Which gas provider/system for Europe

Having only short trip visit to Europe in the past, we’ve always been able to get by easily on Calor 6kg propane, however we are planing a much longer trip - My query, for anyone with recent experience of travelling on through the continent of Europe, should I be able to get replacement calor over there, or do I need to look at a different solution - FYI underslung tank looks unlikely due to space- My gas cupboard will only accommodate 6kg sized tank! Any knowledgeable suggestions would be much appreciated.

many thanks

    It’s also a lifestyle question. Every site overseas has electric hookup so with a caravan we used their electricity for fridge, portable oven, Caravan heating, kettle, toaster, fans, and water heating, -  and used to tour mainland Europe with the same gas cylinder for several years. But if as a motorhomer you intend avoiding campsites then you have more of a problem which we never shared.

    We have 11kg Gaslow but they also do a 6kg size which may be suitable for your needs and with the correct adapters can be refilled in Europe. Even if you want to use Aires without consuming a lot of gas this is possible at most of those belonging to thecamping car park network, where 6 amp electric is provided,

    “Le Cube” cylinders are widely available in France at supermarket petrol station kiosks. They have a clip on regulator fitting and measure something like 285mm square and 355 mm high. Will they fit your gas locker?
