Ladies and gents, heeeelp please! Showing our complete lack of experience in the caravan game, we are wondering if we should rely on exchange gas bottles or carry our own for re-filling on a trip over the Nullarbor and beyond? Any advice much appreciated.

I came across Woody from 'Woody and Sue' while going into a little cafe for morning tea with friends today. I said "g'day woody' but he didn't bother saying g'day back. The cat must have got his tongue I reckon.

Should I install an extra fuel tank?
(Preview)
I could put this in with the other thread about carrying extra fuel, but that would be stealing the post. I have a tray top ute, and under the tray, I would have room to install a 60 litre diesel tank. I don't want to have to carry jerry cans, as diesel fuel is smelly and messy at its best.
