The Hymer is now fitted with a refillable gas system comprising a removable nozzle, high pressure fill hose and lightweight Alugas 11kg refillable gas bottle. The whole job took us around about an hour excluding the drive to Wickes to buy the hole saw, and the time taken to view the ‘how-to’ videos on Youtube and to read the installation instructions on the Gaslow site.
We now have gas powered heating, hot water, gas driven fridge/freezer as well as gas for the cooking hob.
Filling with LPG after the installation was a bit stressful but we managed it without any mishaps and now have a half tank of LPG to play with, and I really do like the price. At 56pence per litre its less than half the price of a Calor refill, and there’s no ‘hard to get back’ deposit either.
The next step is to fit a second refillable gas bottle which would give us a capacity of 42 litres of propane so we should never run out of the stuff.
