Small pitches and poor access "over there?"

I cannot understand some people, wants a lighter gas bottle to save weight but would just add more rubbish if they had more weight to hand. Lighter bottle to save what 5kg but would through a 30kg motor mover on the van or even air conditioning unit on the roof or a sat dish. Go through everything in the van and you could probably throw out more stuff that you never use and then keep the gas bottle you already have. Simples.

Or just carry the bottle in the car.

What is the normal size of a CC Ltd hard standing JVB (or anyone else)?  How many metres by how many metres?

Depends how up to date the site is, I was "advised" by our GP (a caravaner) that  i should have at my age and medical condition a motor mover fitted to our caravan,in all the sites we have visited i have used it the max five times to assist with pitching ,and have not ,as some seem to need, , anything other space than the site road to get on the pitch, so the majority  must ( if capable) be plenty big enough to get onto

I choose a couple of 3.9kg bottles ot to save weight but because they are lighter, smaller and easier to take in and out of front locker. I doubt that I am alone

Based upon that non-answer I'm confident that you haven't got a clue.  Let me help you out.  The average is just 60 square metres.  That is 8m long x 7.5 m wide.

Really? how many use their cars to "top up" safefills or when going to change their calor or other make of cylinder, ,the only "madness" is if is not upright

Surely I don’t have to spell it out again! It's so obviously a safety issue as common sense dictates. Gases are considered Class 2 dangerous goods.

A few hundred yards to exchange/top up vs 200 miles on the motorway at max legal speed - nah, no difference there!

People carrying gas bottles in their car run risks and should check their insurance policies.
