However, when I lived in the area some years ago I used that seller (TentHireDirect) regularly and can vouch for them. They're an old established company quite near to J10 of the M6 so if you're passing they're always a good cheap source of all sizes of Calor bottle.

It is midway between my home and the storage site. It is also very close to a customer who I used to visit 50 years ago, before the Midlands link to the M6 had been completed. I also used to leave the M6 at J10 and rejoin at J7 when continuing to Coventry and the M1. Thanks to all who responded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTee Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I contacted TentHire Ltd aka a2zcamping.co.uk mentioned by several contributors, a week before a planned journey to south west London. I was assured that they had a number of Calorlites in stock and they were also expecting another delivery before the day of my proposed visit. Thanks to all who responded I now have a full Calorlite bottle alongside a part used bottle in the front locker of my caravan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David 38 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Looks like I'm not going to be able to get my BP gas lite cylinders in my new caravan locker :-( I have 2 of each Calor and Flogas steels 6 kg. Caravan takes one 6 kg and one smaller size than 6 kg. So seems I'm stuck with them unless Calor Lites are physically same size and its free to swap. Any ideas?

Calor lite are the same size as steel but hard to come by and most dealers will not allow you to swap at all, let alone free! They are now discontinued so are getting rarer, who knows when the planned replacement will arrive! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen and Les Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Well, how about this for a reason I was given about 2 weeks again when I phoned to check stock at my local supplier (CalorLite) - “Calor are not refilling them due to the weather conditions at the moment, phone again in 2 weeks”.

David 38 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I have been in my garden shed and I have 2 6kg. propane one full and one empty from Flogas. Also 2 6kg propane one full and one empty from Calor Now my caravan will take one 6kg and one 3.9kg. Have phoned Flogas and they are going to deliver me one 3.9kg in exchange for the empty 6kg just under £16 paid by CMC. Was very easy will I get same from Calor? Not sure what type of stockist to attempt, in past prices very variable sometimes higher than recommended price, and often difficult to swap gas or size. I got the refills for 6kg at a building trade place at a lot less cost than caravan places, its been a few years since I used these steels as I've been on BP gaslite, they not fit this caravan.

Glen and Les Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 After getting very negative replies about CalorLite availability from a major Calor agent not far from home, pleased to say we have been able to exchange like for like at Lydford Caravan Site, where we are currently staying. Price higher than we would normally pay, but not overly concerned. Hopefully Calor will have resolved the “lite” bottle issue by the time we next need one.

In the latest issue of the C&CC magazine, page 99, there is an update on the Calor Lite replacement cylinders. Calor explain that their research has concluded that there isn't great demand for Lite cylinders, especially caravans. Another factor is the growing popularity of fixed tank installations (and presumably refillables) and EHU. Therefore it is highly unlikely a new Lite cylinder will be produced. Calor are also seriously concerned about the illegal refilling and misuse of all gas cylinders which has added to the lack of supply as users keep hold of them. There are still some 25,000 Calor Lite cylinders in tock across the country. Don't shoot the messenger, I'm only reporting the article!

pigsfly Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) I have two Calor Lite cylinders that I have been trying to replace without any luck at all. So the news from LE . that Calor might not replace lite cylinder seems to have forced my hand, it looks like I will return the cylinders get my £7.50 each and head over to Flogas. I am still debating safe fill but they look to be a heavy cylinder, as they seem built to withstand a lot of handling much the same as an ordinary 6kg Calor kot pigs Edited April 19, 2019 by pigsfly typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
