Kevin,
It has been more than 50 years, but European codes were different than US and Canadian.
Is that 8mm tubing steel?
They did use that. If you want to try to use it and not replumb the entire thing in US code copper, you will have to make friends with McMaster-Carr, they supply just about anything used in western technology.
Their site is pretty straight forward and I just checked and they do have metric compression fittings. They have them in steel and have male adapters with NPT threads.
Good luck.

It looks like it could be 8mm tubing steel. Measurement looks about right.
I would love to replumb it, but I have a range that I don't think I'd be able to find a fitting for to connect it to the new tubing, though, I haven't tried McMasters. But should I use them if they're compression fittings? A fellow above mentioned that I shouldn't use them with propane. I know I'll NEVER get this trailer up to code, but I just want it safe so me and my family don't die in our sleep.
