Chausson 640 titanium ultimate

[Jono]

Looking at this model and there is a lot to like about it. However, I am concerned that it has a small gas locker which only carries a 6kg cylinder. I am just wondering if anyone out there has any experience of coping with this, especially on a continental holiday? Any other comments would also be appreciate.

My Geist has space for continental sized gas cylinders. I can only fit 6kg Calor due to the diameter. But there's loads of vertical space, so an 11kg Gaslow refillable fits fine.

Firstly i have a 640 23 plate. I can confirm that i have installed an 11kg bottle with ease. As far as gas usage goes i have just filled up with gas… i used 2ltrs in 6 week touring. Obviously depends on how much you cook, we cooked most days.

We changed ours for a refillable LPG gaslow system and have never ever been short of gas . The fact that you are heating by diesel saves a lot . Btw just finished a 6 week trip in Europe and although we did top up the gas (only for the experience in a foreign country ) once we came back with at least half a bottle

Agreed 100%

I have a 640 first line and I have a 13Kg propane in mine. It was fitted by the dealer. Remember the van's heating is Diesel.

You could always consider an underslung tank and use the gas locker for additional stowage.
