There are many of us now that have, through genuine interest, discovered that with the new technologies and the refillable gas cylinders that are now available, we no longer have to conform to the status quo. No longer are we held to ransom by the large LPG companies, no longer do we have to pay for the sacred bollard and carry an orange umbilical cord around with us. The new technologies like the mighty Solar Panel, better batteries, LED lighting and the refillable cylinders like gaslow and the game changer cylinder for Caravans- the Safefill cylinder provide all the power we need at a fraction of the cost. £5 a night sites are now a reality and not only that, they are a comfortable reality!  With low ampage heat pumps, low ampage televisions, USB chargeable toothbrushes, phones and tablets Bluetooth music consuming milliamps and other new innovations coming on stream from time to time, there has never been a better time to go non EHU. This thread is dedicated to those of us who have rejected the ever increasing cost of modern day caravanning and have sought a more simple, traditional but equally comfortable life whilst out in the great outdoors! Please, I ask everybody who has experience in this field to contribute to this thread so that others may see that it's not just a fad- it really is here and it's time to change.please add your experiences and expertise to this thread. It's no longer about 'Surviving' non EHU - it's about 'Thriving ' on non EHU!!

Yes I'm sure you do Micheal but try taking a Safefill cylinder to that same station! Fixed systems are fine it would appear but not cylinders.

Went into a Shell garage in Basingstoke this morning, spoke nicely to the young staff & filled up with no problem 🙂

That is very good news Dave- can you supply name and address of garage please? I wonder if it had anything to do with'young staff'. It's still very good news though.

Shell garage, 374 Worting Road, Basingstoke, RG22 5DZ

 

They did comment that they are more used to cars coming in for LPG but were quite happy to let me fill.
