Jefferson Calor Gas supplies 6kg Calor propane and Campingaz cylinders for campervan, caravan and motorhome owners.

Not sure which gas bottle you need? Our team can help you understand the available cylinder options before you order.
Choosing a Calor gas or Campingaz bottle for your campervan or caravan depends on more than cylinder capacity. Your existing installation, available cylinder storage, appliance requirements and intended travel conditions all influence the appropriate choice.
Jefferson supplies several cylinder options, including 3.9kg, 6kg, 13kg propane and 907/904 Campingaz. Before changing your gas bottle type, always check the requirements & millibar pressures specified by your caravan, campervan or appliance manufacturer.
The 6kg Calor propane gas bottle is a popular choice for compatible campervans, caravans and motorhomes. Its compact size makes it convenient for leisure vehicles, while propane is well suited to colder-weather trips.
It can supply compatible LPG stove cooking, heating and hot-water systems. Always check your vehicle's gas regulator and cylinder connection requirements before ordering.
Jefferson Gas can help with new Calor propane & butane cylinders, bottle replacements and eligible refill exchanges.
The Campingaz 907 gas cylinder is a new Gaz bottle or refillable option for compatible campervans, caravans and camping equipment.
Campingaz operates an exchange network across Europe, making it useful for travellers planning trips abroad. Its compact design can also suit smaller campervans, provided the cylinder fits the designated storage compartment and equipment requirements.
Already have an empty Campingaz 907? Contact Jefferson Gas to check cylinder replacement and refill exchange availability.
We also list Campingaz 904 cylinders for customers with compatible camping and leisure equipment.
These small gas bottle options may suit installations with limited storage space. Always check your appliance's requirements and confirm cylinder availability and exchange eligibility before ordering, particularly for older models.
Choosing the right gas bottle is important. At temperatures around 0°C, butane gas struggles to vaporise, meaning appliances may stop working even when butane remains in the cylinder.
Campervan gas bottles are often stored in external or underfloor compartments, exposing them to colder temperatures. 6kg propane is generally a better choice for winter travel, as it continues to vaporise at much lower temperatures than butane.
If you're considering switching from a 7kg butane bottle to 6kg propane, check that your campervan's gas system, regulator and connections are suitable before making the change.
Both 6kg Calor propane and Campingaz can be relevant to campervan and caravan owners, but they are not automatically interchangeable.
The right choice depends on the gas system already installed in your vehicle and how you intend to use it.
Campingaz is a convenient option for campervan trips to Europe, as empty cylinders can be exchanged for full ones at many local supermarkets and petrol stations, making it easier to top up your gas supply while travelling.
Important: A different bottle is not necessarily a direct replacement. Cylinder dimensions, gas type, regulator requirements, cylinder valve connections and the vehicle's gas installation must all be considered.
If you're unsure which bottle you currently use, check its label and markings before contacting our team.
Campervan and caravan owners travelling outside the warmer months should consider how colder temperatures may affect their LPG supply.
Propane and butane have different low-temperature characteristics. Propane can continue to provide vapour from its liquid state at substantially lower temperatures than butane, which makes it particularly relevant for suitable cold-weather caravan and motorhome installations.
This matters if you're planning autumn or winter trips, travelling to colder parts of the UK or using your leisure vehicle throughout the year.
Before setting off, consider:
Jefferson Gas can help with cylinder refill supply, while any required installation alterations should be assessed and carried out by a suitably qualified professional.
Before setting off, check you have enough Calor gas for your trip. Cooking, heating and hot water can all affect how quickly your gas bottle runs out.
Your pre-holiday gas checklist:
Jefferson supplies Calor campervan and caravan gas across East & West Sussex, Hampshire, East Dorset and the New Forest, helping you prepare before departure, and when you arrive in these touristic areas of the South.
Already have an empty gas bottle? You may be able to exchange it for a full cylinder under the applicable Calor cylinder refill agreements or Campingaz refilled price arrangements.
Customers with eligible empty Calor cylinders can arrange an exchange for a full bottle.
Campingaz offers an exchange system for eligible refillable cylinders, including 904 and 907 models.
New to campervan or caravan ownership? You may need to obtain a new Calor or Gaz bottle without an empty cylinder to exchange.
Tell us which camping gas bottle your equipment requires, and we'll help you understand the available purchase options and any initial cylinder charges.
Campingaz is a popular option for compatible campervan and camping equipment used across Europe. Its established European exchange network can help travellers find replacement cylinders abroad, although availability varies by country and retailer. See www.campingaz.com and click the country you're travelling to, then enter the nearest city for a map list of Campingaz stockists.
