Is it possible to modify a caravan so it has a fixed gas tank similar to a car, then you can just fill up at a petrol station when you fill your car. Is it legal or even advisable to contemplate this mod.

   possibly illegal and definitely dangerous,i would think the fire service will close you down if they find out,lol

I would ask why you would want to? What advantage would there be. You can buy refillable cylinders, I think Gaslow sell them.

you can also go lighter if you want to carry more........

There is no reason why you cannot fit refillable cylinders as Klyne has suggested.  There are a couple of a suppliers - Gaslow being the most well known.  You would need a fixed inlet to fill these as most garages do not like cylinders being filled directly.  You should only use the correct cyliders as these have a valve to prevent them being filled over 80%,

There are a couple of threads on other forums that you may find useful.

Thank you Mike for that informative answer.
