I should add that I think they are a bit cheaper than Gaslow and you will get 5% discount for being a member of Wildcamping.

Ok, no problem, the first pic shows the external view with the filler point fitted into the skirt. The internal view shows it is a tight fit but you can get a twin 11kg system in. The third pic shows the top of the cylinder with the accurate gas level gauge. The same system is on eBay at the moment supplied by Autogas in Thirsk:
Alugas 2016 MV Lightweight Refillable Motorhome LPG Twin Cylinder Bottle Kit | eBay
There must be a mobile gas fitter in your locality who could install it, or have a trip to Yorkshire!

Yes, I've got the 'Gasit Plus' 22lt bottle with Standard 6kg bottle as reserve.
Great system, Look around, Don't forget there are mobile gas fitters that will come & fit whatever you want, 'Caravan Medic' is just one mobile service franchise country wide I believe. I called them out to do my Habitation, Gas & Appliance checks last year in Luton I believe it was !.

That's what I did, I went there with the intention of getting a steel cylinder kit but after "feeling" the weight of them both I went with the Alugas. Their red steel bottles are the same as Gasit. Great company to deal with.

You forgot to add ''in the UK''Barry.
Yes of course but i never take the Calor into Europe as its so easy to fill up the Gaslow, at least in the countries we frequent and I never stay more than a week in one place. A full one in summer in Europe can last six weeks.

my 22kg/44ltr gaslo system cost me £370 i filled up yesterday for the first time in 5weeks here in spain 33ltrs €21 two bottles exchanged in the uk would have been £50 at least , it's not just the economics of it though i am using the same bottles here that i did in italy, france, Portugal, and the u.k. no faffing about with connections/regulators etc a couple of adaptors and its just like filling the car when you get used to it ,

Refillable Gas
Hi
If you go down the refillable route be sure to invest in an external filler point. Many French and Italian garages will throw a wobbly if they see you start to open a gas locker to fill up.

So I'm guessing an external filling point wouldnt of been part of the costs of what i have had ? This would be extra would it? And would the same people who fit the gas be able to do that also?

They will be able to do that for you and it doesn't cost a lot more to have that option.
Just make sure you specify that you want an external filler cap when you order.

Sorry, meant to add that your fitter will be able to drill the skirt and fit the external point. Don't let him drill the gas door, there is not enough room.

The company that fitted my Gaslow fitted the filler on the side at no extra cost. Took him all of five minutes. Its right what has been said. All the problems reported in both the UK and mainland Europe regarding refusal to fill up have been from people opening Gas lockers. Ive still had a few come out and check and even one or two that tried to refuse me filling but when I showed them the filler on the side they backed down. Some people even put Autogas stickers on.

HOW MUCH ??????????? having a laugh....... What a shyster ....
Using refillables bottles involves having a new gas system installed in the van - by the likes of Gaslo or Gasit - two professional firms who change your Calor bottles over to LPG bottles which will enable you to fill up your gasbottles with LPG at petrol stations at much less than half the cost of exchanging calor bottles. Your dealer is taking the mick BIG TIME - just say NO .....
My gasit system cost about £400 .......
Use the standard bottles that are in the van for the time being.... its not an urgent thing you need to do right now.....

far too expensive...autogas 2000 fitted 2 11kg cylinders for less than half that, and now charges us 50p per litre. How can Calor justify their charge ?
