for reasons that are not clear to me many uk manufactured motorhomes seem to have small gas lockers ..unable to take a standard european sized bottle , 13Kg butane /11 Kg propane
now in france a slightly smaller size bottle has made an appearance , the most widely available is energas , an own brand of intermarche
instead of the standard 300mm diameter it is 270mm , and slightly reduced in height at 500mm approx.
this bottle contains either 10Kg of butane or 9Kg of propane
whether or not his would help with the gas locker size problem I cannot say , but post in case it is of interest to anyone
for the moment there is a deposit on the bottle ....€1 !
my local intermarche sells at €16.50 for either butane or propane
on the subject of fitment , for 25 years I have used only the same thread ...you probably know it as the 4.5Kg calor butane thread ....it is widely available in mainland europe , france , germany , spain [ with the available adaptor ] for example ; energas , of course , uses this thread ; it means that whether you want to use butane or propane you only need one regulator or one tail
so wherever I go I can just put on a local bottle if I so wish
the energas price is a little cheaper per Kg than normal , I understand that casino are going to do the same product under their own brand , so , as the bottles will go back to the same filling station , they will probably swop them
