I have a friend with a Garage who does gas. He told me he was exxpecting a delibvery yesterday. However they only come in the 6.5kg size. He is not sure if they will be doing bigger bottles.
Incedently papajohn, nice to meet you at the show and exactly how many people does it take to fit wind deflectors?![]()

Ordered two for delivery Tuesday from Barnstaple depot. I was told the extra cost is because maintenance levels were higher (presumably because there is thinner steel (?)). Don't know anything about indicators. :Sad: I'll let you know when they get here.

I'm very interested in the new bottles which will be available next year. We currently have two 6Kg Calor bottles in our motorhome. When the Calor Lite bottles are available will we be able to choose them rather than conventional bottles when the time comes to replace empties? If we can choose Calor Lite bottles will we have to pay any extra deposit for them or will it just be a one for one swap?
Reply from Calor
You can replace them for the existing 6kg propane cylinder, and as long as you have a calor cylinder to swap in, you will just pay for the gas.

I have seen mention on a number of forums that the Calor Lite bottles are now on sale - which is useful as I shall need one soon.
However, there is also mention that they cost more than the old style bottles when an older style bottle is swapped in. This would seem to indicate that the cost is more than "you will just pay for the gas". Has there been a change of policy by Calor?

Please call 0800 662 663 from your landline, this will connect you to your local Calor centre. They will have the prices there.
Whether you have a 6kg cylinder or a 15kg butane cylinder, as long as it's a Calor bottle you will only pay the price for the gas, rather than paying another £29.99 deposit.
The old style (6kg) Is roughly £15.50 and the new lite one will be £18. This is due to the fact they cost more to manufacture and they have a gas track level indicator fitted.

Thank you for your prompt reply. If I have read it correctly there is an extra charge of £2.50 for a 6Kg bottle to cover the extra cost of manufacture and the level indicator (though I did understand from other sources that the initial batch of bottles do not have indicators fitted).
Does this mean that (assuming no other changes such as fluctuations in gas prices) when one, in future, swaps an empty Calor Lite bottle for a full one the charge will be roughly £15.50 rather than £18 because the extra £2.50 has already been paid?
I send a piccie - if I can work out / remember how:Blush:

Keith,
Took delivery of the two Calor cylinders on Tuesday afternoon. They are much lighter than the 'old' ones. I understand that they are supposed to be fitted with a level gauge / indicator; however, ours aren't. But they do have a very fetching picture of a caravan on them. Calor are charging more for them, but they are so much lighter and easier to handle that I think I'll put up with extra charge.
Piccie attached (I hope)
Wow! It worked.

From what I have heard they are £2 more for a refill and the first batch does not have the level gauge fitted.
I can not see what the fuss is about they are only 4.48kgs lighter.

Anyone who's a bit strapped for payload would appreciate a difference of 9kg. That's got to be about the weight of half a case of wine.![]()
