can you check for stockists in the next place you are camping? I always google local stockists for gas just in case my husband wasn't as accurate in his estimation of 'plenty left' as he thought!
My friends never did understand why I needed a spanner to make tea that time (gas went off mid kettle boil and we were off grid so I needed to change gas to keep fridge going).

Whilst I have a couple of Calorlites as back in the shed I changed over to a couple of 10 kg BP-lights as they hold much more gas and do so with a tare weight of 3.25 kgs, ie they are lighter than Lites. One of my better moves as I find these excellent to use, they feature a clip-on connector and competitively priced stock is readily available close to home for 10 kgs at much the same price as Calor want for their 6 kg Lites.
Being generally off EHU caravanners we get through much more gas than many do so need a better solution than Calor offer.7



Edit: on checking I find I had the BP light tare wrong, the one I have in the shed is 5.3 kgs.

I looked into changing to BP light last year but the base of their bottles is larger than Calor at 30cm and will not fit in the recess in our front locker. At the moment I am back to using two smaller calor steel bottles until the Calor Lite supply improves.

The Calor website states that there are still 100,000 that have not been returned under the recall, but how do they expect to get them back if they have no replacements in some areas?
