We're going to taking our 1st camping trip abroad to France this summer via the eurotunnel.

We plan to take a small calor gas bottle as we normally do on camping trips in the UK.

A friend has told me that when using the eurotunnel the gas bottle must be filled to no more than 80%.

Can any seasoned euro campers enlighten me on this rule. 

Thanks in advance Jon

Oh right, thanks Bob, never knew that.

I've just checked their website and they say you have to be able to prove it's not filled beyond 80%, better buy a gas bottle gauge I guess

Thanks

Jon

Just have your cylinder handy in your trailer/boot/caravan or whatever so they can check its turned off, which they always have done with me.

I've also had the swabs done, makes you feel like a terrorist!! I think they're checking for explosives residue, something worth thinking about if you have been handling fireworks!!!

Thanks folks, that's some really good advice.
