Since late October, gas cylinders in motorhomes and caravans in Germany may be filled with LPG at public filling stations. Previously this was banned and users had to find rare dedicated filling points. The cylinder must be installed to DVGW rules and have an external filling connection. Retrofit at a workshop costs around €300 to €500 including the gas inspection. A full workshop conversion starts at €900, while a DIY kit costs from €370 plus €40 to €80 for the inspection. The cylinder must not be removed from the vehicle, and the plastic seal on the quick coupling must remain intact.
