It’s the same as when you change the bigger bottles...find an outlet..I use Northern Caravans (Warrington)..get your bottle and exchange when empty (refill cost about £25 ish)

Is the gaslow one that you fill with LPG? Does it have to be fitted permanently to the van if you want to fill at a petrol station?
Gaslow Direct
To be honest i don't know i toyed with the idea of having one
but went for an under slung tank make unknown one thing i do know LPG is well cheap when you fill up
the last 2 years of use has cost about £10 so if you use a lot of gas gaslow system would probably pay for its self in a few years.
Underslung tank sounds ideal. Any pointers please?
There's another thread elsewhere on here discussing the high costs of Campingaz in general and full 907 cylinders in particular. In comparison, filling a Gaslow cylinder from a forecourt pump is very cheap and but you still need to buy all the kit to be able to do it. That might not be too bad until, as in my case, you factor in the cost of buying (and fitting if you don't DIY) a larger gas locker because the 'standard' 907 size locker is too small for even the smallest Gaslow cylinder. The lockers are not cheap on top of all the other stuff that you need to buy. I don’t know how that compares to an underslung tank though.

Umm..as I understood from my dealer they are and where available but limited stock ..but I found this on the net
Calor Lite cylinder update
LPG supplier Calor has provided some further information about its lightweight gas cylinders.
Calor Lite cylinders have been discontinued but a new lightweight cylinder is in development. The company has confirmed current Calor Lite users will be able to exchange their cylinders for new-style ones when they are released. This will be true even if a Lite cylinder has been exchanged for a standard 6kg gas cylinder in the meantime, as long as the customer has proof of purchase of the original Lite product.
Just tarka it down to the local pond & swap it for a full one.
Campingaz 907 Refill Prices
@Skyliner33 - when compared to the price of a 907 bottle, the screw in canisters (EN417 connection) you are using via your Cadac Powerpack can work out cost effective as you will usually find somewhere selling 6 of the 500 canisters (circa 450gram of gas in each which is roughly equivalent to the 2.72kg of gas in a 907) for as little as £20, eg. Coleman C500 Screw On Gas Cartridge x 6 Cartridge Multi Pack - Wow Camping
We use a combination of the onboard supply (907 in a locker) via gas point on the side of van and EN417 canisters via Cadac Powerpack as backup and/or if we want to cook further away from van. As above though, the bigger bottles and/or underslung refillable tanks will work out significantly cheaper than either using a 907 or canisters but we are restricted to 907 by the physical size of our gas locker.
Thanks
That's what i have get the bbq point as well its well worth it
Should I have got 2 burners with my Cadac? (a HP one and a LP?)
Ah, I have the Grillo Chef, it seems to work with both, just have to get the correct regulator.
