What a great idea, love it. Thanks. Cheers Judy
We think so, always good to lose some weight off the front of the van but so much lighter to manual handle too, win win we think
Saving 10 kg just like that, how bloody good.
Just like that, and on the front of the van too!
Wowzers this is so timely as we are a bit heavy in the front end and are looking at shaving off some weight. Very informative and my wife and I love watching your videos. It’s been very helpful and some what inspiring.
Thank you, yeh its amazing how quickly the weight can add up, ive always had to be conservative on the front because i can’t afford anymore weight being transferred to the car so every little bit helps.
Safe travels, reach out anytime
Fantastic!
Yeh, we think its a great idea
Very Interesting Mark, Thank you. Will definitely investigate further. ❤🇦🇺🦘
Cheers, definitely worth having a look at their website, will post some additional details on our facebook in the morning too
I like the idea of them.
Yeh i think its a good idea, i know of a few that have them on yachts, surprised they haven’t really ventured into the camping scene before
@@Ourwhittleadventure the initial cost would be a turn off, have shared with friends that travel.
Yeh it definitely will turn a few people away but i think theres some that will definitely see the benefit
Thanks for sharing
Your welcome
Its always a trade off. I’ve chosen lithium 12v system with solar, alternator, 15am/240v charging and induction cooking. It keeps the weight down and whilst the capex is high, the run cost are very low. Gas only becomes are requirement for remote base camping.
Yeh i do like the idea of being gas free but we arent in that position yet. I did the math, costs us about $700 in gas a year vs the few thousand $ we were looking at into upgrading our electrical offgrid capabilities
Something to work towards
I saw these online in the USA a few years back. Nice to see they’ve made it here now. Shame there are no little ones as we plan to carry 2 x 4.5kg cylinders
Yeh il provide that feedback to them, i think it is in the plans from my understanding, will see how they go
@@Ourwhittleadventure and you answered the one question that their website doesn't... namely will they fit in regular cylinder holders on vans.
Ah yeh i have seen it in their stuff, il let them know it should be on the website, thanks for that
@@Ourwhittleadventure also worth mentioning that you guys are an inspiration to us... we have two Samoyeds and are planning to hit the road in the next few months. We keep a careful eye on the places you stay for dog friendliness,
Oh thats awesome guys, you will be on the road in no time! Exciting times ahead, where are you leaving from?
Definitely looking into these, trying to keep weights down on our new to us van. We're new to caravanning and have gas fridge, hws and cooking - is that 10-12 days that you'll get out of each bottle, or total for both?
Thats 10 days off each bottle and we are the same, fridge, cooking and HWS
Thats 10 days completely offgrid.
We do turn our Hws off when not in use aswell
thanks mate will be looking into these ,do they have a expiration date like the steel ones
They still need to meet the same requirements for retesting every 10 years but lifespan is supposedly 15 years
Sounds awesome.
Do they make them in the smaller size (ie 4kg?)
Not that im aware of, the 7.5kg is the smallest at the moment then they have some bigger sizes too.
Hi great vid, do these bottles have an expiry of 10years like your typical steel bottles?
Yeh they need to be retested at 10 years same as steel, life expectancy is meant tk be longer though.
They have to abide by all the same rules and regs as the steel ones
Very important question how often by law are you required to get the bottles tested?? Steel ones every ten years
Same for these, they are required to meet all the same standards and certifications
Hi are they the same hight or shorter than the steel ones . Thanks
They are taller and not as wide as the steel. I think they have dimensions on their website
Hey Clem and Mark, thanks for the video. We are looking at picking up our caravan soon and need to invest in purchasing some accessories for it and the bottles are one of them. We were wondering if you still have an affiliation with comgas, know if your discount code still works or know of any discounts codes you can provide?
Hey guys, no sorry our affiliation with them ended last year. Im not sure of any discount codes anymore, hopefully they do run a promo again as a bit of cost saving on these goes a long way.
Sorry i can’t be more help
@@Ourwhittleadventure awesome thanks for the reply. Are you guys still on the road?
@_suppsventures1149 yeh currently in Cairns
Hi Mark this may seem a strange question but anyway. The cost of 295.00 less your discount code, is that per bottle or for the two bottles? Cheers Peter
Thats per bottle. $259 with our code per bottle.
They are definitely on the expensive side
ugh im not loving the price but i got two anyway..im old and grumpy about it lol
Hey mark whats the code for discount
Just our surname.
WHITTLES
@@Ourwhittleadventure thanks m8👍
No worries buddy have a good one
oops missed the discount omg lol
That promo has run out now anyway, hopefully will have another one when the newer style comes out
these look great but 300 dollars? wtf is it gold infused plastic?
Yeh definitely not cheap at all so not for everyone, but the ease of carrying them and the weight saving on the front of the van is somewhat of a tradeoff
the weight sold me ... any fewer ways to do myself an injury while camping is worth it !@@Ourwhittleadventure
@FoodieAu absolutely it is!
try getting any customer service out of Viking Tank company, they are the worst
Thats not ang good from them, we dont have viking here, we got ours from compgas and theyve been pretty good to deal with
Sorry,way to much$ plus you loss 2 kilos,good for some people ,thank you anyway
Cheers buddy
