Looking for some advice please.
The campervan we are considering purchasing has a gas locker fitted out to take 2x 6kg gas bottles, with a fitted butane/propane regulator and propane hose. Researching gas options and it looks like the obvious answer is the standard Calor 6kg propane bottles, which I can get from a local supplier. However, I’ve also found that Flogas do similar 6kg propane bottles and also do Gaslight bottles in either 5kg or 10kg. Initial queries:
1) Any difference between the Calor and Flogas 6kg propane bottles that I should be aware of? I’m assuming the gas itself is exactly the same. Do they use the same regulator / hose?
2) The Flogas Gaslight bottles look ideal to me. Bit pricier but I like the fact they are lighter and also translucent so you can see the volume of gas that remains. However, I’m not sure if they would fit (my assumption is that the 5kg might fit but the 10kg would not) and also unsure if the regulator / hose is the same as the Calor 6kg propane bottles use. So, any advice from Flogas Gaslight users appreciated too.
Not at this point interested in refillables such as Gaslow, might look at that later if our trips become longer and more frequent. For now, the exchange bottles will be fine.
Thanks.
