I have read an article explaining that a motorhome was not allowed to take a 13Kg gas bottle on a ferry crossing to France? Apparently 11Kg was the largest sixe permitted. Is anyone aware of the current rules and are the regulations different on Eurotunnell? I have just bought 13Kg bottles for our travels to France !!!!

Every carrier makes its own rules on this - you need to check with the firm you're planning to travel with.
More usually, they stipulate only one bottle rather than a specific size limit. And of course they all expect them to be turned off - although only Eurotunnel actually check this for themselves in my experience.

Hi Tony & suendave, went to france last year via tunnel had two 6KG light bottles no trouble. B43
DFDS allow two 13kg bottles on the Dover to Dunkerque or Calais crossings. Their terms and conditions web-pages are very confusing. One says you can have up to 47kg of Butane/Propane, whilst a brief version says 2 x 11kg. When I could not find the reference that I had previously found that this was not the case I phoned their 0871 number and was told by the "helpline operator", from her script the limit is 2x11kg. When I questioned this she went to her manager who confirmed there wasn't a limit for motorhomes on the Dover Dunkerque route.
