HI All,
Has just purchased a new 7 x 4 Camper Trailer and very new to camping so please excuse my possible stupid questions. The trailer comes with 2 Gas Bottles holders. I have a 3.0 KG bottle which is too big by about 50 ml and then tried a 4.0 KG with the same result.Does anyone know the "Standard Size" for Trailer Campers as I have heard that 4.5 KG Bottles are used but have been unable to buy from several local camping shops.Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Same trouble for me, Primus bottles (blue in colour) fitted
mine - nice and snug, smaller diameter than most others (in the 4.5 kg) A bit expensive to start with but if they fit it's worth it! Just need to get them filled each time, not swapngo.
If you're talking about a thread not being long enough then I would presume that the manufacturer has just installed standard prefabricated gas bottle holders and welded them on to the trailer, ones made in china and purchased pretty cheap. If so I've got the same as so would most other lower-middle range camper trailers. so try a primus bottle and see how you go.

Hi D-Jack, Thanks for the reply. The bottles I bought in the first place were actually Primus. Did not think I had to measure them as I figured they were a standard size to fit my now not standard Gas Bottle holders. Will make a few calls tomorrow, Cheers
