New LPG Tank Installation

[terry111]

Hi
We have a 2018 Globecar Campscout with diesel heating and use 2 x 6KG propane for fridge and cooking. The Calor bottles are fine for 3 to 4 weeks but we are looking to travel overseas for longer and so a tank seems to be a possible solution.

I have contacted Autogas 2000 who have suggested a 30L underslung tank and to use 1 x 6Kg propane as a reserve. Cost will be around £1100.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

We have 2019 model of the same ! Charlie @autogas2000 fitted our underslung and we find we dont need the spare gas bottle in fact i cut out the gas locker completely and fitted my lithium and solar controller in there, if you need photos pm me, Andy

I bought the 38ltr underslung tank for my 2009 relay of Charlie and fitted it myself no probs at all.

Just get a 6kg gaslow refillable cylinder with a filler kit and a POl fitting from Hamiltons, it's in NI but free postage the POL allows you to use a Calor if the Gadlow runs out, its what we use and I've not needed the Calor yet.

It's bad planning if you use a 6kg before passing a garage with LPG even in Scotland.

I would fit a bigger tank, if there is space.

I don't suppose you have room for two Gaslow 11kg bottles?

I guess running a 12v compressor fridge mean I don't use a lot of gas at bit cooking and a bit heating
.I've never ever run out of it 13 years.

You'll get a shock to your wallet when it needs filling up.

Not everyone does Scotland in 2 days like you.

Some need to try harder though, still up here for another week yet.

Thanks but probably not. I think I'll go with the underslung tank from Autogas

A bigger shock when it needs replacing highest quote £1 500

I've not got why peeps have a big tank tbh, you end up using more, if you have more, we've been away a week and used 18l, but had the fire and oven on every night but one, topped up 3 times, may need another to get home.

How old is that tank then now.

 

[exwindsurfer]

That was the old tank the new one has been on since 2022 Christ I thought it was only last year lololol
The old one has been on since 2013 I think .
Before I fitted the new one I gave it two coats of grey primer three coats of stone chip and a coat of red paint + it has a huge alloy shield to protect it for stone chips.

I would put the £1100 towards going all electric.

16.4 Litres in 9 days, but 6 of those were at altitude where the air was a wee bitty fresh ...

I think you would have to put a lot more than 1100 quid to go all electric.Id think triple that .
