If this beautiful van was mine, I wouldn't risk it. Keep it in place as a souvenir, & use a portable lamp.

The mantles were VERY fragile and the lights extremely noisy and hot and tended to flare a lot so the advise to remove and light somewhere other than inside a timber caravan is good :-) Lovely light however maybe a new bowl and a small smd led type light inside it ?

Hi SGTL. Great light but I think you will find that the on/off knob doesnt comply with the current gas regulations. Speaking of on/off knobs is this one a pull cord. Cheers.

Hi SGTL. On the principle that hot air rises and I don't even see a heatshield, there would be no way that I would try to light that lamp indoors. Why not convert it to electric, either 12 or 240v?

Thanks everyone, I really had no intention of using it, more like finding out how to make sure it is disconnected from the gas line! Still, would be interesting to see one in action somewhere in the world. A lot of early Australian vans had them so I assume they used them without gassing or burning the family to death

Hey SGTL, it looks like Mel has a gas light in her long long trailer. Pinch her glass fitting!!

Hmm, you are correct. Wonder if she'd part with the tea towel rail too
