* I'm looking for used (i.e. cheap) propane camping appliance. * Does anybody know if propane appliances can be used in Europe? I'm planning a cross-country motorcycle camping trip this fall. It's on a 1983 GoldWing Aspencade, pulling a cargo trailer. For those not familiar with it, think of it as an RV on two wheels! Although we'll be doing some backcountry camping, we'll spend most nights in fairly civilized campgrounds. Since we'll be on the road for so long, and I have the room in the trailer, I want to bring a small propane cylinder (6#) and various propane appliances (lamp, stove and possibly heater) for the convenience. New, every item costs $35-$45, hoses & adaptors about $25 each, and I don't have ANYTHING now. Since we may only do this once, I'm reluctant to spend $200-$300 getting set up. Anybody want to sell their used propane equipment? Tell me what you got and I'll tell you if I can use it. I'm in the SFBay area, and responses to this should be local. Email or call David at 415-988-8789 (hm) or 415-604-4321 (wk). Alternatively, can any of this stuff be used in Europe? We might eventually make a similar trip in Europe. I know that the propane cylinder cannot be transported, even if empty, at least not on an aircraft. But can the rest of the stuff be used there? I.e., can we get a propane cylinder in Europe, and find LP for sale? I'm sure the couplings are English units. Would replacement parts be available, perhaps after buying English-to-metric adaptors? Any help appreciated. Thanks, David
