Isn’t it the case that people who want to use the gas system in their motor caravan, caravan or motor home while driving, or who would prefer to leave the gas cylinder open all the time, need a crash sensor, an excess flow device and a gas filter? For most systems, yes – but not entirely with the Caramatic SafeDrive. Read more
The Caramatic SafeDrive is a pressure regulation system for the safe operation of the LPG system in motor caravans, caravans, or motor homes and camper vans. Its special feature: The crash sensor from GOK allows the gas cylinder to remain open while driving. The layout of the system is brand new and has a number of advantages. Read more
Connecting an LPG cylinder correctly – what might be a piece of cake for experienced campers can be something of a challenge for new campers. Where does the pressure reducer go, and where does the gas hose go? What system attachments are there? How tightly do I have to tighten the connections, and do I need tools? We answer the questions.

While sitting behind the wheel of your camper van, you ask yourself something all of a sudden: did I close the gas cylinder or the LPG tank before starting my journey, or is the gas system still open? Can it even be left open all the time? These questions must have been on many people’s minds. We answer these questions in our GOK blog. Read more
It’s a familiar problem when camping on a long-term basis or during the winter: with frequent use, the 5 or 11 kilogramme on-board gas cylinder runs out quickly, and the vehicle in which you enjoy your leisure time gets cold. Read more

The filter cartridge 2.0 is part of the Caramatic ConnectClean gas filter, which in turn protects the LPG system of motor caravans or caravans against contamination.

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!
