Hi everyone
Please forgive and Oldie Newbie for this; probably a perennial question already asked and answered a zillion times. I’m 5 weeks into a potter through France/Spain and now Portugal and the inevitable has happened. 13Kg Calor has run dry leaving with a ‘dumpy’ propane and the dreaded 907 CampingGaz standby.
I know I should have opted for fitting a GasLo system but the uncertainty of being up to a long trip after so many years and the expense put me off (Wrong there on both counts!).
Hoping to stay away for at least another 6 weeks so:
(1) Do any gas refill operations refill Calor in Portugal/Spain any more? – My route – such as it can be called a route – takes me down to Lisbon then across to Marseilles and hopefully glorious Florence.
(2) It is possible/worth buying local 13Kg full cylinder and regulator?
Finally all compliments to the acclaimed All The Aires France & Spain/Portugal. Many hundreds of pounds saved by these two little books. I’ve just sent an addition to the Editors. Figueira Da Foz, where I arrived last weekend, is a pleasant town and has just about the longest/widest beach I have seen. And at the end of the beach a parking area capable of holding 100+ vans. Only about 15 of us now but last weekend over 30 – only one British registered campervan so far though.
Anyhow thanks in advance for any advice on gas niggle.
