Before you arrive: plan for a smooth swap
A little preparation keeps your fuel changeover quick and safe.
- Confirm your setup: Bring the correct regulator and hose for your appliance system. If you travel cross-border, carry a universal adapter kit to accommodate common cylinder valves.
- Inspect equipment: Check hose date codes and replace any perished or cracked lines. Ensure jubilee clips or quick connectors are secure and undamaged.
- Pack safety essentials: A gas leak spray or soapy-water solution, heat-resistant work gloves, and a gas/CO alarm add an extra layer of safety.
- Match your pitch: If you’ve booked a pitch that features a gas connection, verify connector compatibility before you travel.
- Time your swap: Don’t wait until a bottle is completely empty; plan to exchange when you’re down to a safe reserve so you can switch at a convenient time.
- Travel light: If you rent American-style motorhomes on site, ask which cylinder type and fittings are used so you can plan accessories accordingly.

On site: a safe, simple way to exchange gas
While exact procedures can vary, these proven best practices apply broadly to safe cylinder swaps:
- Power down and ventilate.
- Turn off all gas appliances and close the cylinder valve.
- Ventilate the area before disconnecting.
- Disconnect carefully.
- Use appropriate tools/gloves to release the regulator. Keep the cylinder upright during handling.
- Transport upright.
- Move cylinders vertically and securely. Avoid heat sources and ignition points.
- Use the on-site exchange.
- Camping Salatà provides on-site gas supplies and a gas-cylinder exchange service. Follow posted instructions or ask staff where to complete your exchange.
- Reconnect and test.
- Fit the regulator correctly. Perform a leak test with soapy water or a dedicated leak-detect spray at all joints. Bubbles indicate a leak—tighten or reseat and test again.
- Store and operate safely.
- Keep cylinders upright, ventilated, and away from flames. Close the valve when not in use or when you leave your pitch.
If you ever detect a persistent gas smell, close the valve immediately, ventilate thoroughly, keep flames and switches off, and seek qualified assistance.
Safe gas use at the campsite: simple rules that matter
Using gas next to friends, family, and open-air cooking areas calls for consistent habits:
- Keep cylinders upright, shaded, and well ventilated—never inside sleeping areas.
- Use only undamaged regulators and hoses rated for your appliances.
- Perform a quick leak check after every reconnect.
- Maintain clear separation between gas appliances and open flames. Camping Salatà allows charcoal barbecues and authorised campfires (including a central campfire area); set up gas gear well away from these zones.
- Turn off the cylinder valve when appliances are not in use.
- Never dispose of cylinders in general waste. Use exchange schemes or approved return channels.

Camping Salatà is designed with tourers in mind, so your gas planning integrates smoothly with other utilities:

- A dedicated motorhome service point lets you empty wastewater and refill fresh water without leaving the site.
