    Can anyone tell me if a 10kg Safefill bottle fit inside the front locker of a Coachman VIP 575?

    I've measured inside the locker and think it will fit but am slightly concerned with the height of the bottle

      KPH it's a squeeze in my Abbey but with the new S/S pigtail with hand wheel I can do it no problem.  I would struggle with a spanner if I still had that connection.

      Thanks for that Pippah I've always thought having to use a spanner was at the least a nuisance (putting it politely) 😇.

      Will put the hand wheel stainless steel pigtail on my shopping list.

      I'm sure you'll be fine KPH as long as you have measured it correctly. Yes, a spanner is a complete pain. I have one but can't remember the last time I used it! Same as the ramps which I removed from the van the other day - they are never used now I have my Lock'n' Level.

      As some of you know, I am looking at MH's and am surprised at the cramped dimensions of some gas lockers. Even if the lockers can take a bigger bottle, often the access hatch is smaller which means you can't get the thing in. Do they do it just  to save a few bob on a smaller size locker door?

      I'm going to buy a safefill bottle and would appreciate any advice please on any particular make of stainless steel braided propane pigtail with a hand wheel (as was kindly recommended by Pippah). After looking on google there seems to be soooooooo many!

      Thanks

      I can't remember the make of mine but I think it was just short of £20 or perhaps £30!  But it came from a gas supply shop in Lincoln.  I baulked at the www as I had recently bought a phoney fire blanket online.  Not only would it not have stopped a fire it would have made one a lot worse!  I spoke to a very nice lady in Trading Stanards at the time who told me she would never buy anything to do with safety online because the fakes are so clever.  Since I had also had two very near disasters with gas caused by incompetent approved dealership I went in person!  

      I am sure you will love the Safefill.

      Well I've taken the plunge and bought a 10Kg safefill and I can now answer my own question!!!

      Yes it will fit into the locker of a Coachman VIP 575 😬
