Hi I am going to a hosted site in Spain in Feb 2023. Our motorhome only as gas heater and hot water so will need to make sure I can get gas. We are planning on taking only one bottle and then sort a Spanish version once there, I have bought the pigtail adaptor and the adaptor for the Spanish bottle as reccommended by Gaslow. I am assuming I can by a 6K bottle quite easily from the site in Spain. Any advice on this or on any other issues?

Hi,
Agree a rare find is a 6k bottle in Spain as gas is so cheap for the normal 12/13k. Usually a 1/3rd or 1/4 of UK price as regulated pricing.
We sourced a s/h Repsol Propano 13 kg in UK prior & regulator type bottle fitting (Google) which we use on journey down & back (we always return with a new full one) and easily exchange in Spain when needed. Am off to Repsol garage in an hour to do just that !
Normal, unless on an upmarket expensive site, to only have basic 6Amp ehu so cheap gas used often.
Often sites have some hefty deposit arrangement for first bottle which might not assist you if Touring around.
Enjoy your trip.

NB Our Caravan takes two 6 or 13 bottles in locker. Needs a longer pipe to juggle the bigger Repsol 13 in situ.
