Hi
We have bought a 20 year old A class to go round Europe for 12 months, leaving uk in September, and selling it when we return. We have only been out 4 nights so far and have no idea what to do with the gas in the UK let alone anywhere else. We know you cannot exchange gas bottles and as only have calor bottles we don't know what we will need or where we must get it. We will not know which countries we will run out of gas in as we already have a third of 11kg and a full 6kg left, and don't want to shell out £300 for refillable such as Gaslow or Gasit systems as it seems a huge expense for 12 months which we couldn't recoup.
If we ran out in Spain or Portugal, as we will over winter there, can we get the right attachments here in the uk before we leave? Our unit has a regulator attached to it, but thats all I know. The bottles are red. As well as Spain, Portugal and possibly Marocco we intend to be spending most of the time in Germany and France, but will spend 3 months or so wandering through Bosnia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Slovenia, Serbia and Romania with possibly Greece squeezed in, the latter countries being shorter visits than the first ones.
Has anybody any advice on which connectors and where to get them in the uk for the western european countries we intend to spend time in?
Aand then, in case we run out in Eastern Europe - any experience there? Or is it super easy to get the right fittings on the road? I have read things about pigtails, left threads, right threads etc but it makes no sense to us yet.
Thanks to anyone who 'knows'!!
