So in November we had a Gaslow system fitted, 2x11KG bottles, to Doris, ( Carado A366 ). By Leisure Technical Solutions, Great neat job, BTW.
Not really used the van, so on Monday morning we left a sunny but cold County Wexford for a 6 and a half hour drive up to Donagheys for an annual service and Hab check. Patches of snow in various places on the way up and slush and ice up at Letterkenny
Stopped in Omagh to fill up Gaslow, took 39.65 litres of gas on board. 0.72p a litre BTW
Got to Donagheys around 4pm. So we decided to use this as a test to see how much gas we use.
On arrival we hooked up, for lights and TV, but put hot water on 60 degrees and blow heating on number 6, once water and van had heated up we reduced the Truma dial to number 3, we left this like that all night. Ran kettle the next morning to boil water. 0830 off goes Doris for Hab check and service, so i turn off the gas and hand Doris over to the nice man Chris at Donagheys and off she goes.
We get the call at 1630 that afternoon that Doris has been serviced ( oooer missus) and has passed her hab check with flying colours, so once again at 1700, on goes the gas to 60 degrees, Truma at number 6 to warm her up, plus bathroom as SWMBO, plus myself need a shower, so we both have a nice hot shower, and Mrs B cooks a nice Spag Bol using gas on the hob, after an hour heating cranked down to number 3, and we spend the rest of the night watching TV and playing cards, we crash out about 11pm on Tuesday as we have a long drive back to Wexford, but leave heating and hot water on all night ( number 3)
we depart Donagheys at 9am and switch of gas. On the way home we decide to top off the gaslow in Omagh to see what we have used.
How much do you reckon, i ask Mrs B, she comes in with 7 litres, i reckon 10+
Nope 4.36 litres and she is full.
Bare in mind that as part of the HAb check, Donagheys run up all your appliances to check them as well. So i was well impressed with how little gas we had used.
On another note, Donagheys once again, brilliant and sorted a few little jobs we wanted doing as well, plus we spent too much in their shop!!!!
