    Tyre pressures - do what the Swift handbook says.

    Gas - use it or lose it. There are no refunds.

    As Euro says.

    Normal tyres run at around 65 but camper tyres much higher around 80 and give a hideously harsh ride.

    Almost everyone has TWO gas bottles so that they can have a full one ready when they use up the last 1/4. One can take out a rental agreement for another bottle, or pick one up at the council tip for free.
