17.6 Gas supply in European countries
General tips Always observe the following information:
z Only go on vacation with completely filled gas bottles.
z Use all of the gas bottles' capacity.
z Take along adapter sets (available in camping supply stores) for filling gas bot-
tles in foreign countries and for connecting a German gas regulator to foreign
gas bottles.
z During the cold time of the year observe filling with propane gas component
(butane does not gasify below 0 °C).
z Use blue bottles from the firm Campingaz (distributed world-wide). Only use
gas bottles with safety valves.
z Buy a so-called self-filler bottle. Like a permanently installed gas tank this 11 kg
bottle can be refilled at any auto gas filling station (directory available from the
ADAC). Inspection at a technical inspectorate is required every 10 years.
z When bottles from other countries are used, check the gas bottle compart-
ments to see if the gas bottles fit into them. Gas bottles from other countries do
not always display the same size as the German Eurogas bottles.
z Follow the EU heating appliance directive. For information, visit www.truma.de
