FWIW, I can't get anything bigger than 6kg propane in my gas locker. I probably use only a couple of cylinders a year (so £48 at today's prices) whereas a Gaslow system costs over £600 and even a Gasit system costs around £300. Also, I have nowhere to fit the fill point other than inside the gas locker and I've seen motorhomes refused service at autogas stations because they had to open the gas locker to refill. So, I'd probably be looking at a break-even point of six to seven years on a twenty-year-old van -- and I can get Calor cylinders all over UK. To be honest, the only way that a refillable system would make sense for me would be if I planned an extended trip overseas -- but then I spent best part of six weeks in France and the Netherlands a couple of years ago and still had half a cylinder of propane when I got back.If you can only get in small bottles then going for refillable system makes even more financial sense - assuming you use a fair bit of gas of course.
Pay back always based on individual consumption but calor 6-7 kg cost is getting on for 5x autogas.
Whereas 13-15 is 'only' 3x - so almost good value
