mondo Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 According to the sales brochure my motorhome,(Autocruise Startrail) it holds a 7KG and a 13 KG gas bottle, any way when we picked it up no matter how we tried ,us and the sales team , we couldn't get the 13 KG one in We have tried since but no joy, obviously we are doing something wrong but what, has Autocruise made the gas locker smaller? or what? I suppose some one will come up with the solution!! *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Our Rimor is supposed to be able to take two 13kg bottoles but we can only get a 13kg and a 7kg in because the regulator is placed in such a way that you simply can't get the other 13kg one passed it into the gap. As we've now gone for a Gaslow system it's not a major problem anymore. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, they make both the van and the claim, so you should get an interesting response!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hope you get a 'Swift' response - and do please tell us all what they say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I expect they will say specifications are subject to change without notice so stuff your refund. >:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel B Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 We can't even get the new gaslow bottle passed the ruddy regulator! Blooming nuisance ... might get it moved up a bit next time we have any work done but its not a major problem. :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le canichot depang Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hi We also have an Autocruise Startrail - 2008 model and we don't have any problem putting both the 13k and 7k bottles in. My husband says the 13k bottle has to go in first, by tilting it head first towards the locker and straightening it up as you push in it at the back, the 7k then sits in the front slightly to the left. I can take a picture and email it to you if you like, but not until the weekend as we won't be getting the van out until then I'm affraid. I will also try to post a picture to here if it works, but I'm a bit of a computer dud :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
