Truma does its level best with new caravan gas cylinder tool

Truma's new tool promises to make caravanning and camping even easier

A brand new futuristic product from Truma is set to make caravanning even easier, by allowing users to accurately measure how much gas they have left in their canister.

Bound to appeal to gadget fans, Truma’s product manager Nicolas Toomer explains that users hold the torch-like device against a canister and it employs ultrasound to read whether there is any gas behind that point on the cylinder.

An LED then glows green or red to say that there is or isn’t.

“This means it is very easy to establish how full the gas cylinder is. The ultrasound measurement makes it very precise and reliable,” he says.

“It is a great help when camping or enjoying outdoor activities, for example when barbequing with gas.”

The LevelCheck also works for any propane or butane canister, whether they are made from steel or aluminium. The only stipulation is that they have to measure between 200 and 350mm in diameter.
