As well is two words!

Firstly, Calor announced they were discontinuing the 4.5kg cylinder in Jan last year, BUT after pressure from the boating industry, they announced in Dec last year (well, sort of announced, still not showing on their website, but publicised in boating magazines!) that they are doing a U-turn and continuing them! - BUT there is now a shortage of cylinders, so refills may be hard come by, but theoretically available!
FloGas do an equivalent sized cylinder, but with a different regulator/hose coupling fitting! So you can carry on putting the cylinder in your locker. I believe the FloGas cylinder dimensions are slightly different to the Calor cylinder, so worth having a measure up to ensure it will fit! https://www.flogas.co.uk/shop/category/all-cylinders/page/2
As mentioned previously, many camp sites, the big clubs included, will not allow an external freestanding cylinder, so a long hose and external cylinder may NOT be your solution! Long hoses that can potentially have a dip that liquid gas can accumulate in are regarded as a no-no as well!

Just another question with the crusader the electric hook up connector his in the battery compartment but that means leaving the battery compartment open when pluged in on site dont make sense
Cant speak for the specifics of the Crusader, but most caravans have the EHU point in the battery compartment, but the door has a notch out of the rim at the bottom which allows it to be closed and locked with the EHU plug connected and the cable safely located in the notch. Possible I guess that it's had a replacement door and it's not the correct battery/EHU compartment type if lacking a notch in the rim!

Leisure gaz do a very similar canister to the Campingaz 907, but it's yellow and a lot cheaper, I got one last year to substitute my calor bottle

That's a new one I hadn't heard of before, good to know there is a cost-effective alternative to the rip off Campingaz though! Never know, a bit of direct competition may force Campingaz to adjust their pricing!
Don't seem to be that many dealers as yet, and of course it's not as European wide as Campingaz is for foreign use. But I know a few people who may appreciate it for UK use.
