Hello,
I've read a few things in magazines and on websites over the last year about draining down for winter. What I'm unsure about is whether this something that has to be done or if not, why people do it? We would like to keep using the van (occassionally) over the winter but as far as I know the water tanks are not insulated.
All I've assumed is damage can be done if you leave water in the pipes? If it has to be done, what exactly is it that needs to be drained? The simplest thing I can think of is it run the taps til the tank is empty then drain the outside valve. Some expert advice would be appreciated as the temperature has dropped quite significantly this week and I'm mindful not to damage the van I've only had for 3 weeks!
Thanks :thumb:
