Auto-Trail Switching from Underslung LPG to Bottles

[ianthelawyer]

I have a new Expedition 67 on order from Auto-Trail. However, dealership has just been notified that due to a shortage of underslung LPG tanks they are fitting a gas locker for two 4.5kg bottles (butane) instead. Dealer says that space in locker would not be enough for a Gaslow system (34cm). Any suggestions anyone as intend to travel to Europe and therefore Calor not going to work and will be expensive?

ianp They do normally yes but often a fairly limited capacity tank, so depending on the particular model of van you are often achieve a better capacity in the locker .

As far as I can see it's 22 cm. The gas bottle sits higher than the exhaust pipe. Will try to attach a photo. The gas tank is the orange one.
