Tracker Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 If anyone has or knows of a used 6kg refillable gas bottle for sale, any recognised make, could they PM me with details please. I have one 13kg Calor Propane (red) empty bottle as well as one spare 6kg Calor lite (red and not subject to recall) which I will no longer need when I get a refillable. Reason for change - changing vans - back to a compact coachbuilt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(lol) Why bother with a second-hand bottle, you can get a new one with gauge for just over £100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Cheers, although it does go against the grain for me to be stylish we too do think it is a pretty little thing and I always was sucker for a well rounded and curvy shape! http://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/Motorhomes/Reviews/Motorhomes/Auto-Sleepers-Ltd-Edition-Executive-50th-Anniversary-motorhome-review/_ch1_rw766_pg1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will86 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Tracker About a year to give it a fair chance - and another year finding the right van at the right price! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But what is the right price ? Those with deep pockets have different views of a price. If its a must have item then the pockets can be stretched to suit. i.e. Next week I'm paying for some medical attention. The price is right to get the job done.NOW. Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Will85 - 2015-03-18 7:39 PM But what is the right price ? It is a 'would like' not a 'must have' item so in this case the right price is the right price for us which means that it is a cost that we feel comfortable with, and obviously I cannot speak for anyone else as everyone else will have their own ideas of the right price for any goods or services they decide to purchase? Simples! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hi Rich. The van looks nice. Wish I could afford one as I like Auto-Sleepers. That was our first van when the "brothers" were in charge and they treated us very well. In fact we had the cab blinds off them which were the prototype for ones of their ranges. Are you buying new?

Wow, a real collectors van, bound to hold its value, easy to park, yet on a modern chassis. Good one Rich. I still miss the 'usability' of my old Talisman. Shame about the 'Talbot' bit though.

Tracker Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Many thanks folks and it is always good when nice people are friendly and say pleasant things. Not new Patricia - 4 years old and one of the first made so it does not have a solar panel - yet - but on the other hand nothing like the new price of £56k ish - depending on year and spec of a new one. As we live just 5 miles from the A/S factory if we do get any issues they are handy and we too always found the Trevelyan family wonderfully supportive and helpful long after any warranty has expire. I wonder if that still applies! Marquis sold the very last new one about a month ago and that had been on sale at £54k. They do have another 12 regd at £49k but I can assure you that we are paying much much much less than that for ours and with a respectable if not spectacular p/x leaving a modest balance to pay! Ray - vans are only collectable when you are buying them - nevertheless being allegedly 'sought after' we do hope that it hang on to more of it's shekels than many do - as has the Warwick Duo! Howard - I am sure that someone will soon be along to point out the error of my ways for preferring British made vans and their more user friendly and comfortable (for us) layouts!

Don't leave us just yet as hopefully you have plenty more camping miles, and forum postings, before you head off to that great Aire / Campsite / Car park - depending on your religion - in the sky!!
