HI i just picked up my new van on friday the dealer fitted a new propex as the origional heater was faulty they also filled the underslung gas tank i just wondered how much use you get out a full tank of lpg as we are off camping for three weeks it will mostly be for cooker and fridge although we usualy use hook up when we can so will run fridge of hook up when on site and should not need heater much at this time of year

We used £7.23 in 2 and 1/2 weeks in France last Summer and the fridge was on most of the time. I guess that translates as ~14 litres (of 22) in our Westy leisure tank. Buy the correct adaptors and you can fill up anywhere anyway.

We went away around Europe for three weeks last summer, used the two rings for the kettle, the fridge was on gas all the time whilst parked and we used the BBQ take off point for the Cadac at least once a day and still came back with over 30% remaining. Filling up tonight ready for Bus Stop Over on Saturday/sunday, should be under a tenner.
One piece of advice........make a habbit of turning off the main gas supply knob under the sink everytime you rest up the van. We had an incident end of last year where the fridge had been running on gas for over 2 months (with the door open I might add, to stop it smelling) the only reason I found that it had been on was a wet patch on the floor in front of the fridge doh! so learn from our mistake...turn it off!

HI thanks for the advice i have ordered the adaptors from gasure for filling the tank

Hi there got your order, they will be dispatched Friday, I think I recognise that van, was it bought from RCC recently, if so it came into us for a full LPG check and propex heater, am I right?
