snowy Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Hi. I am waiting delivery of a Autotrail Expedition 66. In the next 3 weeks. I was told that the refillable 2 gas bottles were the 2.7 kgs each, because of the small space for them. I would like to fit at least a 30 litre tank slung underneath. Not sure yet if there is space for it. I was wondering if anyone had fitted a tank underneath, and what size it was. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labby Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 It could be worth talking to Autogas 2000 at www.autogasleisure.co.uk to see if they have fitted one to your model and if there were any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowy Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 I don't think there is a problem with fitting one, I think it is more is there enough space left underneath to get the the tank in. But as you say it is worth giving them a ring, they may have fitted one. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowy Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 Phoned Autogas2000 this morning and guy there was most helpful. He said there was no problem with space for the tank and they fitted a couple on that model every week. Just give them a Call and they would sent every thing needed to fit it. Great news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinM50 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Bought my refillable one from Tektanks in Kenilworth. Very helpful and better price than others, though tbh I know nothing about Autogas2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 A GOOGLE-search on ducato gas tank kit will identify several potential installers (with some adverts showing where the tank goes). The standard specification of an Auto-Trail Expedition 66 includes 2 x 3.9kg gas bottles. Calor's decision to phase out their 3.9kg canister means that a buyer of an Expedition 66 will either need to use (in the UK) Flogas 3.9kg bottles, or go down the 'autogas' route that (as snowy has said) translates to using Gaslow's 2.7kg R67 refillable bottles or fitting an external gas tank - in both cases not a cheap exercise. (Presumably modifying the motorhome internally to carry larger-capacity gas bottles is a non-starter?) It would be interesting to know what (if anything) Auto-Trail is doing about this gas-related complication, as Calor's decision to discontinue availability of the 3.9kg canister was publicised 6 months ago.

snowy Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 I fitted the 30 ltr under slung tank with about 30mm to spare on the length. Otherwise no other problems and enough space around it to work on comfortably. Found Autogas 2000 supplier really helpful and prompt with their delivery.

Kevjan Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Not sure where you are from but Propex in Ringwood Hampshire have a very good name and i do believe will also supply and fit. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zydeco Joe Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Had a tank fitted in Thirsk by Auto Gas 2000 5 years ago. Stayed overnight with electric for free they even drove us on the day of fitting into Thirsk and picked is up after. Happy with the service. Big bonus is the space of the gas locker takes loads of stuff like ramps, two large boxes, cycle helmets, chargers etc. Plus no rip off by calor.
