Hiya, first request for help from the wealth of wisdom in this place, this one has been driving me nuts.
When we put down our deposit our dealer quite rightly explained that when our van comes back in from its current owner they will move the gas bottles over to their new van, leaving us just the empty space and connectors for two bottles. He said we would need to pay the bottle deposit and purchase two calor bottles.
Now I'm sure that's right (from their part) but from my days of having a super ser gas fire i seem to remember you could buy the bottle from a local garage that fitted the same adapter as the calor one with no bottle deposit.
Could somone kindly tell me what bottles will my camper take, red / Blue, what size and can i just tell the dealer i have some at home and skip to the local garage to buy some? if so any sites around wellington devon you would recommend?
I also saw in chelstons shop they had the re-fillable bottles, since we have gas only heating i'd obviously like to look at the cheapest option for purchasing gas and the one that gives the best option when abroad as we plan on visiting the netherlands a fair bit.
Thanks for anyone that can give me a full run down, hope i can help one of you one day.
