Ciao fellow campers. Am contemplating having a fixed LPG tank fitted. Some people told me to have one with aluminium tanks fitted as they are a lot lighter. Can anyone recommend a good installer in East Midlands area please. Many thanx

I suggest calling Autogas 2000 and see if they can recommend someone. They are a leading manufacturer of these systems. Based in Thirsk.
Again, Dave Newell. :)

Autogas 2000 did mine. We stayed on the premises on the Sunday night and they did the fitting on Monday. They took us to the station and then we spent the day in York to be picked up and then shown how it works. Back to Derbyshire for a late tea.
Great service and product

Why not go to Thirsk, they'll fit it in a day, I lived there for 40 years. Lots to do,great Wetherspoons, and Harry Lees (butchers) have best pork pies in the world. long walks on the flatts down by Cod beck.
They are actually in Carlton Minniott but just a miles walk past the race course into town.

Supply and fit, they don't manufacture.
Edit: Chris does make custom tank supports

We've just had twin Alugas refillable tanks fitted by Chris Wise and his team at Autogas 2000. Cracking job, I'll post pics later. Not only that but SWMBO had an excellent kip at one corner of his yard (in the van!) while I had a lovely walk over the fields behind. Just don't make the mistake I did and turn into his neighbour's drive. I did manage to get seven and a half meters of motorhome turned round between his neighbour's cars without going onto his lawn, a tribute more to the Sprinter's turning circle than my prowess as a MH driver....

Agreed..really helpfull and watched couple of other fittings being done while SWMBO had her kip. All same quality friendly helpful approach. You won't go far wrong with Chris

Conrad Anderson again.
Fitted a gas tank to our first M/H, several years ago now, but did a good job.
We stayed in their yard overnight.

The FillLPG web site says "Currently 1174 confirmed stations." and the map shows that coverage is pretty good in populated areas.
Depending on circumstances we sometimes fill up at a local garage as we return from or set off on a trip but often we just top up as we pass a station en route. On our last couple of longish trips we have filled up on the way home en route because we happened to be passing a station.

There are still many lpg suppliers and the art of having refillable cylinders is to top-up before you get too low when you pass a supply. There are also phone apps which give details of lpg retailers .... so no problem, just convenience and lower price gas.(y)

Just a thought but as I would find it embarrassing to top up just a tenners worth of petrol do you get the same feeling with maybe just a fivers worth of gas? :cautious:

Edit: I'm thinking of the bloke who queued for two hours during the great petrol crisis a few years back and managed to get 9p into his tank. :LOL:

There have been a few times when we've topped up around £7 worth of gas but I don't think we've been as low as a fiver :) It wouldn't bother me though if it was somewhere we were passing and not sure of the next place :)

I agree with Graham (GJH), we have sometimes only put a few £'s worth in but as I have a digital led in-cab gauge usually start looking for a top-up when getting down to half full.
