Since 1996, had Elddis/Swift/Rapido/Rimor/Chausson MHs. Autocruise/Globecar PVCs/Compactline i-138
2010 Chausson Flash 04 - a single 11kg/13kg bottle.

2012 Autocruise Accent - supposed to take 2 x 6kg due to width of door aperture but with judicious use of a lump hammer I managed to 'squish' the base on our single 11kg Gaslow refillable and get it in!

2015 Globecar Familyscout L - it had a stupidly large gas locker which I put 2 x 11kg Gaslow refillables in without a problem but if I'd have the larger 14kg refillables they'd have gone in.

2018 Globecar Campscout - this had an even BIGGER gas locker and would easily have taken the same as the Familyscout and if they made 'chubbier' ones I'd probably have been able to get 2 x 20kg ones in!

2019 Carthago C-Compactline i-138 - similar size Campscout but with a bit more height so probably would take 2 x 14kg refillables; I've just put my 2 x 11kgs refillables in it.

Please for safety make sure the gas drop vents are clear and that any leaking gas can get past the 'junk' ... I don't like using plastic bags etc as they can allow gas to gather and sit in them rather than dissipate so if I do need to bag something I prefer netting/mesh bags.

Would hate to lose you Lenny! :*

It's big so they can fit the option slide out runners with a door in the side of the van
Ours has the separate door and slide out we have two 11KG Gasit refillables I would think we could get 14kgs in if we tried payload is really good on the B678DL ??
Good thing with the side door is you don’t have to unload the garage to get at the gas cylinders.?

You sure, what you after?

I think you know me better than that, big vent at the back all the junk is in the front.
... and the plastic etc bags ... do they have any 'vents' in them?

Only just, at a very uncomfortable squeeze, is there room for 2 x 13kg calor in our Carthago. Hence the change to 11kg's

I Make Schoolboy Errors!
No gas locker whatsoever. The Autotrail V-Line has an underslung thing somewhere.

If garages stop selling LPG at the pump I'm in a whole heap of trouble as nowhere to revert to even a single normal cylinder.

Low Profile - Globebus T7
2018 Dethleffs Globebus T7. 2 x 12.5 kg cylinders - each weighs around 26kg (12..5 kg gas + cylinder weight) so a total of 52kg plus fittings. Nb everyone seems to be just quoting the weight of the gas - not the actual weight of the gas + cylinder.
