The photo shows the type of gas bottle (orange/red propane) and adapter that I use here in Ireland, both for our house feeding the gas cooker and also while touring with the caravan. Also the 3 main types of adapter: 1= Male thread. 2 = Bayonet. 3 = Female thread.

We're travelling over and then living in our holiday caravan until we find our villa.

Questions please: which type of bottle do you guys use over there, orange/red propane or brown butane? Also, which type of adapter to fit the most popular type of bottle, 1, 2 or 3?

TIA.

Hi

You will find the type of regulator here different to the ones in your photos.

Both butano and propano are available here Repsol are one of the main suppliers if you look on there web site it will show you all availability and regulator types

Orange bottle Propane (Propano) similar regulator 2

You can buy the regulators over here anyway for about €9 from Leroy merlin.

Chinese shops sell them too and local ferratias

From Repsol, both Butano and Propano are in orange bottles, the difference being Propano has a black band painted around it and has less gas. They also do a plastic bottle of Butano which contains less gas is more expensive and has a blue carrying top.

From Cepsa another supplier the bottles are silver and normally more expensive.

Sorry but having used both gasses for over 20 years I believe the regulator you have as number 2 or any of them will not fit any Spanish gas bottles.
