We have dropped the alternative route through Saudi Arabia, because of our civilian (not married).
Now we try to ship our bus to Namibia. Our gas cylinders can‘t go on board, now I'm trying to find out what dimensions CADAC bottles have. The Swiss bottles we own have a diameter of 75cm and a height of 50cm. Can someone from the forum say which model (+ / - 2cm) will fit in our cabinet, an where we can get Theme in Walvis Bay or Swakopmund?

I’m shure the fitting is different, and will have to buy one when there.

You also need to check the attachment thread fitting as I know SA ones don't work in Canada or Australia.

Hi Emanuel,
I wonder at that Emanuel. Sure it is not the weight of gas plus bottle?
Hi Johan
I check the Cadac site to, with the same result as you and then I asked here J

John you're right, I have two bottles here, one empty and the other almost full. Both are from the same supplier and have the same dimensions. The empty bottle shows 12.7kg and weighs 7.6kg, the other is says 11.4kg and weighs 11.3 kg.
Greetings
Yes Emanuel. A five kg capacity I'm sure. Gas is about 2 euros per kg here.
Costs almost 2.5 times more here.
R23.33 per kilo for 9kg bottle in Velddrif. Thats about 1.8 Euro. May be cheaper in Nam.
