Gas adaptors for EU
Just gathering info really - but we'll be hopefully venturing straight into Europe with our new van (well - as soon as we can!), but obviously need to make provision for gas supplies.
I know that the UK is generally 'Calor', and the EU is 'something else', and I've just assumed that the EU uses 'CampingGaz' type cylinders and the simple spin-on fittings - is this correct? Or is it something different?
(I know nothing about gas plumbing, domestic or esoteric)
Follow-on question - I've read about people buying adaptors that simply serve as a bridge between the EU cylinder and the rest of the standard UK type fittings within the gas-locker, but I've not been able to find this adaptor to buy yet - has anyone got a link or can tell me exactly what product I'm looking for so I can google it??
one other related question - I've seen people use a small pen-style tool to gauge the level of gas in a bottle - what are these (and how do they work?) and can you still buy them??
thanks!
