you need to check the noseweight of your caravan as this must not exceed the allowed noseweight (download on the car towbar) allowance of your car.( legal requirement)

then you can work out if you need to remove the gas bottles & everything else from the front locker,But normally the bottles stay in the front locker

Hi,

Just been away for my First weekend in the Caravan,Checked the Noseweight and it was over by 7kg,Removed the gas Bottle and it was Smack on, I put mine over the Axle in the Van,It had moved when I opened the Van,The bottle had moved around,Luckily,not causing any Damage,From now on I will be putting it in my Boot.

My brother,Has the Calor Gas Lite Bottles,He says they make a massive difference,So when my two run out,thats what I will be getting.

Do all of you guys carry a spare bottle for back up??

Cheers

Stu

We turn our gas off but leave it connected, never had any problems. The gas locker is ventilated. Keep it in the locker, that's what it is made for.
