You could save quite a bit by having just one bayonet, & just plugging in one or the other appliance at a time.

FWIW when I fitted out our bus I ran the gas lines myself, including making holes in bodywork, protecting them with grommets etc & securing the lines with brackets & then took it to a gasfitter to connect to bottle reg & appliance. Saved a fair bit by doing so. (Did the same with 240v electrics too). Just have to find a gasfitter willing to do this, some wont want a bar of it, & others will be happy not to have to do the 'shit' part of the job.

With camper trailers the rules & regs are different if cooking is outside to a caravan or motorhome where cooking is inside. Many gasfitters will not be familiar with the RV specific rules & you pay for their time to look them up & then because they are not sure they can go overboard at your expense to make sure they have covered their arse. I our bus the chap insisted I had to get a permanent sticker made saying something about curtains must be tied back when using stove, even though there were no curtains in the location. This is why I suggested going to a local caravan repair place, they will either employ a gasfitter or subby out to a gasfitter who will be familiar with RV rules & regs.
@Cuppa great idea about doing the layout myself and paying just for the soldering. A nice cashy or carton might get it done.
The link is helpful and I do believe the cost was bayonet fitted. Then the small cost of the tubing.
I will update asap. Get the trailer next week I hope and gassed soon after.
