No Calor Gas bottles

Seem to be a lot on eBay, have you tried gumtree etc? You might be lucky. 

Loads of SafeFill's about.

You could try FloGas.    https://www.flogas.co.uk/

Is that maybe because there is less and less places to fill them?!!

There was not a shortage  of calor at the site where we store our c/van

I have had Calorlite since 2011 and over this time seen reports on shortages and a total lack of replacement of the bottles. Before the most recent lockdown I askd at my local dealer about a new bottle for the summer and they said I might be in luck, but could not guarantee it.

When the time comes I and I cannot replace I will go Flogas. The bottles are near as dammit the same size and weight.

Thanks all, great welcoming advice! Will try flogas once I pick up the van and am sure of the regulator fittings.

a lot of gas bottles have been turned into chimneas for 

the back garden

was it duncans in wishaw you got your bailey from ?

A Safefill refillable is the way to go. It's much lighter than a steel Calor, particularly now that Calorlite are discontinued. A worthwhile point given that payloads on caravans are pretty minuscule. For comparison purposes, A refill 6Kg of Calor will cost you around £25. The same amount of refillable will cost between £5 - £8 depending where you fill up. Add in the "rental" of a new cylinder at about £40+ and the initial cost of a refillable that "you" own starts to look very attractive. Additionally, you can get gas whilst abroad which you can't do with Calor.

Go Electric, if you are not going off grid make use of the EHU, not such a daft idea, you will have paid for it in your pitch fee, only use gas normally for the BBQ
