barny71 that sounds a great idea to stop the warrenty problem,

the cost of these kits are expensive and would take some time to get your money back on the refils.

Hi barny71,

I recently fitted a gaslow system of a single 6kg cylinder, and of course all the associated pipework.

 The actual fitting was straight-forward but for having to find a suitable point on the van. Warrenty wasn't an issue for me and so I eventually fitted it to the lip of the caravan locker. This feels quite secure, its sheltered and I haven't had to drill through the body of the caravan. (Sorry I don't have a picture.) I considered the bracket approach but struggled to find a suitable fixing point which would give enough clearance for the filling hoses.

Finding LPG doesn't seem to be a major problem. I live in Worcestershire and there are several garages which do LPG. If I can drive on to fill with the car with fuel, I can fill the van with gas. The first fill is a little confusing but it gets better. I think I saved about £10 over buying a replacement cylinder. I don't anticipate getting back the costs of the  fittings but its worth it for the convenience. I shouldn't have to run out before refilling in future.

I only fitted the one cylinder, I have the option to add a second later but I would hope I can keep the one suitably topped up. I think a great deal depends on the kind of touring you do. We often have electricity and we rarely stay too long on any site, and so pass regularly pass garages.

It looks promising so far. Time will tell.
