Hi everyone. I introduced myself a month or so ago. We have decided to buy a IH Savannah Gold from the converter. It is an absolute bargain. We are really pleased and very excited. ::bigsmile:

I need advice about the LPG. I have had lots of quotes and for a Propane 3.9kg the price is coming out at £45 ish with no exchange bottle. However I have found one company in Walsall called Tents Direct who sell it for £20 with no exchange. I have even phoned them to make sure this is correct and he said it is. What does everyone think? I have always believed if it seems too good to be true then it is. :Confused:

Thanks in advance

Chris

Is it Tenthire Direct (105A Edward Street Walsall), rather than Tents Direct Chris?

If so then some of their eBay offers specify that exchange or bottle deposit is required and some don't. Given that their prices seem to be the national ones which Calor specify for exchange bottles I would guess that the guy you spoke to has made a mistake or misunderstood.

Having said that, as Terry says, if they are willing to honour that price go for it :Smile:

If you're a member of your local Freecycle, you could always ask on that.
Some people have them sitting in sheds, garages etc..
