Newish van? How big is your gas locker

2019 Autotrail imala 615 room for 1-13kg and 1-6kg. we carry 2-6kg so leaves a bit of room to carry a small barbecue or gas ring.
 
2013 Autotrail Frontier 2 x 13kg but currently only 1 x 10kg Safefill and 1 x 6kg Calor Lite.
 
Benimar 264 . At the moment we have 2x6kg but hopefully swapping one for an 11kg soon.
 
2 x 11kg ?

With some makers only accounting within MIRO for one 6kg Calor Light, I'm interested to know how big the gas locker is. Even though payload issues might restrict you from using it.

So your locker is big enough for [2 x 13kg] or [1x 13kg + 1x 6kg] [2x 6kg] etc etc . Can you let me know..

Thanks

Poor old Jim

He quite clearly asked how big is the locker and what it could hold, not what you have fitted in it at your choice.

He also asked about 'newish' but maybe deliberately did not specify the years. However several answers did not even give the years of their models, so we do not know if they are 'newish'. As our MH is 16 years old I did not respond.

Being the Boss he can hardly criticise respondents, but I have [Not at Jim's behest]

Chausson 510 , 2016, 1x 13kg calor gas.( can only fit one calor gas cylinder of any
size in the gas locker)
We carry a spare 1x 13 kg in the boot.
Have a standard fitted diesel heater so that helps.
Just started carrying the 13kg spare.
13kg has so far lasted a 5 week trip to portugual,
but at least we can totally run out and finally find out how long it lasts, with the insurance of being able to change it.

Ellis’s Accordo 125.

2 x 6kg gas cylinders, water hose, electric hook up cable, 5 litre toilet fluid, gas bottle spanner, “pitch occupied” sign and dog stake in ours without problem.
 
Carthago chic c line 2018 gas locker has 2 x 13 Gaslow bottles in it.
 
2019 Globecar Campscout has locker big enough for 2 x 11kg Gaslow bottles.
 
2007 Swift Bolero 680FB - 2 x 6kg Gaslows. Don't think I could get anything bigger through the door no matter inside.

It's pathetic but we've got used to it and manage okay.

Quite jealous of some of the ones on here. Our 2017 Bailey Autograph will only take 2 x 6kg.☹

My Campscout revolution locker would take 2 x 13kg. We had an underslung tank fitted so now use it for storage
 
A lot of the modern hymers can fit 2 x 14kg alugas without the collars
Same circumference as the 11kg, just a bit taller. The 11kg are 600 mm tall with collar.
The 14kg are 680mm tall without collar.
That's only just over 3 inches taller.
I think the recent hymer miro includes 1 x 11kg aluminium bottle.

Globecar Summit 600 Plus - 1x 11kg & 1 x 5kg (German bottle size) which is less than some of the other Summit models but gives extra wide garage space & excellent compressor fridge (don't have to be level) so can't have it all! We have 10kg Safefill & German 5kg as back up for long trips but not carried for short ones.
 
2013 Hymer B690 Starline
2 x 13kg.
 
As you all know a Mobilvetta has not much payload but it still has a compartment for 2x13k gas bottles. Which I will be using on my trip both will be full oops. ??
