Bavaria or Brittany ?

[witzend]

we have no solar panel or refillable gas, two things which almost seem obligatory reading this forum

Glad you had a enjoyable time an thanks for letting us know,
Solar I find useful if your not moving every few days and refillable gas is OK but I only use French or Spanish bottled gas which is cheaper than Calor and no problem to obtain bottles

do you pay in Germany ie are there toll roads

Toll roads are for commercial vehicles only, motorhomes and cars do not pay toll.

are the various connectors needed an issue
do you have the major outlay for bottle deposit like the UK

We ended up doing Normandy / Brittany based on we had aires book had previous experience in France, this is only our third euro trip so relative novices.
had a great time three weeks in aires paid for two nights total 15 euro
highlights d day beaches, Dinan and Honfleur
we have no solar panel or refillable gas, two things which almost seem obligitary reading this forum
however one 11kg bottle lasted the whole time showering and cooking each day
one small foldable solar panel kept our phones , tablets charged throughout so unsure of need of bigger panel
thanks to all for opinions / advice
will be looking for similar in feb when we hope to do Spain / Portugal 6 weeks this time

Sounds like a great trip

Thanks for that for some reason i thought cost was prohibitive, we left with full 13 kg and 11kg bottles in the gas cupboard and a 6kg in the wardrobe not knowing how much we would need, very pleased to return having used maybe 10 in total

Many thanks for the info
My wagon was originally German there is a connector on the end of this to connect to UK bottles
will this tubing fit directly onto french bottles or spanish bottles with the connector you have linked

 

[witzend]

That looks very much like the connector to screw directly onto a french or spanish bottle with the adaptor. If you have access to a 4.5 kg calor butane bottle try it on one if it fits its the right one.
