Costa Blanca in March 2014

Hola, Now that I can Shrink pictures it is great!! This is a picture of "Big Olga" on Benidorm Seafront in Feb. before she got her l/h headlamps and Spanish plates. All I had to do with the headlamps was put the l/h glasses on [Mercedes £20.00 each] and have them adjusted. The van loves the heat out here , good battery performance and we have used the roof aircon to keep cool. She has no trouble with the local hills. We have her on "camping gaz" as there is no calor gas out here I have two empty galor bottles to get rid of.

Best Wishes dave.

Don't tell the repsol man that your calor have the same fittings as theirs, I did and it took a couple of hours of slabbering to get away :lol: have you thought about the local buy and sell type paper as someone usually is selling repsol bottles which are the same as big calor bottles fitting wise.

Also the large butane or propane bottles cost around €14/15 in Spain and I think we pay around £23 for calor, bit of a difference

For 11kg propane my local outlet charges €33.50

Needless to say I buy at the next one and get same for €30 :-) still expensive in comparison to Spain,

Everything to do with the leisure market here is a rip off.

This isnt the leisure ones its the large domestic ones, gas and diesel are both a lot cheaper in Spain than here. Petrol on the other hand is more expensive.
