Connecting to French gas
Hi, we are going skiing in a couple of weeks in our weinsberg Cara loft. Last year we bought the big gas bottles from the supermache and a lovely man on the moho park lent me his connector and rigged us up. I need to buy the correct pipe and connector for this year but am struggling to find the right thing to buy.
Can anyone please point us in the right direction

Phone 01509 377377 and speak to the Gaslow people in Loughborough. Tell them what sort of cylinder you intend to buy in France and they will sell you an adaptor to fit.

When i had my Autocruise Sunnindale ,i did the change over at a French hypermarket,with the help of one of their assistants.I changed to 'Le Cube' complete with the regulator,pipework etc purchased from the store..This all came with paperwork and covering certification.

I have use Hamilton Gas quite a bit for hoses and connectors. If you know the name of the cylinder why not do an internet search which should show you the items required?

I have used Hamilton Gas, excellent service and advice, got these to connect a Spanish Repsol bottle to my existing POL fitting and Truma regulator

The UK Gas Light (formerly BP Light) clip-on connector is compatible with Le Cube French cylinders.

Just had an email back from Antargaz to confirm that their light weight Calyso 10kg bottle uses a 27mm clip on connector. They show it on their web sites but do not state the size) Gaslow thought it was a 20mm clip on and i have just emailed them the information from Antargaz so they can tell people the correct one

That’s helpful. Antargaz cylinders are widely available in France.

However, their Calypso 10 kgs are Butane, despite being coloured red.
It will be essential to use Propane for a sking holiday, as hopefully then the weather will be far too cold for butane to gas off adequately.
The same 27 mm clip-on, if you get the vertical take off as opposed to swquat horizontal version of this connecter, also fits the Le Cube. If I recall these are propane but check that out first.
