Key differences between Caravan and Hardware Gas bottles;

Mounting & installation

Caravan Gas Bottle
Must be mounted in a dedicated LPG locker or external draw bar, vented to outside, and installed by a licensed gas fitter (or at least meet caravan/RV furniture & gas installation standards).
Hardware Gas Bottle
Often just a swap/exchange bottle or smaller cylinder for BBQ/camping. Generally used upright in open outdoor settings, possibly less stringent mounting.

Bottle type & size

Caravan Gas Bottle
Can include larger capacity (e.g., 9 kg, 4 kg) and sometimes “Grade 2” cylinders for caravan use, or specialised composite bottles to reduce weight.
Hardware Gas Bottle
Typically, smaller/kits for BBQ or camping, e.g., 4 kg, 8.5 kg exchange bottles from Bunnings.

Valve/fitting type

Caravan Gas Bottle
Often uses regulator, pigtail hose, correct fittings for caravan installation (e.g., 3/8″ SAE or 3/8″ BSP LH depending). Must meet RV/camper regulations.
Hardware Gas Bottle
The swap bottles may use standard valve types like LCC27 or bayonet style typical for domestic BBQ/portable use.

Use‐case / appliance load

Caravan Gas Bottle
Designed to supply multiple appliances (fridge, water heater, cooktop) while travelling. Must be secure to road-vibration, etc.
Hardware Gas Bottle
Often just for a BBQ or camping stove, lighter duty, maybe less robust mounting/installation required.

Safety & compliance

Caravan Gas Bottle
Because movement, vibration, mounting on vehicle/trailer, must comply with vehicle & gas installation regulations (venting, mounting, securing etc).
Hardware Gas Bottle
While still needing to be safe, perhaps less complex mounting, more straightforward domestic use.

Exchange/ownership model

Caravan Gas Bottle
With caravans you might own the cylinder and refill it (or exchange), but you must ensure correct grade, mounting, etc.
Hardware Gas Bottle
With Hardware “Swap’n’Go” type you often exchange the bottle for a refill; you might not own the cylinder long-term.

Cost & convenience

Caravan Gas Bottle
Installation/fit-out may cost more due to mounting, regulators, hose, securing, venting.
Hardware Gas Bottle
More convenient for casual usage, widely available via retail stores, cheaper install upfront.

Colour

Caravan Gas Bottle
Grey In Colour – Aesthetically blends in with modern Caravans.
Hardware Gas Bottle
Cream – Not Appealing on modern caravans.

A "grade 2 gas bottle" refers to a gas cylinder with a durable, higher-quality coating designed for extended use, particularly in demanding environments like commercial or marine applications. The "Grade 2" designation describes the surface finish, which is typically achieved by abrasive blasting, a base coat, and a zinc-rich topcoat for superior corrosion resistance. These are distinct from the standard "Grade 4" or domestic cylinders, offering greater longevity.
