When Should We Meet?
If you meet up with fellow campervan and motorhome owners, one of the hot topics is whether to invest in having a refillable gas tank. Here at Sussex Campervans we were ahead of the trend and began fitting refillable LPG tanks to our campervans at the end of 2017.
It was part of our fantastic new ‘SX Upgrade’ – a thorough re-working of all the electrical, gas and solar systems on Sussex Campervans, bringing them not just up-to-date, but ahead of our rivals.
As MD Daniel Lopez says, “It makes quite a difference. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never liked gas bottles. I’ve never liked having to deal with them, I’ve never liked wondering if they’re full or empty, I’ve always been a bit concerned about securing them and making sure that the connection is done up properly. I don’t think I’m alone – I think most people feel that way.”
Thanks to the gas gauge on the clearly marked control panel inside the campervans, it’s really easy to see how much gas is left in the tank for heating and cooking. In the past most people used to end up taking a spare Calor gas bottle with them on their camping holidays, just in case one bottle ran out. But with the refillable LPG tank mounted securely underneath the campervan, our Sussex Campervan owners can easily top up the gas tank before each trip, or whenever required. Watch Daniel’s video introduction to the new campervan electrics, solar and gas systems in Sussex Campervans – the SX Upgrade!
NV200 CamperCar owners Ken and Carol have filmed Ken topping up the LPG tank on their little red campervan. You can watch Refilling the camper LPG tank on their YouTube channel, Life is too short.
"Okay, I Love the Idea... But Where Can I Buy LPG for My Campervan?"
In the UK most LPG stockists have an Autogas LPG pump. They tend to be in the garages on main A-roads and in motorway service stations. For many people the easiest way to find LPG for sale is to ask Google for ‘LPG stockists near me’, having first allowed GPS to know your location, on a smartphone, tablet or laptop. There are also various websites listing LPG stockists both for campervans’ refillable LPG tanks and as fuel for some dual-fuel car engines. For instance, Drive LPG says there are more than 1400 outlets selling LPG across the UK. However we find FillLPG.co.uk and LPGStations.com more frequently up-to-date source of Autogas LPG stockists for refilling the campervan tanks. If in doubt, phone the garage before you go, to ask if they have an LPG pump.

This Autogas LPG pump I spotted at the Hickstead Shell Garage (see below) has some useful instructions printed on the front
When the pump clicks it means the tank is full – do not try to squeeze more in, because gas needs a little expansion space within the tank
