Who is right?
Yorkshire coast caravans told me my gas bottle is leaking, they are addament it is the botle and not the pigtail, but Calor have checked the bottle and say the bottle is Not leaking
do I buy a new pigtail my-self even though I havn't had the caravan a year

Leaking from where on the gas bottle? If from where the pig tail connects, this can often be caused by overtightening. If the pigtail is damaged in that manner, I doubt it would be covered by the warranty. however, they are not very expensive.

If you're wanting a new pigtail under warranty get the Calor response in writing and then speak to them again.

Spend £29 on a gaslow pigtail and get on with your caravanning, it will be leaking where the pigtail joins the bottle, because manufacturers will fit the cheapest crapiest pigtail they can get away with.

I wouldn't bother. Having experienced a similar response from this company in the past, is why I bought from a dealer in Bawtry and travel there and back for servicing and warranty work as opposed to using this outfit on my doorstep.

haha.....i had (osmosis?) got this idea that the OP was stuggling with a butane hose, rather than a propane one (although the post says neither specifically)....so offered useful advice about butane hose washers so etimes going missing or getting compromised
through sloppy fitting.....and then i realised there was no mention at all of a butane hose....hence speedy retraction...
however, of by some weird chance ot is a butane hose causing said problem, my 'advice' above may be of some (indirect) use...
strange thing osmosis.....and the drink last night
well it was really hot here on this lovely THS at Wareham...

Actually our Swift van was supplied new with a stainless steel pigtail. Which is far from being the cheapest. Unfortunately it wasn't POL at the bottle end, so we had to replace it anyway.

Cloudy and relatively cool here in Yeovil, but suits me at the moment.
yes, a marked difference today....but sat out in shorts for coffee, so not too bad....
just stolling in the town yesterday, the Purrbecl flyer disgorges its passengers as we pass....immediately, a couple say hello...amazingly, we had parked next to them on the ile de re and again, last year (purely coincidently) at this very gathering two
years ago...not only that, a guy just strolled by me with a 'trademark hat' that i could have sworn was you.....
small world, i though...

you could have bought a butane-to-propane adaptor.....might have been cheaper and allowed retention of the s/s hose...

On balance I would think Calor is right. They would be sending the bottle back out and would never risk using a faulty one. I cannot understand why a dealer would deliberately give you the wrong information though as it would not benefit them and could rebound
on them badly if the wrong advice caused a fire. Sounds like it was not checked properley.0 -

large crowd has just moved over to the next door rugby field where a yellow rescue helicopter has just landed....
...an emergency?.....an exercise?....more news later..possibly
update....the rugby field is a convenient point for the helicopter to pick up and transfer a patient who has just arrived by ambulance....
