I would check the effect that carrying two bottles containing 13kg of gas in each would have on the nose weight of the caravan. It might be more prudent to look at using the 10kg plastic Flogas bottles if you really need to carry a lot of gas, otherwise take a look at the Flogas 5kg plastic bottles if you want to save weight. Flogas have a good delivery network and do not charge extra for delivery. I leave my empty bottles behind my bins and they driver swaps them for full ones when requested - no having to go out to buy gas, the last time I went to a caravan dealer for gas I ended up buying a new caravan, so very expensive gas!

Slightly confused dot com. This is posted in the motorhome and campervan section. Have you swapped your caravan for a motorhome?. The same questions arise no matter what. You would presumably need different regulators for propane and butane, or have some sort of crossover arrangement. Unless you were going to use a lot of gas, I'd stick to propane.

Sorry, my fault. I don't know if it is a motorhome or Campervan. Must decide what I'm going to call it. Any ideas? Panel van conversion with shower, oven, fixed bed etc.

Mine is a panel van conversions with onboard facilities (toilet, shower, kitchen, hot and cold water).

As the base van is only a MWB VW Crafter and under 6m in length, I personally consider her as a campervan.

However, others may disagree.

She is registered as a motorhome with CAMC when I asked them to help me register my outfit when I found I could not do it myself.

They’re both “Motor Caravans” as far as DVLA is concerned. I used to think of camper vans as not having toilets, as in the old ‘splittie’ VWs. But the distinction is blurred now, PVCs usually seem to be campervans these days. But it doesn’t really matter, does it? Our MH is shorter than a LWB PVC, so size doesn’t matter either.
