That kit is in 5/16 if your main line is 3/8 and you want to branch off in 5/16 you need a 3/8 tee with a 3/8 to 5/16 reducing flare nut like below. But personally I wouldn't reduce if your main line is 3/8". Also remember you can't branch of an existing appliance line you need to have an individual branch for each appliance with a isolating cock on each outlet.
just to clarify this, you can take a branch tee off another branch line , but not after the appliance service valve.
Typically Jayco use 5/16 pipe [which as a gasfitter I can't understand why] unless it has an extra gas load then they may use 3/8
AS5601 5.9.3 at least 1 Metre away from the door of any building, but the van is not considered a building.Gotta be mounted(bayonet fitting) so far from door too, cant remember but asked a gas fitter for a quote while he was at workshop and he mentioned that. Quote was $350 fitted by qualified gas fitter
Yes it needs to be installed by a licenced gasfitterLooks good. Do you need a gas fitter to install though?
I too will be installing sometime soon a point for a gas bbq and also another for connection of the recently acquired instant gas hot water heater on other side of van and I am considering using these quick connect fitting http://www.bromicplumbing.com.au/adaptors/caravan/quick-connect-adaptor.html
ebay linkhttp://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BROMIC-GAS-ADAPTOR-TYPE-G-3-8-SAE-FEMALE-TO-3-8-SAE-MALE-GAS-FITTING-ADAPTOR-/271853988338?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item3f4bc2a9f2
or maybe a wall mount bayonet and housing them in a similar box to the tank/water connection box http://caravansplus.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=14203
so as I don't need to crawl under van and keep dirt n crap out as well. My intention for the HWS is to also mount the water feed and 2nd tank filler in this box.
