Did you always have the BP Gaslight, and if not what did you do with your original gas bottles.  We had to pay a rental fee for our Calor Propane gas when we got them from new.  Did you pay a rental fee for the BP ones as well. 

 


We have only just changed over to BP Gaslight.  Yes, we did have to pay a one-off rental fee of £25 on the bottle.  The saving in cost of gas, compared with Calor, will offset this cost and then it will be all gain.

                  Thanks for that Bertie

We have used Propane (red bottle) for years as it burns much fiercer and is better if you happen to have cooker and heater or other appliance on together.

However, we changed to BP lightweight gas with this new caravan to help keep the nose weight down, and as a result have three Red bottles going spare if anybody uses propane.  In fact one bottle (6kg) is full and never been used.

Good luck

Les Wilson.

I dont know if this is of any use, but we use MacGas, far cheaper than Calor.

If you have a supplier near you then it can save you a small fortune over the camping season.

As they are not as readily available as calor, we always travel with 2 11kg propane bottles to make sure we dont run out when going away for any length of time.

Another plus is that our supplier does not charge for new bottles either :)

The idea of BP Gaslight is that eventually it will be a Europe wide service-at present only Campingaz is exchangable Europewide but obviously the bottles at too small--

I would prefer a refill as opposed to an exchange.  That way I always have a nice new looking clean bottle instead of some one elses dirty scratched bottle.
