Never understood the lure of Gravelines, went there once, thought it was crap, no desire to return there.

 

[WESTY66]

Nice and easy for a 7am departure

This is a great quiet parkup… no services! Stopped here a couple of weeks back after the drive from Pershore and tunnel… was knackered!

Thanks Brian but I’m now thinking possibly Germany is a better place for lpg? Lenny HB is always saying French stuff is a bit oily

Yes French gas can be very oily I wouldn't use it unless you have filters.
Belgium is the cheapest.

The french move very early especially if there is someone who comes round that they are expected to pay.

In Provence, if they want to move early, they provide croissants and coffee for all remaining on the aire.

It's so civilized down here

We stayed there with Harvey at their recommendation and thought it was brilliant.
Easy to get too, quiet and with a lovely dog walk. Supermarket with fuel just up the road.

Would use it again.

We've used French LPG (GPL) for yonks and never had any issues at all, when installing my Gaslow I always make sure that the pipes don't allow any residue to run into the regulator as we don't have any filters.

Last time I filled up in France after using one cylinder filter had about 6mm of oil in it.
I've met a few people have had fridge problems after filling on French gas chimney & jet soothed up..

Wben we bought our first Motorhome our Belgium dealer told us not to fill up on French gas it's dirty.

 

[Minxy]

All I can do is relate our own experience Lenny, we've used French gas since 2005 and never had any issues at all.

 

[WESTY66]

That’s good thenany tea and biscuits OFFERED?

Unfortunately not
