As Karisman says there is a push valve thingy. If you follow the short hose from the bulkhead, just before it goes into the regulator that sits on top of the bottle I have a green plastic push valve about 18mm in diameter. I frequently forget to press this even after owning the van for three years.
The routine should be, turn on gas at bottle, flip the white toggle leaver on the bulkhead, press the push valve and then go inside. Open the relevant isolator valve under the sink. If you are using the gas fire or fridge I find it a good idea to get the hob going first to help the gas get through/purge any air locks. These normally take longer to light.
