    If you are going to do a lot of 'off-grid' you may want to investigate refillable gas cylinders. They will save you 'loadsa money' over time.

    Hello and welcome to CT and our great hobby.

    Here's the link to the thread mentioned by ABM above. It's a long one 😉 but great info! Get yourself a cuppa and settle done for a good read through, not necessarily in one sitting 😂. Thrive without ehu

    Sadly the search facility in this site us abysmal 😤😤. I got rubbish results when I searched via the club but it came up 2nd down on Google 😂

    Enjoy your trips. If you have question ask, were generally a friendly bunch, and if, in the case of some info that's been discussed lots, we can generally point you in the direction of useful threads. You'll also discover lots of ways to do things, it's not a one size fits all. Watch and learn on sites too and don't be afraid to ask for help from fellow campers.
