How can I use several LPG cylinders in the caravan, motor caravan or on the boat at the same time?
The key benefits of multiple cylinder systems in leisure time: security of supply and convenience. We’ll show you which GOK products you can use to enjoy your holiday and leisure time to the fullest.
All the multiple cylinder systems listed below have in common that you never draw from both cylinders simultaneously.
In this blog post, however, we only deal with multiple cylinder systems for use in caravans, motor caravans or on boats. In this article, we describe multiple cylinder systems for household and industry use, for example.
Caravan and motor caravan
Caramatic ProTwo
The ProTwo (image) consists of an automatic
changeover valve and a pressure regulator. In addition, two LPG cylinders are connected via high pressure hose assemblies. Should either side become empty, the system automatically switches to the reserve cylinder as a result.
The red/green visual indicator shows you from which side you are currently drawing LPG.
Caramatic SwitchTwo
In contrast to the two controller systems described above, the DuoComfort is purely an automatic changeover valve. In any event, you require a separate pressure regulator, which regulates the gas flowing out of the cylinders to the supply pressure of, for example, 30 or 50 millibars.
To connect the DuoControl or DuoComfort to the cylinders, you must select two high pressure hose assemblies.
Whether you opt for DuoControl with or without a crash sensor or the DuoComfort, we always recommend that you install a gas filter (image) upstream of the system. It protects the subsequently connected devices and fittings from contamination.
Water craft
Caramatic BasicTwo
The two-cylinder system Caramatic BasicTwo is especially suitable for use on boats. The special coating means that the salty sea air cannot harm the pressure regulators. The Caramatic consists of two pressure regulators. Both are attached directly to the cylinder and are connected to a hose line.

The changeover regulator uses a rotary knob to control from which side the gas is taken. For example, if the changeover regulator is in “reserve” position, LPG is taken from the cylinder to which the central regulator is attached. If you leave the switch position like this permanently, gas is taken until the cylinder with the central regulator is empty. The Caramatic BasicTwo then automatically switches to the second cylinder.
Extended area of application: You can also use the Caramatic BasicTwo for stationary operation as a two-cylinder system in a caravan or motor caravan. It is therefore not permitted for heating while driving.
