Calor Gas Discontinued. Underslung LPG Tank the solution? What are the options?
In this video, we'll take a look at the recent news that Calor Gas has discontinued their smaller gas bottles, and what the options are for campervan, motorhome and camping enthusiasts who rely on these products. We'll also discuss the latest rumour regarding Campingaz, is this true? Surely this would have an even greater impact, especially for those who travel into Europe and campers!
The news from Calor Gas is "From 1st February 2023, the Cube, 3.9kg Propane, 4.5kg Butane, 6Lite Propane and 12kg Butane will be discontinued."
There are other options and I will discuss them here.
Is Flogas the answer?
Who else has heard the Campingaz RUMOUR ?
Have you considered a Underslung LPG tank? Could this be your best option in the long term?
Your onboard gas locker on your VW Transporter Campervan or Motorhome may be too small for a bigger bottle, therefore you may need to look at other options.
I personally have used Campingaz for many years and it would be a shame to see it discontinued in the UK as it's such a compact easy to transport portable gas bottle. Albeit more expensive than other options.

The @Staycation Lifestyle van conversion is coming along nicely.
I bought a VW Transporter T6 Kombi Highline van 140bhp diesel SWB with tailgate.
Slowly turning it into a camper van / day van with bed. I will also need something for cooking, cooling, sleeping, drinking ?? Choices to be made.
I have lots more to do though, I have a new electrical system, using Victron components and a Lithium LIFEPO4 battery, so I obviously need to install some power devices. I have a new sound system, with Focal speakers and ibus 2.1 amp, Playstation PS4, which will be removable, TV's on headrests.
Lots for me to look forward too and it would be nice to take you on the journey.
Please do let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions.
Vanlife for me is just beginning, it's a great adventure and I'm loving it. 😍
