Yes 30 pound more than the gas is worth at todays putin prices. Still20e for a 907 here.

They are just exchange and rather like calor but even more expensive. But popular in France and spain so easy to swap ( good for a back up to a spare camping stove)

But where can you refill them? Decreasing numbers of lpg suppling forecourts, and some of those won’t allow refilling of cylinders, only under slung tanks.

Absolutely, but only if you actually CAN refill them. If some fuel stations won’t allow you to refill your Gaslow 907 equivalent cylinder then going to the expense of swapping to Gaslow is rather pointless. I’ve been looking into it, but so far have had no reasonable reassurance that I’ll be able to refill a Gaslow cylinder which must be removed from the van to refill.

Reply deleted to give it deeper thought as I'm getting myself confused between Gaslow, Gasit and Safefill systems.

This is what the op is asking about
They are not gaslow and not refillable ( legally)
The new gaslow refillable is an R67.as below

Gaslow R67 6kg Refillable Cylinder 1 with Level Gauge
The Gaslow R67 6kg Refillable Cylinder 1 is especially designed to meet the French R67 Gas Tank Standards. Gaslow have always held the view that the Gaslow Bottles are considered as "Cylinders" and therefore they are manfacturered to the cylinder standard EN1442:2006. Gaslow were not just alone...

if you don't think you can fill it don't buy one. I'm just stating it is an alternative. currently I have a 11kg Gaslow and 15kg calor butane to use up, normaly carry a 6kg calor as backup.
when i had a bongo the normal practice was use one or 2 907's. i found i could just fit a 4.5kg kg calor at half the price of a 907(and a 907 spare). To reduce cost try that route as an alternative, depends on space available. Gas availability a problem today!?

A 4.5 kg calor is around £14.50 for an exchange ,expensive for around 9 litres but still cheaper than camping Gaz.

I'm not sure how one would refill the Gaslow cylinder without having the body mounted filler fitting unless there's a connector available to enable one to connect the LPG gun to the Gaslow filler point on the cylinder.https://chorleybottlegas.co.uk/shop/campingaz-gas-cylinders/campingaz-r-907-refill

I know that there's a Safefill connector but would it work with a Gaslow cylinder?

Apologies for hijacking the thread.
We have a dilemma which hopefully you can help us with.
We pick up our new van in a few weeks. We plan, currently, to keep it for approx a year before our long overdue van arrives next May 2023. During the next 12 months we intend to spend long periods of time in Europe and we are aware of the gas bottle hassles from country to country.
From what we understand the incoming van takes 1 x 11kg and 1 x 6kg gas bottles and the long overdue van takes 1 x 907 Campingaz, it has diesel heating.
The options, as far as we are aware, are:
1. Go through the hassle of changing bottles and pigtails, bottle disposal or lugging the empties around with us. (Have I got that right?)
2. Fit a Gasit underslung system (don’t want refillable bottles). This is expensive and whilst I can take it with me the May 2023 van doesn’t need it.
3. Use 2 x 907 Campingaz bottles. Really expensive to exchange (£37.50 this weekend) but easy to exchange throughout Europe.
Are there any other options, if not what would you advise based on the above? As always many thanks

It’s entirely possible and very easy to refill 907s yourself, very safely, using a donor butane cylinder (NEVER propane).
As for legality, technically, with Calor and similar cylinders, the user never owns them, but is a contracted license holder. It would be a breach of the license to refill Calor cylinders, for example.
The difference with Camping Gaz cylinders is that the user owns them outright, rather than being a licensed holder (as with Calor et al) and there are consequently no license terms to breach. It is extremely easy to purchase all the necessary parts from UK LPG kit suppliers to make a safe transfer kit.
The process is no more unsafe than filling a car with petrol or refilling underslung LPG tanks at the station, as long as basic safety precautions are followed (i.e. the refilling is done outdoors with no source of ignition nearby and the correct measured mass of liquified gas for the recipient cylinder is transferred).
The cost of the assembled kit and the donor cylinder typically pays for itself after 2-3 fills.
In posting the above, I am stating what is possible but in no way encouraging others to do something with which they feel uncomfortable. All the necessary information and safety considerations are freely available online for those who might wish to search for themselves.

Just buy a French exchange bottle when you are in the eu .Someone posted recently that a 13 kg bottle was around 26 euros and 1 euro deposit from a French supermarket. Cheaper than refillables.

Off to France in a couple of weeks. To use a French bottle, will l need a different gas connection to my current UK propane connector?
