LPG Eurotunnel (1 Viewer)

Hi, would like some advice please. Going on the Eurotunnel shortly. Finding lots of useful information on this site. Thank you very much. Have got 2 full fixed 6 kg bottles that's all the cupboard holds. Is it ok to take an extra 6 kg bottle and carry it inside the motorhome?

Dunno, but we've just done 5 weeks and didn't make much inroad into our 11g tank. You don't use much just for cooking and a bit of hot water.

Thanks for the info does that include running a fridge?

We have always taken a spare French 15kg bottle with us without any problem.

The regulations say you can take up to 50kg.

As Brian said, though, you might be surprised how little you use.

A lot of the time we were on hookup so it was on electric. We do like good hot showers so end up on campsites a lot. Pretty expensive showers I guess.

We have one Gaslow 11kg tank, so just about no problem on LPG supply.

The other side of the storey, that tank lasts about 3 days without hookup in the winter. The central heating is the killer, obviously.

We have 2 x 11 kg Gaslow bottles and rarely, if ever, hook up. In summer, in France and Italy, we have not used one full bottle yet on a trip (usually 2 -3 weeks) and LPG is for cooking, fridge and hot water - and a bit of barbecuing). In May we spent 3 weeks in Scotland without hookup and used just over 1 bottle - 26 litres I think - for cooking, fridge, hot water and quite a bit of heating (it was 'parky' up there most of the time).

Abroad, we use aires more than campsites so rely on the van's shower too.

French Gas Bottle

Is there an equivalent 6kg French gas bottle and roughly how much do they cost, please

We bought one last year while there, you have to have a French regulator as well , the whole thing was about £25 , I think, but you just hook it up to rubber pipe and away you go, refills are far cheaper, we still have it and will take it back with us this year

Thank you for that. I think that's the answer. It sounds from your experiences that I will have enough gas anyway and if I do run out will buy a French one.
