Calor Lite 6kg?

[Anseo]

Never used a ripoff Calorite. ....I use Calor13kg Propane as I can fit one in my caravan front locker....much cheaper
I also have standard 6kgs cylinders.

13kg for me as it fits (just) the side the locker, and like Gafferbill I have a lower capacity cylinder that I only carry if I feel that the 13kg is soon to run out.

In anticipation that I will have to surrender my Calorlite at some stage later this year I had been checking out Calor's website and must admit to some surprise at the range of empty weights given for two types of common bottle. The propane 6kg empty varies from 7.3-10.9kg, and the 4.5kg butane varies from 4.1-8.6kg Haven't Calor instigated better production standards? Especially the 4.5kg butane which has over 100% variation in empty weight. I suspect that their website may not be that accurate

Don't do aquarols or a bags to put them in.
Don't do a Wastemaster .
Don't have a mover.....never needed one yet.
Don't have an awning.
Don't have a windbreak.
Don't have a Cadac
Don't have a drill and its charger just a light weight hand winder.
Don't have a fixed bed and an extra 6ft of caravan body.
Don't have a microwave in the caravan.....it is portable and travels in the car.
Don't have two Calorite cylinders.

I figure I can have one heavier gas cylinder and the caravan still only weighs 1150kgs

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Hello Clive,
I'm pretty certain that Calor have no manufacturing facilities for bottles, Calor will put the manufacture out to tender and include a generic specification, so it will be up to the potential supplier to arrange the actual detail design, and that would include the range of tare weights. Obviously different batches possibly from different suppliers may well have different ranges of tare weight.
