1674 Gas bottles available in Italy...

Hi everyone,

We're currently caravanning in France, en-route to Italy, on a long tour (several months.) In the UK, the caravan was fitted with Calor gas bottles and the appropriate regulator. However, in France we cannot get hold of refills for the Calor bottles (6kg propane) so we need to change the bottles and the regulator.

Before I go getting any changes made, I'd like to check that the same won't happen when we cross from France to Italy. I've made a note of the gas options that are available here (in France). Could someone tell me what is fairly readily available in Italy?

[B]Primagaz[/B]: 13Kg Butane or Propane, or 6Kg Butane or 5.1Kg Propane "Twinny"
[B]Totalgaz[/B]: Malice 13.5 something. They're little bottles that are a similar shape to the Primagaz Twinny.
[B]Butagaz[/B]: 13Kg Propane or Butane, or "Le Cube"

I'm particularly interested in the little bottles (like the Twinny, or Le Cube) - they may be less economical, but they fit in the front compartment of the caravan nicely and allow redundancy (i.e. We don't run out that often - Winter's coming!?!)

Many thanks for your help,

Jeremy.

Apologies, but I just noticed another at the bottom of my list:

[B]Antargaz[/B]: Bottles marked "Elfi" in red or yellow. Similar size to Primagaz Twinny

Many thanks again,

Jeremy.

I read somewhere - I think on the Calor Gas website that bottles in UK are not compatible with Europe - only UK and Holland

and that the gas bottles in France are the same as Italy - could someone confirm this?
