We are off for our first camping trip to France shortly. We are going for a month and will be using gas frequently. We currently have one campingaz bottle (I think a 907?). I find it a pain disconnecting the bottle each time I want to use the BBQ or the stove in the awning. So I popped down to my local gas supplier to get a second and got a real fright at the cost. He explained that with campingaz you buy the bottle as opposed to renting it when you deal with calor. Fine I thought I will just get a calor bottle, but he then explained I would struggle to get it refilled in France. So what do I do - I’m thinking about getting a seven kg bottle from calor (seems pretty good value) and taking my 907. I guess that should be enough and I can always refill the 907, any thoughts.
I was having a look at the calor website and they seem to do an additional bottle loan service I have copied the details below. Has anyone used this service
Following feedback from customers about the issue of cylinder availability whilst touring in Europe, Calor has launched a new scheme to offer caravanners a solution.
In order to meet the energy needs of caravanners who remain abroad for long periods, Calor will allow caravanners the ‘free loan’ of an additional cylinder in return for a deposit.
When the empty cylinder is returned, the deposit, less the cost of the gas, will be refunded.
The loan scheme is a result of ongoing customer feedback, and a survey carried out by Calor to identify the requirements of touring caravanners travelling to Europe. Over half the caravanners who responded to the survey travel to Europe, and a large proportion of those stay abroad for three to four weeks at a time, so are likely to require a gas refill.
The scheme will be available at any of the 55 Calor owned sites located throughout Britain and offers caravanners real peace of mind when travelling abroad.
