From the bottom up sorry loaded upside down.
None at all, 2 hours in total, if I haven’t had the Gaslow cylinders I might have considered the underslung tank only because it frees up space in the gas cabinet however not really necessary in a 680.Good suggestions...and thank you for posting. No problem getting it fitted I assume?
Thanks Jester. Very helpful. We are having it fitted in April by Marquis in Poole.None at all, 2 hours in total, if I haven’t had the Gaslow cylinders I might have considered the underslung tank only because it frees up space in the gas cabinet however not really necessary in a 680.
Will here of Jester, if I were doing again probably the under slung, purely for space.Demelza...out of interest, are you going for the internal Gaslow refillable or the Gasit underslung solution. Can't make up my mind!

We are getting the internal Gaslow. It will take a day and half to do as he is not sure what is behind the gas storage area so will cut through. The refillable point will be on the side of the van at rear.Demelza...out of interest, are you going for the internal Gaslow refillable or the Gasit underslung solution. Can't make up my mind!
The bp gas light 10kg propane cylinders also fit the cupboard and are much lighter (15kg full) they are sold from Homebase but you need a 27mm clip on adaptor to connect to the Truma pig tails that come with the GC.
Thanks a lot. Very useful. Seems like there is no easy answer. It was so much simpler in my Cali where the camping gaz was pan european and so easy to swap. I am hoping to get my GC just before a holiday so won’t have chance to get any lpg installed. It seems as if in U.K. spring a 11kg cylinder should last me a week. So if I can find one I will fit one of those. Then will probably sort out lpg upon my return but even that doesn’t sound straightforward !!Sorry forgot the link!!!

hi, how did you get on with the fitting gaslow in your GC? where did you put internal storage ? did you find the space behind the locker ? How much did it cost to do ? Is the refillable point below the vehicle or in the side like the electricity ones. ThanksWe are getting the internal Gaslow.

Hi sorry to jump in as you have most of what’s required to install LPG cost ranges between £650/£750 depending on your installer.hi, how did you get on with the fitting gaslow in your GC? where did you put internal storage ? did you find the space behind the locker ?

As Leeb says the gas will be regulated to 30-35mb I use a city Cadec
BBQ outlet is down to you if you are having it fitted via Propex Billy will advise position. Here’s mine. BBQ is the quick connector in red.

Hello Eberhard,Hello @Jester.
I am just back from Thomson Leisure Service in Northern Ireland to discuss the installation of 2x 11 kg Gaslow bottles with an external filler point.
We discussed where best to put the filler point. I am nervous to drill a hole in side of the GC, but equally I am nervous to get the filler point on the L-shape bracket behind the right back wheel.
How is this working out with yours? It seems you have the small filler point installed from Gaslow. Is this the one that you always have to put in an adapter first (and nothing wrong with that)?
There is a standard cost for the installation (which is a bit higher than I expected), which means to get the gas bottle cabinet out to install the filler point in the side of the camper properly. I am not sure about that (and that is no critic on Thomson Leisure) it is more VW, because it feels to me that everything is so complicated with the camper.
Kind regards,
Eberhard
