bodies of the cylinders at mid to high level or
a single 'holding ring' strap is provided which
secures the gas cylinder to the base of the
compartment.

Types of gas

Propane
Propane is supplied in red, or partly red
cylinders which have a female left hand
threaded connector.
Scandinavian countries use the same
connector.
Germany and Austria supply propane with a
male connection.
Propane will work at temperatures as low as
-40°C and is therefore suitable for all winter
motorhoming.
Note: Swift recommend that 6kg CalorLite
propane gas bottles are used.
Butane
Butane is supplied in the U.K. in green or
blue cylinders.
All these have a male left hand thread
EXCEPT for Camping Gaz which has a special
female right hand thread and Calor 7kg and
15kg and aluminium bottles which have a
special clip-on connection.
Continental cylinders usually have a male left
hand thread similar to but not identical with
U.K. butane.
Butane is only suitable for use at temperatures
down to 2°C but will not work below that.
Note: A hose suitable for use with propane
has been supplied with your motorhome.
