Someone has mentioned that this thread, somewhere, says that gas bottles are now allowed on Eurotunnel. This is incorrect. Gas bottles for cooking stoves, etc., are allowed. This in from information from Eurotunnel's own website.
Gas used for domestic services
If travelling with a campervan, caravan or any other vehicle fitted with cooking facilities, any flammable gas container must be declared when asked and will be checked at the appropriate checkpoint by Eurotunnel Le Shuttle
Flammable gas containers may be transported with the following restrictions:
|
Maximum quantity allowed |
Maximum capacity |
|
Kg |
L |
% |
L |
| 1 portable container |
47 |
+/- 93 |

| Several portable containers |
50 |
+/- 99 |

| 1 fixed container |
47 |
+/- 93 |
80 |
+/- 73 |
| Several fixed containers |
50 |
+/- 99 |
80 |
+/- 79 |
In all cases, transport of gas containers to power domestic services (e.g. cooking, lighting & heating, etc.) are restricted as outlined below:
Portable gas containers (cylinders/bottles, etc.)
For the purposes of this text, this means cylinders/bottles containing flammable gas that can be moved from the vehicle for replacement or re-filling.
The quantity of gas is limited to 47kg (or approximately 93 litres) maximum for a single container and to 50kg (or approximately 99 litres) maximum in the case of several containers.
I hope this makes it quite clear the gas bottles are allowed.
However LPG powered vehicles cannot travel on Eurotunnel.

For those who plan to tour in Europe, with their cat, rather than with a dog, I suggest you don't assume that if it says in the site details, or in the ACSI or Camping Cheque guides, 'Pets allowed' it means cats are allowed. The wording in the site descriptions is very ambiguous, and may say something like 'Pets allowed, dogs only max 1 on a leash', which we always assumed meant that one dog was allowed, and needs to be kept on a lead but assumed it also meant other pets allowed, and that other pets didn't need a lead. On some sites this apparently means Pets allowed, but only dogs!
I would suggest, that it's always worth an email or a phone call to check. We found this out the day before yesterday, when arriving on a site on the Mediterranean, where we were told 'Sorry we only allow dogs, no cats'.
I don't know quite how this affects those travelling with parrots and ferrets (we've seen both recently!).
