Steve make sure you are actually changing from one bottle to the other if you are doing full refills. Its quite easy to overfill a bottle if you keep filling but never use, it defeats the 80% cut off. Run one out then switch to the other each time and you are fine. You probably know and do this but when you put full refill I thought I would mention itWe have 2 x 11kg Gaslow Bottles and filled both up at our last stop in Spain 2 weeks ago. We do a full refill whenever the first bottle drifts into the red zone, despite the twin reassurances of the 2nd bottle and the daily inverter use to heat water whenever the solar is generating enough energy

We do switch cylinders, Neil, alternating between the front and back after each refill; we also switch cylinders if we are pushing into the red zone deeply [mainly to avoid the fridge alarm going off in the middle of the night!]. I usually refill with 19-22kg of gas, so, even though the gauge says empty, there's around 2kg of gas left in the 'empty' bottle, which is consistent with the chart that Charlie at Autogas provided when he fitted the systemSteve make sure you are actually changing from one bottle to the other if you are doing full refills.

Forgot you had Charlie do them, he would have told you about making sure you cycle between cylinders, it’s one of his regular lecturesWe do switch cylinders, Neil, alternating between the front and back after each refill; we also switch cylinders if we are pushing into the red zone deeply [mainly to avoid the fridge alarm going off in the middle of the night!].

Stealthgas sounds like the 'silent but deadly' brand of flatulence ...Do be aware that if you have a stealth camper, you should fill up with StealthGas LPG.

Must say that the colour doesn't make it that stealthy, though.![]()
If you have space you can carry a Calor as a back up, there is a POL fitting that allows that, and it's how we use them.My mistake 11kg.
Do you mean the shell one or the one on the other sideSeamer Road Service Station in Scarborough might be closer than Kirkburn. We generally fill up at Asda in York (Monk's Cross) if we're passing.
