Well the bills are in, our static in Normandy seems to use a bottle a month irrespective of if it's rented, or used by us.
What's normal consumption then?
When we are there we use the cooker everyday for about an hour and have a couple showers etc... heating is electric.

Could be a very slow leak.
Check all the joints with soapy water and smell next time you're over there.
Otherwise suspect site owners or staff.

We used to own a park home which used calor bottles and we used one a month but that was for heating as well, didnt use much in summer though.
We have just made inquires about owning a static and stopping touring and was told that the average consumption was 10 bottles a year and about £52 a bottle, well you can work that one out yourself!!!

We use about the same as dreadnought. 1 large propane bottle lasts about 6 month thru the summer and my wife usually has the fire on each night, we have a gas cooker and we both have showers, so your usage seems pretty excessive.

Yes definately lock your bottles, but make sure the site owners have a key in case of emergency when you are not on site. We used to have a static and had bottles swopped a couple of times - hence the chain & lock

It's actually against fire regulations to have your gas bottles chained, so your site might not look favourably on your doing this.

we used 2 13.5 kg cylinders last year over around 10 weeks, showers/cooking but no heating. we use a parafin heater to heat the van - NO i am not mad! its called an inverter at 160 euros to buy - fully controllable, timer to come on before we get up and it doesnt smell! i wouldnt have one though if we rented the van out !
