WAS A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME, NOT ANY MORE (2026)

Worried about your payload? Want to squeeze in a little something extra, maybe another book to read on those long lot summer days, a slightly better (but heavier) BBQ, a few more bottles of wine or beer....? Well if you don't already know about these it may well be worth taking a look and either buying one or trying at the next bottle exchange to swap, could save you a bit of travelling weight. UPDATE 2014: We had to return ours after a recall, the 3rd in their history , read all about it HERE UPDATE 2018: Discontinued, probably unsafe UPDATE 2021: Calor have stopped making them. We got a carbon monoxide ping at 2am when in Brighton, frightening #scary Want to follow our motorhome-travels' pinboard on Pinterest?
