What you should look out for when retrofitting refillable gas bottles in a motorhome -

Have you ever considered retrofitting a refillable gas bottle in your motorhome? If you want to be more independent, then this is an excellent idea. Whether motorhome, van or caravan - installation is possible in most vehicles without any problems. However, there are several important aspects to consider before you start the installation.

Install the refillable gas bottle yourself or have a professional do it?

Theoretically, you can install the refillable gas bottle in your car yourself. But specialist companies know what they are doing! Manufacturers such as Alugas and CAMPKO® recommend having the installation carried out by experts for good reason. Incorrect installation could not only jeopardize your safety, but also your insurance cover.

Why let a professional do the job?

Specialist companies know all the regulations, norms and safety standards and ensure that everything is installed correctly. After installing a refillable gas bottle in your motorhome in accordance with the ECE R67 standard, you must have the system TÜV-approved so that it can be entered in your vehicle documents. Without this approval, your vehicle could, in the worst case, no longer be eligible for registration.

How much does it cost to install a refillable gas bottle?

Prices vary depending on the choice of material, cylinder size and system. You can expect to pay between €1,500 and €4,000 for the installation of a refillable gas bottle in your motorhome. Larger tanks or complete sets can of course be more expensive. However, it pays to pay attention to the highest safety standards and convenience!
