gas lite question

Hi

A gas question, hoping someone can help. Does anyone in Southern Ireland use a Southern Calor lite patio gas, in a motorhome with a fixed regulator in the gas locker and if so what kind of connection (pigtail) do you use.
My locker is small so I cannot use a large cylinder and need a 6kg but can't use the usual regulator to connect as I already have one on the wall. Also I thought the patio gas is propane but a gas guy told me its a mix of propane and butane??. I have no cylinders and don't want to buy without checking it will work first.

Thanks

Anne

Hi Willie
I went to Woodies today and examined a patio lite 6kg bottle. It uses a clip on reg with a small button like bit in it (sorry, not very technical) My pigtail is a screw on one but the bottle top has no thread to screw onto.

Thanks so much.
I've been trying to sort this for a while. I bought a van set up for gas but it was never used and had no cylinders or cooker. i got the gas system checked and a screw on pigtail was added but this is for large propane bottles which wont fit in my locker. I can't get 6kg or 3.9 kg bottles in the South so patio lite gas is my only propane option. Id really like a 6kg lite & 3.9 kg bottle as i think thats what would have been supplied with the camper, its a UK model, but I would have to drive to the North to get them, which I may do yet. Long drive, also I think the connector would be different again . I plan on going to Scotland frequently, are the same bottles used in N Ireland and Scotland ?

I have a new hob and grill and a van ready to go but no gas! I'm mad to go too so would be very grateful for a solution.

Its a pity you are so far away, that would be a perfect solution. Do you sell the pigtail and could you post one to me? I'll be in Dublin at the weekend and could propably drive over the border to a calor or camping shop in Newry to get bottles. Its probably easier to get cocaine than propane

Thats great. i got your number from your website and I'll phone tomorrow to order the pigtail. I can then pick up bottles in Newry next weekend, I presume they are easy enough to get, or if not I'll get them in Scotland.

Thanks for the help.
