its similar to the gaslowe, but its not a fixed unit, its designed, and approved to be removed, the gaslowe is a LPG Tank for installation.
I e-mailed for some more info, the valve on the tank is a dual purpose, ie you use it to connect to the van, and also used for filling, it uses a standard LHthread propane connector.
The connector has a one way valve in it, so if you open the valve with nothing connected, there is no gas escape.
You need a screw-LPG connector to refill, this does not operate the one way valve, so if you left the screw valve open with the fill adaptor on, there is no gas escape.
Filling, the pressure of the gas opens the one way valve to fill, it also has a overfill protection on it.
to me the plus of these is, lightweight cylinder, cheaper (gaslowe seems to be £120 for cylinder, and another £70 for the fill kit), much easier to swap between units.
and the big plus for me is you can get it to fill it easier, don't have to try to get your caravan onto a forecourt.
ok, some places dont like them yet, but looking at their map, I do have a filling station near me thats "approved"
