Mornig all

I have just had given to me a 15kg Calor gas bottle as my onw Alto Gas is such a pain to get filled, its just is the 15kg really too big? we dont get away in the winter and are what I would say are regular not frequent travellers.

What would people recommend as the ideal size for a small 2 berth caravan

BP GasLite (glass fibre cylinder) and CalorLite (Aluminium cylinder) come in 5kg and 10kg lightweight cylinders, and are aimed at the leasuire market.

HomeBase are a BP Gaslite stockist.

Cheer All for the advice...But turns out decision was taken out of my hands anyway as they only had another 15kg in stock.

Would like to have gone for the 7kg but seems its in the B Band and can only excahnge with ones in the A Band

Thanks anyway and looks like I am not going to need to refill for a few years now LOL

Hi.

    Inner Zone and birder99, I was thinking BP GasLite, so I stand corrected on the CalorLite info.

if you can get the 15KG bottle in the gas locker then i would keep it ,the contents are cheaper (no VAT i believe unlike the smaller ones) and far more economical if you use gas air or water heating
if you want a smaller bottle pop down your local council dump (whoops sorry "recycling" center) and they will have a cage where they will give or for a small "donation" sell you any size you want

Hi All

Well the gas did actually fit in the gas locker but must admit it did take a bit of fiddling, so now I reckon I probably have enough gas to outlast the actual caravan.

And thanks to those taht suggested the local 'recycling centre' I will certainly bear that in mind if this one ever runs out.

And mikecandsarhab yes I was told originally I had to swap with the same band but then he added he would have done it if it wasnt for the low stock on the 7kg
