PGs camper van

[Pete Grey]

Yet another change of plan.

When we were away in the camper last time, over three weeks our propane use worked out at a little over 1/2 kg a day, this was for all cooking, heating water and running the fridge about 12 hours a day (for safety, gas is turned of at night even though we have a carbon monoxide detector).

On a long camp we normally carry two 6kg propane bottles, between three and four weeks use then the bottles can easily replaced, most rural/holiday area garages sell gas.

On a BO when the perishable food is consumed, if it cannot be replaced, the fridge becomes just another cupboard reducing gas consumption.

We have the two 6kg bottles but we also have two 13kg bottles which with luck we would have had chance to pack, but we always carry spare gas tubing, hose clips and a selection of regulators for both propane and butane for any bottles we can scavenge.

So our solar electricity needs will probably just be battery charging.
