Latest Calor Press Release on Calor Lite

Likewise, I run a 10kg gaslight but smaller are available. Purchased a few years back at my local hire company and now exchanged at my local(ish) Flogas depot, reasonable cost at approx £32 per exchange, and nearly always on EHU so lasts a good 2/3 years.

In my previous motorhome I was able to accommodate a 10kgs Gaslight plus one Calor Lite. However the locker on my new motorhome is smaller and officially only accepts two 6 kgs Calor type cylinders. I have not yet tried the Gaslight as initially I thought it to big but will give it a go in the new year. I am almost resigned to the fact that I will have to change over some time to the heavy 6kgs Calor cylinder. I just wish that Calor made it easier to swap between the two types rather than Lite to heavy but not the other way round. I don't think I use enough gas in a year to warrant the installation of a refillable system.

Popped into the local Calor supplier today to exchange my Calor Lite!

He had nearly 100 in stock, and said the rest of their depots also had plenty!

I thought there was a shortage!

Wow - where?

(Visions of a stream of happy campers blocking their doors!)

Happy at paying £26-£28 for £7.50 worth of gas. It takes all sorts, I suppose.

I am almost resigned to the fact that I will have to change over some time to the heavy 6kgs Calor cylinder.

Why David? Are you a heavy user? 

On the surface that looks quite persuasive. However, if like a lot of people, including some motorhomers, who use about one gas cylinder a year to purchase the equivalent Safefill refillable cylinder it would take nearly 8 years to recoup the investment. How many of us know we will still be enjoying our hobby in eight years time?

With the amount of gas we use, and the initial cost of installation ,it will take many years to break even against calor cylinders ,we have two  calor light one in use and one on "standby", and am not expecting to need to change over  (unless long power outage on a site)untill the end of this year,it has been on since Jan 2019,and when a replacement is needed ,the nearest supplier is probably the site we are on at the time,,so as far as we are concerned there is never any other method that is attractive 

I like Alsorts

I don't think it is very likely we will recoupe the cost of the refillable system we had fitted in our MH, as we don't do enough off grid. However, it is very convenient. No more waiting for a cylinder to be empty before refilling. Plus we can park up and run the fridge without worrying about gas use. Also useful over there, as we would have been more wary of using non EHU Aires if we kept the Calor, in case we ran out. Taken as part of the cost of our brand new Hymer the extra was not that noticeable.
