Hi we are thinking of changing from a caravan to a motor home but the majority of them use on board lpg tanks instead of bottles. I am slightly concerned as to the availability of places to fill up as the tank only holds around 25 litres which is equivalent to 2 Calor bottles. Has anyone got thoughts or had problems getting gas. Thanks any help appreciated.

Thanks for all replies. We have to have a van conversion as access to our parking is very tight so working on that most van conversion are fitted with the under slung tank to save storage in the van. My first choice if I could find one would be one refillable bottle and one Calor but that is highly unlikely so could have to settle for under slung. Kevin

As you want a PVC, I recommend you check out the AutoSleeper forum link I posted earlier. You will find discussions about the AS PVCs as well as threads about LPG.

Our Globecar could have had one refillable cylinder and one calor if we had wanted. As I said up thread we went with refillable only, two of them. If you are going down the road of exchange cylinders in a pvc then check there is the space to get them in and out easily. Will you have to empty out other stuff to get to them?
