Switching to propane
We have only a single Flogas butane bottle at the moment. The 'van is a 1994 Fleetwood so the pressure regulator is at the bottle, not on the bulkhead. I assume if we want to change to propane we just change the regulator for a propane one, by removing the butane one from the pipe and fitting a propane one instead?

Yes, you are correct, you need a propane regulator to screw into the bottle (note it's a left hand thread). I echo the above comment about changing the 'pigtail' pipe between the regulator and the van's metal pipework unless it was replaced in the last 4 years.
Ebay/Gumtree etc are the only places you will get a 'new' propane bottle, they were like gold dust in the summer and often priced accordingly! If you're going for Calor a new bottle charge would be £40 so if you can buy an empty for less than that you are quids in. Be aware that Calor will not exchange bottles for different sizes or swap equivalent propane/butane at the moment, I don't know about Flogas, but I'd recommend calling ahead to check if you were thinking of a "gas swap" with them.
