We are just about to off to the Isle of Wight and Cornwall - seenig and staying with family. Would really like to take the van - rang the only place I could find on the IOW -Vecta Warm and wait for it......
72ppl I think that's a winner!!
Now reconsidering taking the van
Does anyone know anywhere else on the isleand? Also anyone got any advice as to where to fill on route to Wadebridge? (I know there are a few around there, but don't see much on the A30)
Thanks

last time i was on the "pile o "pooh"" there was only the one lpg station, and it was dear then too....... fill up at lymington ( if you are crossing lymington - yarmouth) just by the railway bridge, cheap too, when it was 38ppl everywhere else it was 33ppl there.......pity you wont be going up as far as bistol - to fill up at cribs causeway on the M5 J17 , cheapest place on the M5.

Thanks for that - We are crossing over from Lymington so will do that. We are coming back to Portsmouth though, but I think it's pretty standard around there.
We will be coming back up via Bristol so will venture into Cribbs Causway - is it those filling stations by the shopping centre?
It all looks a bit sparse from Portsmouth to Exeter - any ideas- we don't mind which way. Longer the better in my view as we are going to stay with my in-laws !
Cheers

SatNav!! Why no.. I have a map or route master and a good memory.. Round here in deepest darkest Wales it would either send me up a lane where I would meet some large vehicle coming the other way and we would be stuck for a fortnight (The poor old van has got a great big new battle scar down the side where the other half went round the corner and slid along a huge wagon taking up the whole road ... or if I used it for work visiting clients I would get totally lost as the post codes don't cover streets but fields and remote house names.
I must admit I did long for one last week when me and out 6 year old went down to Poole and I ended up following general signs for the sort of Yeovil area through Bristol city centre and she was no good at reading the map!! She was very good at talking all the way though
It moght be another thing to add to my wish list though!

I was thinking more in terms of using it for finding lpg stations. The LPG sations can be downloaded onto your SatNav and are displayed. No matter where you are, or where you are going you would be able to display all the LPG stations in the area, pick one, and then get the satnav to take you there.

I have only been gassed for a couple of weeks "Thanks Steve at Gasure" its wonderful. I find this website http://www.go-autogas.com/ and its map invaluable, I search each county I am driving through find the cheapest stations (not always up to date but fairly accurate) and if they are on my route or not too far off then they're used to top up. You can save the cost of the map on one fill up. No sat nav here my missus loves map reading

Niffy - my attitude exactly on SatNav - and I collect/create the data that is used in them there systems......
......however - the one thing that has made me see some value in one is this very issue. Finding LPG stations. They can be out of the way industrial estates, farms and obscurley named petrol stations. Unless you have access to better in van mapping than me then they can be difficult to find.
I am on the lookout for a £50 sat nav with the capability to upload POIs and (West Euro mapping. SOmeone mentioned Navigo so am off to see what I can find.....

You should start to see a reduction in price of at least 2p/ltr as bulk gas and oil prices start to fall, LPG in North Wales went up to 56p/ltr it has now dropped to 52p/ltr and should be back to sub 50p/ltr in the next week or two.
