Which refillable cylinder and what do I need ?

[Speedie]

Depends on the regulator the one in my van is over 200 quid

Not sure to be honest on what type it is - It has a standard calor setup at the moment ( a 6kg bottle ) which I want to keep so I can have dual use - Calor Propane to remain and Refillable single cylinder possibly a 11kg as it will fit and heating / cooking runs on gas irrespective of hookup . Lighting / TV / Fridge / Water pump etc all on electric.
All in all I want to ensure that I always have plenty of gas at the right price and if abroad can top up without too many issues. If I buy calor refills I don't think they will provide best value going forwards.

Thanks

Personally I went for an underslung 38 litres tank fitted by Autogas 2000 in Thursk who put the filler point on the rear skirt along with a BBQ point ,and it frees up the gas locker for storage

Our first van has Stako bottles same or similar to Gas it. It was and outside locker so after a few year the powder coating flaked off and the bottom of the cylinders went a bit rusty.
Since then always had Alugas.

No issue at all with the paint on my GasIt tank and it was just bolted to the ribs under the van floor with only a couple of coats of underseal paint as additional protection (as per the install instructions)

I recently fitted an 11kg Gaslow cylinder with a T to an existing calor so I have the option of buying gas if I can't find LPG.
Fitting the external fill point was quite straight forward by drilling the skirt (toolstation has the right hole saw diameter for about £6) and filing a couple of notches to stop it rotating. Then another smaller hole into the gas locker for the fill pipe. The scary part is drilling the skirt but it wasn't too bad in the end. The job took about 30-60 mins. Unfortuanately I forgot to take pictures otherwise I would have published a guide.
Gaslow are quite heavy so check payload and not the cheapest bits of kit.
