The Demise of LPG

[@denhaagtrader8781]

Save LPG..my car runs on this and runs beautifully!!

[@MD-gx9kj]

John, like the majority of commenters on here, I also appreciate all the hard work that goes into making excellent and informative videos. I've been a follower for years and hope this doesn't make you stop - please don't!!🤞

[@rclancey]

Hi John, Many thanks for raising the awareness of this issue. Those with a vested interest in the survival of forecourt LPG (which includes those who produce refillable tanks and the manufacturers/builders that incorporate them into their vans) should focus their efforts on campaigning to improve its availability rather than attempting to silence those who are informing us about its sad demise. As an Autosleeper owner with an underslung LPG tank I have been concerned for a while about the difficulty in obtaining LPG and what I am going to do in the future. It concerns me that so many new vans from large companies are being sold with underslung tanks as a "feature" to naive consumers who are not aware of this. About time something was done !

[@gwynforj1]

Carry on John I found your video very helpful its a woory about gas for the leisure industry

[@scoobydesmondo]

Don’t give up John. I can’t afford a camper, so I live my dreams of van life through youtuder’s especially your channel. I look forward to your vlogs and wish you did more. I am a taxi driver, I’ve met thousands of people and can say most people can be nasty at times. That’s just a fact that will never change. IGNORE THEM. 😊

[@RedkjarRoamer513]

Thanks for your time, which is very precious John. Please please please do not stop. The loss of your vlog will be greater than you could imagine to the whole of our community. Illegitimi non carborundum! Take care.

[@MrSham61]

Don't loose the faith John, you're bigger, than listening to the weasels in our world. You're contribution is invaluable and respected.

[@ian_cole]

Hi John. It was a pleasure to meet you at NEC and it is really upsetting to hear about your experiences of the last few days. We really hope you will be able to ignore the idiots out there and appreciate that 99.99% of your viewers are not like that.

[@psspete]

You can never please everybody John. I for one appreciate your informative videos, and respect your knowledge. I have spent many hours watching and learning from your vast experience with electrics, and more recently, your unique van build. Don't be a sheep, keep treading your own path, and thank you for your content so far ....

[@TicketyBoo.]

Hi John. Personally I want to thank you for making us aware of what's happening. I actually gave up on LPG a year or so back due to supply issues. I have one independent supplier about a mile away who's about to close down, the next one is about 20 miles away. I've now gone lithium and solar with an induction hob for cooking, Costly to set up - yes but I'm now completely self sufficient. Maybe the answer is not to rely on forecourts but to encourage some of the larger dealers and camp sites to provide LPG fill points, after all they will have a captive market. There will be more than a few LPG storage tanks and pumps available as the forecourts abandon them. It might even convince me to dig out the refillable bottles again. Guess we just have to wait and see !

[@delcassie1337]

I totally agree with you, I have been saying for ages that the larger campsites should look at installing LPG refill points. Im sure if the big clubs did a survey the majority of both caravan and motorhome owners would say yes.

[@derekbull7386]

Take no notice of people that are jealous of your channel,your doing a great job keeping people up to date with the latest problems in the motorhome community,if some are unhappy,they can unsubscribe!!! Keep up the good work,and remember that we're subscribed to your channel,because we are interested,and enjoy your content.Derek.

[@davidmarek72]

Sorry you've had a tough few days John. Please keep up the informative videos if you can, we've learnt a lot from watching you, both van info and travels.

[@PK_Blinder]

I'm lucky that in my area I have 4 sites that sell LPG that are not petrol stations. The one I use mostly, use a tag system that allows 24hr access. Plus I have a big enough tank that I fill up every few months. And I am full time too. Good info 👍

[@GadgetJohn]

That’s a great service option, maybe an idea for others to do the same 👍🏻

[@Great-to-be]

John, you are a valued contributor to the motor homing and vanning community and I always look forward to watching your balanced and well researched posts. Sadly, some are hell bent on spreading their bigoted opinions onto others as they see it as unfair that they are miserable whilst others are happy. Bugger them all, carry on what you’re doing and rise above it. I’ve had a similar experience on an Owners Club where I spoke of the removal of LPG availability within garage forcourts and I too received a load of abuse one of which stated it was ‘false news’ and taken from ‘unreliable sources’….hmmm, my ‘unreliable sources’ include the ONS and Shell UK. People just seem to be in denial as it’s going to be all gone before too long. Perhaps not commercially but certainly for Joe Public….Simples.

