Our M/H is fitted with a Webasto Dual Top Evo 6 Diesel Heater.
The Auto-drain to prevent frost damage to the boiler is a bit over sensitive, and dumps the water if the temperature gets below about 5° or 6°. That means that some recent cold (but not icy) mornings it has dumped the water in the night.
I have read that some people use a clothes-peg on the safety valve to prevent draining. Does anyone know if it is possible on the Webasto unit? When draining, the water dribbles from a Ø40 mm hole in the base of the unit. I assume the dump valve is recessed in there.
Thanks, John.
