Does anyone have an Elddis Autoquest 150?

[sydnsue]

The reason I am asking is because I need to know in advance of collecting what size Gaslow bottles will fit the locker. I asked this question on another forum and an owner told me he had fitted two 11kg bottles, but I mentioned this to the motorhome dealer and he states the locker will only take two 6kg. I am booked for Burton Bradstock so I only have 2 weeks from collection to get this fitted so I would like to order the kit in advance.

The locker is possible big enough to take 2 x 11kg .
However is door big enough to pass second bottle in once first one in place .
On our elddis auto few years back locker door was very small.

Just been in to a reliable motorhome garage and he measured up and is certain 2 x 11kg will fit. He is so certain that he has ordered them. He's only charging £100 installation so not worth getting my tools out.

that's not a bad price. saves you having to buy tools you will likely never use again (such as a 70mm hole saw )

Too late. I bought one ready to do it myself but changed my mind.

I had the Elddis 155 and like a previous post said the locker took 2 x 11kg bottles but the door is too small to allow an 11kg in. I removed the top of the box and lowered them in then replaced top of box. A lot of effort, especially as I had to move then replace the bed, but worth it in the end.

It would not be possible if the vents are the correct size and there was nothing in there to block them the bottles won't.

In case anyone else needs to know, the Autoquest 150 will take one 11kg and one 6kg Gaslow. Even though the locker is big enough to take two 11kg, it is not possible to get the 2nd bottle though the door. 25mm wider would have done it. I had the same issue with a previous Elddis even though it was a different locker. It seems ridiculous that the motorhome designers do not design the lockers to suit the bottles. Can they not measure the bottles? As an ex engineering designer, this is shoddy design. I don't think their designers give much thought to the real world.

Its a good compromise, I bought 2 x 11kg once ot worked out cheaper to fit a used but slightly bigger gas locker door than send one back and buy a 6kg.

I also favour one Calor and one refillable the best two bottle on cost grounds if you have a Calor already.

Still looking for a 6kg used refillable.
