I use very little gas also. 1kg would last me 20 nights away. I would not dream of having to go offsite with my only bottle of gas to find somewhere to refill. I carry two 3.9kg bottles of calor propane that I can usually replace easily on site.
I am away 120 nights a year and last year would have spent about £25 on gas. If buying same gas from pumps only cost me £8 it would take me around 10 years to break even. Not worth the effort of taking a bottle off site to fill for me

As has already been said Q, if you don't use much what's the point? A few years ago I believed all I was told and installed a full gaslow system on my motorhome. As I used a mixture of sites over a five year period, which included around 50 per cent wild camping, I found that when I downsized my van (no room for my gaslow kit) I was still out of pocket by a considerable sum. Your choice but do the sums first.

I dont use much gas but have a Safefill.
Reduces bottles from 2 to one and saves large amount of weight.
Fill it once a year for about £7 and can see when it is getting low as you can see the gas level.
Payback is about 7 years but weight saving and convenience is why I have it.

Posted on 20/04/2018 07:50 by cyberyachtIMHO the principle advantage of refillables is the ability to obtain gas whilst abroad. If you stick with Calor, a prolonged stay abroad could be problematic.
