What size Calor cylinder do you have?  We use a 4.5Kg Butane & it lasts for years running the cooker (we don't use the gas heater or fridge).  There is an aluminium disc giving the empty weight of the cylinder in pounds & ounces held on to the top of the cylinder by the valve.  Weigh the cylinder & this will tell you how much gas is in there.  On a cold morning, you'll see condensation on the cylinder showing the gas level.  You can also get a Gasflow gauge that shows when the cylinder is running out.  Shaking the cylinder & feeling the liquid slosh around is a rough & ready method. The magnetic stick on gauges do not work.

Camping Gaz is as you say available abroad.  It will work fine in your camper, but you will need a cylinder (free from your local tip) & a regulator for about £5.

Hi

I use calor but always carry one of these adapters that converts a camping gaz 907 to fit a calor regulator. http://www.leisureshopdirect.com/Caravan/gas/Gas_regulators$$6.aspx

We use a 907 as a back up bottle so we can replace one or the other where ever we are Europe or UK.

Of course I don't switch both on as this would over pressure the system.

Both systems ar 28 mBar I think, both cylinders are Butane but I'm not sure that I'd be connecting the two.  There isn't really a need in a TT.  It is different in a static van or even a tourer when the water could go cold with you in the shower!

Did it run on gas?
