17.6 Gas supply in European countries
General tips Always observe the following instructions:
z
Only go on vacation with completely filled gas bottles.
z
Use all of the gas bottles' capacity.
z
Take along adapter sets (available in camping supply stores) for filling gas
bottles in foreign countries and for connecting the gas pressure regulator
to foreign gas bottles.
z
During the cold time of the year observe filling with propane gas component
(butane does not gas below 0 °C).
z
Use blue bottles from the firm Campingaz (distributed world-wide). Only
use gas bottles with safety valves.
z
When bottles from other countries are used, check the gas bottle compart-
ments to see if the gas bottles fit into them. Gas bottles from other countries
do not always display the same size as your own gas bottles.
17.7 Toll regulations in European countries
Many European countries have introduced a mandatory toll system. The toll
regulations and how they are collected vary greatly from country to country.
Nevertheless, ignorance is no excuse. Penalties can be quite severe.
As is the case with traffic regulations, the vehicle driver is required to be
familiar with the toll formalities before starting out on a trip. For example, in
Austria the vignette does not meet the toll requirements for vehicles that weigh
more than 3.5 t. There, a so-called "Go-Box" must be obtained and charged.
Contact your automobile club or the Internet for further information.

Z
In Europe, there are several different connection systems for gas bottles. It
is not always possible to fill or exchange your gas bottles in a foreign
country. Get information about the connection system in the country you
are travelling to before embarking on your journey, e.g. at a motoring club
or in the trade press.
Z
Windscreens with solar filters can affect the functioning of automatic toll
collection systems (e.g. Go-Box). This must be taken into account when
acquiring the appropriate device (e.g. Split-Go-Box).
