You can certainly fit the 7.5kg Safefill but only just because the diameter is larger than a standard Calor bottle. You wouldn't be able to fit 2 side by side without replumbing the gas pipe and regulator. A 10kg Safefill is 100mm higher than the 7.5kg so you might struggle with the top hose connection.

We use a 7kg Safefill and a 5kg calor lite backup. As per the advice from Safefill we changed he pigtail to the hand-turn type. That arrangement fills the locker on our 420. I wouldn’t like to and go up a size. There is a photo of the setup somewhere on the forum - search “Safefill”

Hi,
The 10kg bottle has the valve higher than the regulator so isn’t recommended. I bought a new 7.5kg bottle and passed on the 10kg.
It fits ok alongside a standard 6kg bottle as insurance when we’re off-grid, but it’s plenty enough for weekends unless going in January!

Just topped up our Safefill after 8 weeks travelling, cooking every day and three weeks off-grid (heavy fridge use). Cost was £4.
Beats the calor equivalent hands down. And 7.5 kg plenty big enough when you can pop in to Morrison’s or Esso for a fill-up.
