I have two lightweight 5 (or 6) kg propane bottles. Last a long time during summer. Two bottles gives me security during winter but also when the first bottle runs low. For long weekend I only bring one bottle if that bottle still is full enough (kevlar gasbottle, one can see the gas-level, and of course feel it).
Two small propane bottles is the most flexible option for travelling lightweight, light winter use, long weekends and travelling abroad.

Hi Andy If you haven't gone for BP gaslite yet, consider Calor propane. I have just bought a new Caravan and my first consideration for gas was BP, but when i went into it there was no advantage. Calor is cheaper and more important it is normally available on campsite.Weight is not a big saving on BP.Weight of full cyninders:   Calor 3.9kg = 9kg             6kg = 15kg  

BP    5kg    = 8.7kg          10kg =16.7kg.  

I have an automatic changeover valve, so i use two 3.9kg. BP is still difficult to get in some places.
