Motorhome & Campervan Refillable Gas Systems Fitting
Going solar so you’ll always have power in your motorhome or campervan is a positive step. However, making sure you don’t run out of LPG or propane gas is a different problem.
At Motorhome Workshop, we have the solution for you – a fitted refillable gas system, ideal for motorhomes and campervans:
-
- System fitted for you by our expert team.
- Simply top up and refill at Autogas supplied petrol stations.
- Easy and convenient.
- Refills work out around a third of the cost of buying a new bottle whenever you run out of gas.
Fitting refillable LPG tanks to your leisure vehicle means no more lugging heavy bottles around. It also makes it easier to travel off-grid without the fear of supply running out. Travelling in Europe also becomes more convenient without empty tanks to dispose of.
Underslung refillable LPG tanks are the ideal way to carry fuel safely on your travels without unsightly gas bottles. An underslung gas tank places your fuel outside of the vehicle somewhere it isn’t seen and doesn’t get in the way. This is something we recommend for van conversions, making the most of your available space!
We stock different motorhome gas system brands from Gas IT to Gaslow.

FAQs
What is the best gas bottle for a campervan?
The best gas bottle for a campervan depends on several factors including the type of usage, space available, and the specific needs of the campervan. Refillable gas bottles are the most popular due to their convenience and cost-effectiveness over time. They can be refilled at LPG stations, making them more economical and environmentally friendly compared to disposable cylinders.

What size gas bottle should I get for my motorhome?
The size of the gas tank for your motorhome depends on your usage and storage space. Common sizes range from 3kg to 13kg. For light usage, such as occasional cooking and heating, a 6kg bottle is suitable. For more extensive use, including longer trips or running multiple appliances, a larger bottle like a 13kg might be more appropriate. Always consider the weight and space available in your motorhome when selecting the size.

How long does a gas bottle last in a motorhome?
The duration a gas bottle lasts in a motorhome varies based on the size of the bottle and the rate of consumption. As a rough estimate, a 6kg bottle typically lasts about 2-3 weeks if used sparingly (e.g daily cooking and occasional heating). Heavy use, such as continuous heating or extensive cooking, can reduce this to about a week. To best know your needs, keep track of your gas usage during typical motorhome travel.

What gas bottles do motorhomes use?
Motorhomes typically use propane or butane gas bottles. Propane is more common in colder climates as it performs better at lower temperatures. Refillable options like Gaslow are widely used due to their convenience and cost-efficiency.
