Here's the issue, how do I manage my waste water tank in winter?
I work away from home in the week and I have just started using my motorhome as my accommodation.
I'm on a long term pitch and therefore not moving the van ( no service point anyway).
My tank is under slung but there is a heated vent to hopefully prevent it freezing. As I'm new to this and have no experience of winter camping I'm unsure of the best way forward.
Do I keep the tank closed and heated and drain and empty when required or should I keep the tank open so it just drains?
If I do the latter what's the best container to go for and how do I cope with freezing temperatures?
I know these are all probably ridiculous questions but I'm worried about freezing pipes/ damage.
Any suggestions welcome
