nope they do not even say you need a gas box .

This has been covered so many times and from what your thinking is probally the regs if you want to have a lpg cert done on the van , which you dont need to register as a motorcaravan with the dvla .

Timber is fine, but it should be sealed from the habitation area, and ideally only accessible from outside. It must have drop holes in the base for ventilation of leaked gas.

it wont be able to be accessed from outside and where it is located the arch is in the way but yet drop out vents will be there and all other joints have drop out vents nearby too
