had a note to say that s.ireland has the same system as spain/portugal/s.france , so if you have that system you can use an irish bottle without buying any extra kit

The internal width of the gas locker on a bessie 560 is .........551mm oh:

 

[lebesset]

so , 551 less 256 for a calor cylinder [ according to their website ] seems to leave 295 for an energas bottle , which I think is probably ok ...JUST

will take a steel tape and get an exact measure next week when I go to town if that is soon enough for you

tap the door with a hammer maybe ?

in any case find that camping gas adaptor in case you need to use that instead of the calor propane

why not try seeing how thick a piece of wood or similar you can get between your 2 calor bottle and still close the door properly , then you will know exactly what can be done !

...

in any case find that camping gas adaptor....

Oh I wish..... I found a 907 with a single burner still attached but somewhere Doh there's a lamp fitting and the adaptor...........

Tried looking in the last place first....

 

[lebesset]

I find one of these useful ...don't cook onions or fish or other smellies inside the motorhome

 

[N Luyetund]

that's served to remind me to check and weigh the 907s... another 'little' job...

I might just about be ready for a week on Monday ...unless I lose the paper with the reminders on (that's the one that reminds me I've written down and put it .... somewhereoh:

well , been and done an exact measure of the energas cylinder

490mm high

BUT

303 mm diameter , because the bottom 3 com of the bottle is the stand , and about 6 cm in diameter greater than the bottle itself

 

[lebesset]

for anyone who is interested in using energas bottles from france , I notice today that my local intermache supermarket are advertising that the current price for the 10/9 Kg bottle is ....€1
with the gas at £1.35 Kg compared to calor's £3 or so a kilo could be worth a trip to france for the gas alone oh:

 

[vwalan]

got my bill today for the last lot of gas from calor 43.4pence a litre+vat at 5percent. lets call it 46p .so not worth going to france. the worst is they charge16.9p perday tank charge. never mind thats life. hopefully wont get anymore till next year.
cheers alan.
