Not same motorhome but this might help.
I have a Bessacarr E560, the locker is big enough for 2 6kg calor bottles, but not an 11kg Gaslow and 6kg bottle. So I have fitted an 11kg Gaslow and a 3.5kg Calor Propane Cylinder. The Calor is just in case I ever run out or to tide me over until i refill the gaslow. Benefit is less weight and a lighter cylinder to change at the dealers. Just how much gas do you need to carry before you see another refill point?

Good point.

I started with a 6k gaslow and a 6k calor.

After a two month tour of northern England and remote parts of Scotland, I found that I had only topped up the gaslow and the calor had remained unused. I was able to do this because of the frequency that we cme upon LPG outlets.

As soon as I got back I exchanged the calor for a 13k gaslow and still only just top up the one tank.

We have two 11k that replaced the two 13k calor cylinders. The space looked very small but they fit a treat.
On second bottles and the gauges still don't work. That said no cheaper way to buy gas.

Good luck

Hi Biglad,

But the space in the Voyager not only looks small, it IS small.

If you have a Swift s/d the gas door is only 270mm so not much help in getting an 11kg in as i said to kath swift need to increase door size to400x500 would make life easy for all. will look to see if can get a 6kg one here in, France.

Well thanks everyone for your help. We had the system fitted yesterday at Premier Motorhomes in Chichester West Sussex.

The best we could do was an 11kg in the locker. We will get a small 3.5 propane as a spare. Premier guys did an excellent job so thanks to Chris Sean and the team. Can thoroughly reccommend them. Reasonable price too.

Try again!
I looked up the price for 1 GPL bottle at ProAccecessories in France. The price is 692.50 Euros -for a 13 kilo bottle.
If anyone is coming down my way I will ask them to bring 100 x 6 kilo bottles as methinks there is a handsome profit to be made here somewhere!!