[@GadgetJohn]

Strange that people think it’s not going on, even stranger when the messenger gets more grief than the companies causing the problem 🤬

[@robp9129]

John, you have contributed immensely on so many topics to our "community"; the snotty stupid people haven't. There are hundreds of people who are cleverer, smarter and better informed thanks to you sharing your knowledge and experiences. Just rise above the sh1te Bud.

[@crafter63]

In the past vlog, I mentioned putting the cat among the pigeons. My van is currently getting built, It's costing me ££££. I want information like yours, which allows me to make informed decisions about my long-term vanlife plans. Without healthy debates and discussions, I might make the wrong decisions. Keep up the great work John.

[@JamesWilliam70]

I'm also going through a build and I opted for underslung LPG, now I'm not so sure...

[@tomdonoghue5526]

Well done John keep up the good work you do,i don’t often comment but I feel you’ve had a bad deal,please please please don’t let them get under your skin remember there are more with you than against you thanks for all you do.😊

[@mikeainsworth5840]

Thank you John for the research you have done on this topic. I simply don't understand why you have received grief, to the point of a legal threat, for summarising what is a verifiable fact. Thank you for persisting and putting your neck on the line.

[@GadgetJohn]

My thought is the industry is trying to hide the facts, me reminding people of what’s coming means less sales for them.

[@mikeainsworth5840]

Trying to hide the facts from all interested parties; working on the principle that the fewer people that know, the fewer concerns will be raised until its too late and the axe falls

[@wheelersinthewild]

Hi John, I’m so sorry to hear your getting grief for making factual vlogs about LPG, I think you’re right the reason could be that the industry are trying to hide facts, please don’t let them stop you from doing what you’re great at the vast majority of us would miss your informative vlogs. I’m really concerned about this, we’re in the process of selling up to go fulltime in a motorhome, we will be upgrading from our camper van to a larger a class motorhome and would be relying on LPG for our heating and cooking, we watched a great vlog from Jon of Life Beyond Bricks on how much cheaper refillable gas is over electric, I have no idea what we’ll do if we can’t get LPG.

You are not a salesman, you give out sensible suggestions on all products you use. Please do not let the morons of the web stop you. You have enough going on in your life as it is at the moment. Keep your chin up and please give my best regards to you other half.

I'm a 65 Yr young lady with camper. I want to thank you and Mandy for giving me the courage to go out in the van with just me and 2 dogs. My hubby would rather be on a beach in the sun for 5 days than having as much time as he wants with van. Please don't stop the very much needed informative videos either of you. I didn't know about solar panels or batteries or eco loos or diesel heaters to mention a few topics you have covered. You would be greatly missed if you stopped.

[@LeisureBit]

Hi John, really sorry to hear you've had a load of hassle on your last video - we appreciate what you do and have learned lots and admire all of the great videos you've produced. Thank you - please don't give up - it's really helpful and great and everyone should do their own validation anyway on how anything applies to them and their specific circumstances and how it would impact them individually - the gift of google!

[@voyageadventurevans]

If you keep your LPG needs to cooking ( which it is really good at), and do everything else with either diesel or electric, then you should find that your gas fill is taken over a much longer span. Over the next few years, when you haven't got as much choice where you fill up, it won't be that inconvenient if you have to fill every couple of months and go out of your way a bit. On the other hand, if the fridge and heating are all gas, then you will be refilling every week and it will become a pain.

