Just cost me £32 for 2.75 kg of butane. A camping gaz 907 is the only thing that fits in my van but to make matters worse I gave them back 0.75 kg because I needed a full bottle for Silverstone .l don't use much gas and mostly rely on a solar panel but CampingGaz make Dick Turpin look like a benevolent gentleman. Anyone with a campervan got a better solution ?

Please note
For safety reasons gas cylinders supplying gas to the caravan should not be used from a cylinder outside of the gas locker when on site, (static caravans have there own regulations)
kind regards, Ken
The only risk from an external cylinder is of it toppling over, something which I have never seen or heard of happening in more than 35 years caravanning. There is a ruling on CC sites for seasonal pitches but otherwise it is acceptable.

At home I have the very large and tall cylinder - that could fall over quite easily but you wouldn't want to move around with that one. I have occasionally seen the mid size calor outside caravans - and they look safe enough even if against the rules. NOT that I would take a risk with gas myself. My large Safefill fits in the locker and is strapped in.

Good Lord Bob what are you doing??? Any chance of a modification to accommodate a larger cylinder? £32 for 2.5kg? Ah, now I remember why I got rid of Gaz completely - robbing s**s. It makes it worse as you say because you gave them some back which a quick calc takes it over £40! WOW! Cheaper gas is here for the caravanner and motorhomer thanks to the work of Safefill, Gaslow etc. I'm not you mate but if I were I would be looking elsewhere and cutting costs and not just by a little bit!

No chance of a modification to get a bigger bottle in, I'd have to sacrifice beer storage space..To put it into perspective I only pay about 30 quid a year for gas and everything else runs off the solar panel so it's costing peanuts but it still irks me to know I'm being shafted by Gaz

£29.99 for a 907 refill at GoOutdoors.
Write your comments here... Unfortunately that would be a 60mile round trip.The only good thing about Gaz is that you can get it everywhere you go..
Several GO between Cumbria and Silverstone. Stoke, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Coventry.
Plus as you say, lots of other outlets.
