No Calor Gas bottles

I don’t think they are ever likely to know. When we first bought a caravan and a couple of gas cylinders we had some paperwork from Calor. Not sure what happened to it. When we changed a cylinder it was just a swap and £20 / £25 poorer.

Can you get a 3.9 propane? As I am sure they are in the same exchange group? They also have the same connectivity. ;

We have a 6kg lite on at the moment and it has been on for two years now mi wish it would run out as I want to swop it for a 3.9,to save weight 

Seems LPG shortage/price situation is attracting thieves - how secure are yours?

Delighted we changed to this in the Summer.  Yes, more expensive, but in the grand scheme of costs not excessively so - and remember, propane is drived from oil, and we all know where that has gone !

OK if you don’t use much gas. However, at £7 per kg, as against £1.25 when I refilled the other day, expensive if you do.

You must be using some form of refillable bottle at that price.

£7 kilo for Gaslight 5KG isn't so bad against Calor 6KG at around £5.50 -if you can find one !

Earlier in the year, I spent a month in Scotland and used 21Kg of gas which cost me £29.75. That's 3.5 bottles of Calor which would work out at £100+ assuming you didn't give any residual LPG back to Calor.

It does of course depend on Gtrimmers usage. When we had a caravan we used very little, as in only for cooking. I would have been OK with those prices.

Now with a MH, moving on more and utilising the large fridge on gas when parked up, I’m glad we are not on Calor even in the UK and using our normal pattern of using mainly CAMC sites.

I assume much of that time was spent off grid with no EHU? We have spent about 35 nights away this year, all nights with EHU and if we have used a third of our 6kgs Calor bottle I would be surprised. I am not suggesting that refillable cylinders are not a good idea but for many they are not really a worthwhile investment if always using EHU. I have done several upgrades to my motorhome but refillable cylinders are not one I am seriously considering.

Thanks for looking. £80 seems like a lot though. The ones on ebay are all at least 70 miles away from me unfortunately.
