Where do you carry your Gas bottle?

Got to plumb in my bits and was just wondering where you all have your gas bottle located on your vans?

Cheers Folks

 

base of the westy wardrobe for me

 

cuboard under me hob

 

^^^^^ that

 

In the underside of my food larder...Ive got a wire gauze plug hole thing in the floor to allow gas to escape just in case...

 

Under the side seat (which is between the full width bed and a wardrobe which goes behind the driver's seat, Westy Helsinki style).

 

i carry mine in the under bed storage area, if i use it i then connect it up and either put it on the top of the sink cupboard or in the awning, once i re-jet the proper westy cooker it will live under the sink where the water tank once was, i did have the american under van gastank but i removed it as it looks gash.

 

So basically anywhere it fits

Thanks for the quick replies, I've read up that a low level vent is a good idea so i think I'll drill a hole for escaping gas 'just in case'.

 

my propane for the heating under the seat and butane is in the cupboard next to the cooker
was wondering this when it comes to fitting the westie out

 

I carry 2 bottles in the small 'gas' cupboard, low down next to the RR bed, 1 for the hob/grill and the other for the propex. There's a vent cut in the floor just in case..

 

Don't know if you can get them but mine has the LPG tank under the side of the bus. Fantastic as it takes up no room inside, runs on super cheap LPG and you can even get an LPG propex if you want (on my shopping list)

Filling up is hilarious too. Incredulous garage attendant "Is that all????" when I go in to pay £2 for a tank full. Way cheaper than camping gaz

 

mines in the swing out cupboard next to the sliding door with the cooker above it

 

Thanks again fellas, I think i'm gonna go with the 'just in front of the R N R bed, i've got to run some of the pipe under the van so will probably put that section in some conduit to protect it against stones flicking up an piercing it.

 

No bottles required on Marge, she has an underslung tank which we fill with LPG 8)

 

Are there any underslung tanks that fit between the top hats and come no lower than the sill line?

Id like to have an underslung tank on mine but dont want it hanging down and been vunerable on rough tracks

 

I did have on a US style lpg tank slung underneath but was generally unhappy with the condition so replaced it with a bottle inside

 

to all those who have got rid of there american style gas bottle...any chance you want rid of it in my direction?

 

sorry mines been skipped

 

Mines carried in the cooker cupboard. Vent hole in the side next to the sliding door with ill fitting seal.

Make sure wherever you fit it it's secure or strapped down to stop it moving.
