I have used BP gaslight for the last 11 years, no issues at all homebase do refills.

As it's propane it also burn hotter so you dont use as much.

Ok, saddo that I am I've spent my evening doing a bit more research on this. I'm not a c&cc member so don't have access to the article in the current magazine and I'm certainly not going to pay £40 to read it. However, after a quick browse of the other caravan forums on t'interweb and reading between the lines it seems that it says there maybe a chance that Calor will not replace the lite with anything but gives nothing concrete. I did find an article dated December 2018 stating the Calor lite replacement would be rolled out by end of June 2016. I can't find any sort of official statement from Calor more recent than the original 2017 statement but, as of 5 mins ago, their website was down. Not sure if that's relevant.

Given the alternatives on the market that seem to be going from strength to strength I just can't see Calor not having a dog in the fight. The caravanning/camping market must be a massive part of their business, we're all looking to save weight and if a lightweight calor bottle is no longer available we'll vote with our feet won't we?

My local Calor depot had plenty of Calor lite bottles when I was there and the bloke I spoke to seemed to think that would be the case for sometime. I guess as long as they're still available I'll keep using them. When they run out and if there's no replacement I'll probably bite the bullet and go down the safefil route
