But it's three times the work to check the bottles, fill them, etc .............

We use the BP Gaslight Propane 10kg bottle. One advantage is that you can visually check the actual gas level through the opaque material of the bottle.  The weight full is about the same as for a 6 kg Calor bottle, and cheaper than Calor.

For this saving, you have to use the 10kg bottle, which is a bit of a struggle to get into the front locker.  The BP 5kg bottle works out more expensive than Calor, so if you can't get the 10kg bottle in the van, it's more economical to stay with Calor.

normal 6kg bottle at CCC site west runton £16.50 calorlite £21.50 ,£5 difference for the same weight of gas think I will stick with the normal bottles.

"i had these bottles just watch out for the gauge on mine the show full for months then drop to empty really quick better not to have them i think any way i now swoped to bp see through bottles much better no exactly what i have in bottle "

The gauge is designed to register when the cylinder is about half full or less.