Before travelling abroad, check:
Jefferson supplies Campingaz cylinders in Portsmouth, Brighton, Bournemouth and the wider areas, with options to help you prepare for your journey, subject to availability.
Using the correct gas cylinder also means having suitable propane or butane gas regulators, LPG hoses and cylinder valve connections for your campervan or caravan's LPG installation.
Jefferson supplies gas regulators, changeover valves and hoses, alongside connectors, adaptors and accessories.
Butane clip-on regulators are commonly used with compatible Calor Gas portable heaters and butane cylinders.
For summer leisure vehicles using smaller cylinders, a butane screw-fit regulator is designed for the 4.5kg Calor butane cylinder connection. Always check this required 28mBar regulator pressure and cylinder valve fitting before purchasing.
37mbar propane regulators are used with suitable higher pressure propane gas-powered equipment, including certain outdoor boiling rings & cooking stoves for mobile catering vans, trade appliances such as site heaters, industrial space heaters & roofing torches. Specialist propane burner regulators are also used for applications such as road-marking work.
For travellers, we also supply a 37mbar propane regulator with handwheel, offering a convenient connection without needing a separate spanner, where the fitting is suitable.
However, not every 37mbar regulator is appropriate for a campervan, caravan or static caravan. Many leisure vehicles have dedicated LPG regulator or cylinder changeover systems, so always follow the manufacturer's specifications.
Jefferson also supplies a Campingaz butane regulator for compatible Campingaz 904 & 907 cylinders and Gaz appliances.
Campingaz cylinders use their own connection arrangements, so standard Calor regulators should not be assumed interchangeable, although there is a 4.5kg regulator to Gaz bottle adaptor/connector. Check your gas bottle size and appliance requirements before ordering from Jefferson Gas.
Whether you're connecting an indoor Calor gas heater, outdoor boiling ring or campervan LPG system, the bottled gas regulator must match the cylinder valve, appliance operating pressure and bottled gas installation requirements.
If you're unsure which regulator you need, Jefferson's team can help you identify the available propane, butane, Campingaz and Patio / BBQ gas regulator options. Gas system modifications should be carried out by a suitably qualified professional.

Check cylinder availability before travelling, particularly for 6kg propane and Campingaz bottles.
Gas cylinders must be suitable for your vehicle's LPG installation and handled according to manufacturer instructions.
Essential LPG safety considerations:
Jefferson supplies propane & butane gas cylinders, refills and equipment, but installation suitability and safety must be confirmed independently.
For further guidance, consult your leisure vehicle and gas cylinder manufacturers or the Gas Safe Register.
The correct gas bottle depends on your vehicle's LPG installation, cylinder-compartment dimensions, appliances and regulator requirements. The Calor 6kg propane gas bottle is a common option for suitable UK campervans, while Campingaz cylinders are used with compatible leisure equipment. Check your vehicle's manufacturer instructions before choosing.
A 6kg propane bottle can be suitable for caravans with an installation designed for that cylinder and gas type. Check the manufacturer's cylinder, storage and regulator specifications before ordering.
Propane can supply gas vapour at much lower temperatures than butane, making it relevant for suitable cold-weather caravan installations. However, changing from butane to propane may require different equipment or professional assessment. Never assume the cylinders are interchangeable.
Campingaz 907 can be used with compatible equipment and installations designed for that Gaz cylinder. Check the available storage space, securing arrangement, regulator and appliance specifications before choosing it for your vehicle.
Campingaz 904 and 907 are different refillable-cylinder models with different capacities and dimensions. Which one is appropriate depends on the compatible equipment and available storage space. Confirm your existing Gaz bottle size before purchasing a replacement cylinder refill.
Eligible Calor cylinders can be exchanged under the applicable Calor cylinder refill agreements. Check the markings on your empty cylinder and confirm its exchange eligibility before placing an order.
Eligible Campingaz refillable gas cylinders can be exchanged through the relevant exchange arrangements, subject to 2.72kg or 1.81kg bottle size and retailer availability. Contact Jefferson Gas to order as both your existing 907 and 904 cylinders are interchangeable, or discuss the options if you possess an older Campingaz 901.
You should not change gas types without checking your caravan's LPG system and manufacturer requirements. Different propane and butane cylinder valves can require different gas regulators and adaptors. Any necessary alterations should be assessed by an appropriately qualified LPG gas engineer.
Campingaz operates a European retailer and exchange network. However, individual cylinder availability varies by country and retailer. Check the current Campingaz stockist information before travelling.
Gas usage depends on your appliances, their consumption rates, how often you use them and the duration of your trip. Review your equipment's consumption information and check the available cylinder supply before leaving.
