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.<\/p>\n

But hasn\u2019t it been possible to leave the gas cylinder open all the time and to operate a gas heater or gas-powered refrigerator, also while driving, for some time? Yes it has \u2013 thanks to GOK. GOK has been offering the DriveOne and DriveTwo<\/strong> from its Caramatic line for single- and two-cylinder systems<\/a> in camping vehicles for several years.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s new about the Caramatic SafeDrive<\/a>, and how does it differ from the DriveOne and DriveTwo<\/a>? The biggest difference is its modified system configuration. While the DriveOne or DriveTwo require one (or two) high pressure hose assemblies to connect the gas cylinder to the pressure regulation system, the Caramatic SafeDrive is screwed directly onto the gas cylinder.<\/p>\n

The Caramatic SafeDrive is a single unit consisting of a crash sensor and a low pressure regulator. The pressure regulator, also known as a pressure reducer, is responsible for ensuring that the gas equipment installed downstream is continuously pressurised to the same level so that it can function properly.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Advantage 1: Pipe system monitoring<\/span><\/h2>\n

The crash sensor monitors the entire pipe system, including the gas hoses and piping, and shuts off the gas flow if an accident involving the motor caravan, caravan or motor home occurs. If it didn\u2019t do this and the gas cylinder was open, in the worst case scenario, unburned gas could escape and cause damage.<\/p>\n

Monitoring the entire pipe system with a safety device is one of the major advantages of the Caramatic SafeDrive, which only this form of system configuration offers.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Advantage 2: Straightforward retrofitting, conversion and installation<\/span><\/h2>\n

Screw the pressure reducer including the crash sensor directly onto the gas cylinder and connect it to the piping with a gas hose \u2013 the straightforward installation process is also a considerable advantage. The two-cylinder system can also be installed very easily by any camper.<\/p>\n

A unit consisting of a crash sensor (in the blue housing) and pressure reducer is attached to each of the two gas cylinders. The central regulator is connected to the changeover regulator via a hose assembly. Another hose leads from the central regulator to the piping.<\/p>\n

This straightforward, well-known system concept makes retrofitting and installation very easy. Changing manufacturers to GOK isn\u2019t a problem either. Regardless of which manufacturer\u2019s system was previously in use, the Caramatic SafeDrive is suitable for a wide range of retrofitting projects.<\/p>\n
