I bought 2 from a Bricomarche a couple of years ago no problem. Bought the pigtail in UK before I went. Works well

We bought one in March 2016 at a filling station north of the Millau Bridge. Our MH at the time did not have a bulkhead regulator and we were using 2 x 6kg Calor which were getting very low and on our way home so bought this "just in case".

We had to buy the Le Cube together with the correct regulator, a length of rubber hose and Jubilee clips.

We managed to get home with the Calor bottles and never did fit the "Le Cube".

Our MH was written off later that year and the replacement MH had a bulkhead regulator so we sold the "Le Cube" to, if I remember correctly, another Funster.

Below is an image of what we sold...

Yes, I bought one from SuperU using the campsite address on the "contract". This was in 2019 .. my notes say 34E deposit 19.60 E gas they included a bottle top regulator. I had already had a 21.8mm double female hose and bottle connector which I had acquired from a Gas Engineer at home.

Can't remember what gas outlet, the 'Le Cube' has but, as an aside
the French Supermarkets also sell/rent larger bottles in the range
of 10kgs-13kgs.
These have the same outlet as the small UK Calor/Flogas 3.9Kgs 'dumpy' bottles.

They have a male 22.8 LHT Pol fitting and a UK butane pigtail fits perfectly.

I assume that is a typo for 21.8 LH

I have Gaslow 11kg and I have an old 37Mb regulator which screws directly onto the bottle.

If I needed a French or any other Country on the Continent exchangeable bottle are they all 21.8 LH

More a 'Foggo' than a typo but you are right. Thank you.