[@wheelersinthewild]

Hi Voyage Adventure Vans, thank you, that makes sense but the motorhome we’re interested in has Alde heating, running that on electric would be pretty expensive.

[@donbrown8001]

@@wheelersinthewild We have Alde heating and running it on gas is very expensive also. It can empty a 6kg calor bottle in less than 2 days

Far from being boring John, I found this a very interesting video. LPG is getting harder to get and will get harder, but will still be available (albeit not as easily and may take more planning). In this video you make that quite clear.

[@david_akerman]

​@@alanhat5252 Our rural house has a 2000 litre tank for heating and cooking, and typically a home will need that refilling annually. I wouldn't want to have to keep swapping the 47kg cylinders you mentioned; they wouldn't last very long!

So I can only imagine what you’ve been through but I hope this positive comment goes a small way to making up for the crap. Thank you again for all your hints tips and advice from a person hoping to start a build this year.

Keep up the good work you are doing, informing the community of what's happening in the future. It's a pity the 2 big Caravan Clubs aren't providing the information. I'm pleased I live in Portugal where LPG is freely available, indeed the apartment block I live in uses LPG for its gas supply. Keep up your excellent vlogs.

[@asdreww]

Thanks for the video. I still use LPG in my car and it will be a great shame to see it disappear. I thought with the introduction of the Dacia cars that run on LPG from the dealer/new, it would make a bit of a comeback as a clean alternative to EV

[@davidmoorfield4243]

Hi John, whilst the information you provided wasn’t music to my ears after splashing out on a refillable safefill bottle a few months back it was something I was totally unaware of. Unfortunately social media can be a cruel environment. For those unhappy with the news ,you have now provided an outlet for their frustrations. If we want to keep lpgs available it is down to the people to raise it to government not to harass you. Keep providing the great content and ensure you enjoy doing it. Thank you John.

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

Well said John. We have known this for over 12months. Don't understand why people don't know this as plenty videos of motorhomers struggling to find gas. As we are not full timers I have converted my cooking gas over to small canisters which are easy available and I can refill them myself. Keep up the good work. Cheers from old George and Jane

John Hi. Like you we run a channel that aims to help, inform and even guide folks through the minefield that is an alternative lifestyle. We dont comment on all you and Mandy's vids. But We do watch them. The reason we watch your channel is because we know that when making statements around these subjects you have done the research, evaluated the product or service, based on the information gained at source. That you take great care to ensure that the valued judgements that you give (for free) is accurate, based on facts that are readily available and have the benefit of your actual on the road experience. While not campers/van life people, our small traveling home we suffer the same issues; regarding the cost and availability of gas (LPG) and the cost per kilowatt hour of electricity provided from a pedestals, etc. (Sometimes this can be 10 times the domestic rate!! ) Cid and I fully support you, your channel and the excellent, invaluable and informative information given freely, to help others and pay it forward.

[@geoffcampbell7846]

Hi John, it's a great shame people don't pause for a moment and digest information before taking their anger about this, and other, events out on the messenger. Anyone with their eyes half open will have already picked up on the discussion about changes to LPG availability from 2 years ago. I'm absolutely happy to be part of a generous discussion about my leisure activities, especially when people bring serious issues to the community, and provide verifiable links to build on my knowledge if they have them. Threats of court action from a salesman are for the birds, idiots in motion mostly. Denying the facts would never get very far in court. KZbin trolls are usually just angry about their own inadequacies, and perpetuate their predicaments by not attempting to master the skills of critical thinking. We should pity them. As for the rest of us, I welcome the information you and others freely give out and I'm sure I've directly benefited on more than one occasion. So, don't be downhearted John, you have a massive following and most love what you and Mandy bring to this happy space. Press on John, you and Mandy are doing alright. 👏 👏👏 👋

If eejots see that they're getting under your skin it will only encourage them to do more so just ignore them. My local independent garage is keeping its LPG pump for the forseeable future - if chains like MFG close their LPG outlets it means more business/viability for it. The only aggravation is planning ahead to find LPG outlets and keeping topped up.

