Campervan & Motorhome Underslung Refillable LPG Installation

Upgrade your motorhome or campervan with a professionally installed, underslung refillable LPG system from Motorhome Workshop. Based in our AWS-approved workshop in West Sussex, our ACOPS-qualified technicians provide a safe, compliant, and convenient underslung lpg tank fitting service. Move away from the hassle of exchangeable gas bottles and embrace a modern, integrated solution that gives you more space, saves you money, and simplifies your travels.

An underslung lpg tank is the ultimate solution for storing gas for your gas appliances, including heating, cooking, and refrigeration needs. By mounting the tank securely to the chassis underneath your vehicle, you can free up valuable locker space and remove the need to handle those heavy and awkward gas bottles.

The Benefits of an Underslung Refillable LPG Tank

Choosing an underslung lpg tank installation brings a wealth of advantages for any leisure vehicle owner, revolutionising how you manage your onboard gas supply:

• More Space, Less Weight: Say goodbye to bulky gas bottles taking up precious storage space inside your vehicle. An underslung gas tank campervan installation places the tank externally and out of sight, freeing up lockers for your essential travel gear. It also provides better weight distribution for improved vehicle handling.
• Cost-Effective and Convenient: LPG Autogas is significantly cheaper to buy per litre than gas from exchangeable bottles. Refilling gas is as simple as filling up with petrol or diesel and is available at thousands of Autogas service stations across the UK and Europe. There’s no more lifting heavy bottles or worrying about returning a cylinder that still has gas in it.
• Travel with Ease: Our professionally installed systems are fully compliant with safety regulations, including those required for Eurotunnel travel. With a refillable system and a set of European adaptors, you can travel confidently across the continent without the added stress of sourcing compatible gas bottles in different countries.
• Safe and Secure: Safety is always our top priority. That’s why the tanks we install are robust, protected from road debris in line with N.C.C. CoP 306 regulations, and feature automatic 80% cut-off valves to prevent overfilling. All fittings are rigorously tested to ensure a leak-free and secure system.

Underslung Refillable LPG Tank Installation: FAQs

Is an Underslung LPG Tank Better Than Exchangeable Gas Bottles? 

For most users, yes. Underslung tanks save a significant amount of space and are far cheaper to refill. The convenience of topping up at a fuel forecourt, rather than finding a supplier for exchange bottles (especially abroad), makes them a superior choice for frequent travellers.

Are Underslung Gas Tanks Safe? 

Absolutely. When professionally installed, they are extremely safe. Our tanks are fitted with safety valves, an 80% fill cut-off system to prevent overfilling, and are securely mounted to the vehicle’s chassis. The entire system is also tested for leaks and certified upon completion.

Can I Travel on the Eurotunnel With an Underslung LPG Tank? 

Yes. Professionally installed fixed LPG tanks are permitted for travel on the Eurotunnel, provided they are no more than 80% full. Our systems include a fuel gauge, making it easy to verify your gas level before you travel.

Can I Refill My Tank Anywhere in Europe? 

Yes, LPG (or Autogas) is widely available across Europe. You will need a set of filler adaptors to connect to the different pump nozzles used in various countries, which we can supply and explain how to use.

How Long Does Underslung LPG Tank Installation Take? 

A typical underslung lpg tank installation for a motorhome or caravan takes between 6-8 hours. We can confirm the exact timeframe for your specific vehicle when you make a booking.

Can You Install a Tank on My Specific Campervan or Motorhome? 

We can install underslung tanks on most popular makes and models of motorhomes and van conversions, including Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, Citroën Relay, VW Transporter, and Mercedes Sprinter. We use vehicle-specific brackets to ensure a perfect fit.

Why Shouldn’t I Install an Underslung LPG Tank Myself? 

Working with pressurised gas systems requires specialist knowledge, tools, and certification. A professional, certified installation ensures the system is safe, compliant with regulations, and will not void your vehicle’s insurance. Our two-year workmanship guarantee provides an additional layer of security and value.
