No you are most definitely not allowed to turn the gas back on.
Sonestas post is written with regards to what you can do whilst waiting to be loaded on to the train.

Right now I´m having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I´ve forgotten this before.

...............You do have a guy stop you to check your gas bottles are turned off but if you use LPG to run your habitation area that is defintitely NOT a problem,

Ok. So they have checked the gas is turned off.

Are you then allowed to turn it back on again??
Oops sorry autostratus, I may have misinformed you all a bit there and all the gas and passports checks are done AFTER you have been to the car park waiting area and you are on your way down to board the train???? We didn't make a hot drink in the motorhome oursleves but whilst in the waiting area car park there is nothing to stop you from doing so from what I could see. The gas and passport checks are done once your departure has been announced and you are on the way down to the train and not before as I may have indicated in my original post!
Hope this clarifies things for everyone?

luck of the draw probably. They moaned about 2x10kg bp gaslights but relented. If your lpg tank is 60 odd l then I suspect they wont be happy.
We used to use them a lot but since they messed us around so badly in 2005 (as reported in another post ) we will never use them again. I can do without the numpties making us hang about for 4 hours as we missed our booked time by 5 mins. Then to take us all the way to the train to tell us again there was no room ! All this at 3 AM .
We arrived at ten pm in the eve and finally got to france at 8 am the following day after no sleep. Never ever again. I agree with the poster who uses the Sea France freedom fares, you can change on the day while you are still driving. This makes for a much more relaxed drive. I guess if you live less than about 30 miles from the thing its great but if you have a 250 mile+ drive there with all the associated traffic problems not so good...

I find that remark a bit offensive. When we travelled over earlier this year, at the times we wanted to travel Seafrance was £76, Norfolklines was £106, and the tunnel was £126, I wouldn't call saving £50 pennypinching. We are not as fortunate as some as we don't have a Tesco within a reasonable distance.

I just got a quote today for interest
7.2M motorhome out 21Mar 08 early back 39 Mar 08 early am
1) Norfolk lines £84
2) Sea france (with MHF discount) £109
3) P and O £118
4) Eurotunnel £239 !!!
You are going to have to spend several thousand quid in tescos to cover that difference

We do not have a Tesco nearby so I can't collect the vouchers but at £124 for Eurotunnel (in June-July 2007) and your £109 or £118 quotes for ferries I will stick by my earlier remark about pennypinching v's comfort.
SidT, sorry if your are so easily offended.

We have a Tesco close by but do not shop there we don't like the layout!
But we do use a Tesco Credit card for EVERY purchase anywhere; Fuel, Food Shops (Asda), Dinner out etc etc. Our spend has so far given us our impending Ski crossing free and our summer crossng free but had to pay for dog £30.
As long as you clear the balance monthly there are no downsides - This tip came from Rapide 591 - cheers Russ
Tesco vouchers Brilliant!!
Euro tunnel Free - Even Better!!!!!!
