No Calor Gas bottles

Bought a new Bailey Phoenix 440 and taking delivery next week. Dealer has no bottles due to national shortage at Calor. I'm a nearly-newbie (used to caravan 15 years ago) so I have no bottle.

I have been trying without success to find a bottle......what a strange time we live in! So new caravan and no gas.

I am in central Scotland so I'm hoping as we get out of lockdown I can go further afield and pick up a bottle somewhere then once I'm in the 'calor club' I can go and exchange it for a full one.

Until then, mains only......

Any ideas?

Not all at, you mean I'm waiting to see when you post? 

My sympathies, I've dealt with dyslexia and how help and/or to recognise it in a previous life and when I did using my for another's person's name wasn't on the list and you also usually write fluently and so well it is hard to detect with you? But times have changed and I would probably need re-training, so apologies.

DK, I am with you on this one. A Calor Lightweiight would last us for 2 years, maybe because the way we use our Caravan. Although we averaged over 100 days a year away. Except for a Barbeque most of our meals would be eaten out and a Take Away on a Saturday evening. It is our way of Caravaning life and enjoying ourselves. I am not saying it is the right way for everybody, but it is certainly a stress free way and doesn't entail using large quantities of gas or electric and with vey few chores in the Caravan. I repeat before I get chastised, our way of holidaying not for everyone.

Whilst always being on EHU does negate any advantage of a refillable due to the reduced LPG consumption I have noticed that, with ever increasing sizes of fridges/freezers in vans, the gas consumption, when used, is far more than "the old days". Equally the differential between a EHU pitch and a non- EHU pitch is usually around £15-£20 per night and that's a lot of 'leccy.
