I'm a newbie
Sorry to be such a numpty but I hope someone can explain (slowly, using small words)
I have my gas running from a UK gas bottle/uk regulator, 37mbar
I will be needing to switch permenantly to French gas bottles.
Do I keep the uk regulator and put some kind of adaptor onthe end to fit the French bottles OR do I switch over to a French regulator, which brings me nicely to part 2 of my question.
If I need to buy a French regulator, are they 37 mbar so therefore a straightforward swap.I think any of the big diy stores will stock them.
If I need an adaptor where can I buy one of these?
Thanks for your help

>12 but <13
l found to my joy that the standard regulator which fits the 4.5kg Calor bottle also fits most French bottles
I now have 2 x 10kg butane which cost 20€50 plus 1€ deposit from Intermarche. Total Gaz also fit, the 15 kg at 34€ also fits but is 5€ deposit.
Most newer Motorhomes have a fixed regulator which requires a pigtail to connect bottle (21.8 LH thread) to the regulator. If you use a separate regulator, then the Calor one mentioned will connect.
Hope this was helpful and now you can concentrate on the trip.
Bon Voyage
