Our first night....

[Rolandaa]

So we finally got our long awaited MP and spent the first night close to a friends house (just in case) and all went well. Not used to the camping life and it seems the learning threshold is pretty high. Now on monday we are heading for Norway and Bergen on our premier trip. If any Clubmembers are heading for Norway pls let us know since i think we need all the tips and tricks we can get . The toilett issue is unsolved and we cant find the right gasol tank but we are full of expectation and btw im sooo glad i found this forum. Cya all on the roads /Roland & Tina Stockholm

Hi and welcome to the forum,
Glad all went well on your first trip

What toilet issue can't you resolve?

Hello Steve, we are looking at the portapotti but are more towards a simple solution like for example https://www.amazon.se/Bivvy-Loo-Bär...ocphy=1012200&hvtargid=pla-441439680225&psc=1
Anyone got any experience with this model.

No experience with that model but I can vouch for the portapotti. Does all it should and also fits in the cupboard under the cooker if you remove a shelf

The gas tubes for nordic countries are gasol types.
Something like this:

Gasolflaska 2012 Inklusive Gasol

En liten och smidig gasoltub tillverkad i stål, den kallas även "campingflaska" och är väldigt vanlig till just campingutflykter, jakt samt båtutflykter men förekommer även mycket i verkstaden där den används till lödningsverktyg. OBS, denna modell av gasoltub kan skilja sig något i storlek...

You will need a suitable valve as well.

Here is a picture of my installation:

Guess that works, great. Soo the preinstalled valve can`t be used then.
Ill give it a try, thanks a lot.

Hi Rolandaa! Just saw your post, so the answer is surely too late for you, but it might be useful for someone else. We live in Norway and have a Norwegian 2006 MP. Norway and other Nordic countries use propane rather than butane because butane works badly in the cold. Our van has a different (refillable) propane cylinder and regulator than the previous photo (which to me looks like the original campingaz 907 butane cylinder and regulator which I just bought for touring in Europe). The orange 2.5kg propane cylinders are also used in small pleasure boats.
