We are off on a months tour of Spain in September. Is there any advice as to what my options are if I run out of gas. I am taking a 7kg butane cylinder but I am concerned about running out. Is camping gaz an option?

Many Thanks
DG

7kg will easily last a month with daily use and barbecues.

Cheers Oxter,
Confidence in gas lasting out is much improved.

I assume you are going on a site, if so use electric, you've paid for it. We caravan for 6 months at a time and rarely get anywhere near using a bottle, last trip was just over half a bottle, enjoy your trip. Going anywhere nice?

Sounds great DG.
We are in our first year of vanning instead of canvas and folding campers.
However now we are retired, just maybe by next year, I will have the confidence in towing to take on something similar.
A trip to Spain may just be on!
