How to carry Camping Gas and spare diesel?
1st question is simply are we allowed a jerrycan on the backdoor in the UK or Europe? I'd like to carry spare diesel, but 2 jerrycans on the roof is cumbersome and OTT for most trips.
2nd is gas: how do you secure (and vent?) it? Are we allowed to mount gas on the roof or in a backdoor carrier in the UK? I assume not, but many feel the roof is the best place for obvious reasons. I'd like propane as I want full 4-season use, but also considering the campingaz 904 bottles (butane) for their more efficient size. I guess most just strap them to the side of the boot?
I've searched the web and forums but not found much that's applicable to 4x4s in the UK and Europe. Some forums get very het-up about safety, on the other hand the VW camper scene don't make too big a deal of it.
I'd welcome tour thoughts, and it'd be great if you have pics of your installs!
cheers!
