter cup for the gas filter. Read more
Gas filters are now almost standard in the LPG systems of motor caravans and caravans. For relatively little money, they offer a lot of protection against contamination in LPG for the sometimes very expensive end devices, such as gas heating, refrigerators or gas-powered barbecues. However: When is the gas filter or filter cartridge “full” and when should it be changed by the operator?
First of all, there are, of course, risks when handling LPG, i.e. propane and butane. However, this is nothing unusual in our daily lives. If you don’t adhere to certain safety rules, electricity, fuel oil or fire are also potentially dangerous media or elements. In this article we show what needs to be taken into account when handling and using gas cylinders so that private use remains safe and convenient – just as it has been for decades!
If you want to operate the gas system of your motor caravan or caravan while driving as well, you definitely need a crash sensor. Since 2021, GOK has been offering a self-developed version of this safety device with a pendulum solution as a functional principle. The crash sensor is always an integral part of a gas pressure regulation system such as the Caramatic DriveOne or Caramatic DriveTwo. Read more
Did you use a gas pressure regulation system from the manufacturer Truma in your motor caravan or caravan – for example a silver Truma DuoControl CS or the Truma DuoComfort changeover valve (up to year of manufacture 2018)? And now you have replaced it with a control device or an automatic changeover valve from the Caramatic line from GOK (e.g. SwitchTwo or ProTwo). This raises the question of whether you can continue to use the existing remote display (Truma DuoC) and, if so, what to look out for during assembly. Read more
Gas barbecuing is becoming really popular and increasing numbers of people are getting involved around the world. However, the first handling of the medium liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) makes quite a few people feel uneasy.

The Senso4s PLUS level gauge for gas cylinders has been available since November 2020. A lot has changed since the previous version – especially for camping in motor caravans or caravans.

If you’re using a gas barbecue, sooner or later you will ask yourself: How long will the gas last, or how many times can I still barbecue with the gas that’s left? As is frequently the case, the answer is: It depends! In this article, we say at least what is important, provide you with a calculation tool and present a digital tool with a forecast function.
Can you make spare ribs or pulled pork “low & slow” on the gas barbecue, i.e. cooking at a low temperature? Of course you can! But the problem here is often keeping the temperature on the gas barbecue constantly in the recommended range between 110 and 120 degrees Celsius – regardless of whether you have a gas barbecue from Broil King, Napoleon, Outdoorchef, Weber, or any other brand. It’s sure to work out with GOK products.