Thanks for the video, I totally agree with your analysis, in the process of moving to diesel for heating, and electric for cooking. The only thing I would say to the Petrol stations, is that when I buy LPG, I always fill up the diesel, so loose the LPG and you loose a Unique selling point that creates the potential for other sales.

[@denweston5941]

Keep doing what you do John. It is invaluable for people like myself. Im slowly converting a minibus into a camper and invested in a refillable lpg system but have not yet installed. Your video made me do my own investigation into the availability of lpg. Strangely the suppliers of refillable systems don't mention the decline of filling stations only point to sites who list stations who have lpg pumps. And quiet a few of those listed say lpg is currently unavailable. One of the big refillable system suppliers make a big deal they have installed a pump at one of their sites. Great if you live near Lougborough!! I can't afford to invest in lithium batteries yet so the alternative options you provided in your video have made me rethink my setup.

Sad to hear that. In Poland we have roughly 3 mln LPG running vehicles on the road,and you can get Lpg literally at every one gas station in the country (7000 stations). Right now 50% of yearly lpg volume comes from Russia (1.2 mln tonnes out of 2.5 mln) but with UE LPG ban on the horizon -Lpg prices could go up drastically( right now 1L of lpg is 60 % less than 1 L of gas/petrol)

I purchased a new campervan last yr which has an underslung tank not realising that it was a problem. Please don’t get disheartened, most of us appreciate the information and will pass it on to others who might be interested. Incidentally I my previous house all heating and cooking was done with LPG we had a large tank in the garden.

Thanks for the information John, it allows people to seek solutions . Don't stop making your blogs, for every foolish person there is also an appreciative person too.

Yet another really excellent factual video John. I, like so many others, have relied on your honesty and integrity for a number of years and I don't think that you have ever let us down. A product may work really well for a period of time but you are not afraid of informing us when some unexpected fault suddenly appears. When full-timing we cannot, or in my view should not, rely on just one source of energy and a mix of electricity and gas provides us with the alternative that we need when one of them fails, especially in winter. The information that you provided on LPG was based on fact and it has helped us to consider the options for the future. Personally I believe that even if the garages stop selling LPG then an alternative source of supply will emerge to meet the demand, perhaps not as widespread but accessible. Today I paid £0.79/litre for LPG but I would be quite happy to pay £1.00/litre because it is a fantastic source of energy for cooking and in an emergency for heating. You have over 30,000 subscribers that support you.

It seems nowadays we get bad news on a monthly even weekly basis, there will probably be a way round the LPG issue in due course but as we have a new motorhome on order with an on board LPG tank thank you for bringing it to my attention. I watch all of your and Mandy's videos and always will. Thanks John.

John please Do NOT GIVE UP. Try to Ignore them and not let them stop you from doing what you do so well. I want to thank you for raise the awareness about LPG. I did my own research after your previous blog and found various references to LPG being phased out by 2024 by various providers. My campervans’s underslung lpg tank needs a 10 year inspection and potentially replacing. I am now going to consider alternatives. I also looked into the various size Calour Gas are to discontinued as I have some at home for my BBQ. They still will offer a large range of options and say that they are consolidating their range. I was lucky as they aren’t disconnecting the size I have. You obviously hit a contentious issue with your previous vlog but please please keep making your interesting and informative vlogs. Take care Kx

John please don’t allow the ‘Ostrich’ minority to spoil it for the majority of us, your subscribers. Those name-callers are afraid of the facts you have shown us and I’m sure they are concerned about their futures, but they are extremely unprofessional, in my book, to resort to being rude & hurtful towards you, or anyone who may challenge them. You have helped us & guided us many times with your honest & informative Vlogs. Please, please rise above these challenging times & keep your channel running the way only you can. Love to you both xx

Hi John I total agree with you. We are a van with a LPG under tank and am very worried moving forward to how to fill it. Don’t let negativity comments get you down John. Keep up the good work.
