So I got the camper and am starting to fit it out.

Only problem is I didn't think too much about the gas bottle size.  So I bought a 4kg from Masters.  I got one with the POL Valve and it is 400mm high.  Suffice to say it doesn't fit.

So, what brand of gas bottle does everyone use.  I think primus is only about 350mm high, what else is out there?  Is there a significant difference between POL and 3/8?

(sorry mods, I guess this should be in general technical)

Thanks

4kg Primus, 9kg Manchester both POL. 3/8 is ok for lights and cookers but POL is more universal.

Our holder needed a 4.5kg and we wanted 3/8 ended up just getting one at k mart as no where else had them at the time

You can always buy an adaptor from 3/8 to POL or the other way around. Straight and 90's are available.

Yeah at this stage I was not too worried about the connection.  It was more around the dimensions.

For eg. The primus website indicates a a 4kg cylinder with a POL valve is 390mm high, but one with a 3/8 is only 350mm.  This is gonna make a difference to fitting in the desired location.

Thanks for the input so far guys, keep it coming!!
