Serious consequences for smaller campervans and caravans...

"Calor Retail Stockists will receive individual communication on this as the letters are due to hit later this week.

Changes to our cylinder range

From 1st February 2023 the following cylinders will be discontinued: Cube, 3.9kg Propane, 4.5kg Butane, 6Lite Propane and 12kg Butane cylinders.

Why have we done this?

Improving our cylinder service is a priority. Our existing range of cylinders is creating complexity within our supply chain. This means longer change over times and reduced filling capacity on high volume key sizes. That’s why we’ve taken the difficult decision to reduce our cylinder range, simplifying the business.

We realise this change will affect customers that rely on these sizes, but we know these changes are necessary to significantly improve our cylinder service.

Suitable Alternatives

There are suitable alternatives to these cylinder sizes within our range, or within the Campingaz range. For example, customers looking for a 3.9kg Propane can be offered a 6kg Propane, and those looking for a 4.5kg Butane offered a 7kg Butane.

For more information on suitable alternatives and safely changing the regulator, visit www.calor.co.uk/cylinder-range-faq      "

Just look up Flogas stockists near you and go and talk to them - instead of asking the Club do the legwork for you.

I thought this was a community group? Popping off to flogas stockists is your offer of advice. Others may have a different opinion. Nothing wrong with asking for help and weighing up the options.

The advice euror gave was very appropriate and, after 47 replies, showing little or no alternative, appears even more so.

I have spoken to fellow campers who were totally unaware that Calor was not the only gas cylinder supplier, indeed some thought the contents of their cylinder was "Calor Gas" rather than Propane, and one or two have even come back to say thanks.

Calor is simply a cylinder brand-others are available and often cheaper.

Quite right👍ETs suggestion is correct but abrasive. If members don't want to help, then go do something useful.

OH popped into our local Calor Gas agency (it’s a very big one) this morning. They only found out about the withdrawal of the 3.9kg cyclinders last week, via information from Calor, so are not best pleased. They had been experiencing a lack of refilled smaller cylinders for some time, so had an inkling something was happening, but it was only confirmed last week. We have a 6kg cyclinder in caravan, so OH is going to see if he can fit it in. If not, we shall have to look at something else. LPG isn’t hard to get at the moment around us, so some research needed.
