Hi All, British list members out there please lets us know what is different about the CALOR (sp?) gaz tanks that you carry inside your VW conversions? If anyones aware of the US BBQ design please give us a quick comparison with the your Calor Gaz ones! Back in 1987-88 when I first saw the Propex heater at a place called *TODDS Motorhomes* near Chorley in England all the conversions had the Calor bottles on board (in the rear cupboard). This was and still is common practice as far as I know. What the differences in tanks is, I'm not sure (if any)! Question: We have mobile (direct vent) propane space heaters up here in the 49th state as not many folks are hooked up to the mains. The unit contains a 20lb propane bottle and is all UL (whatever) listed and deemed safe for household use. Furthermore the mobile heating units the flame has got to be no more than 18 inches from the propane tank just by the units basic design!!! *Just maybe* this unit runs off a supposedly safer bottle/valve combination just like those European Westies.
