Hi there all.
I'm at the moment on a farm in Sedgefield. I found this site by accident (the forum not the farm in sedgefield). I cannot get my hot water working, the van has been standing since October and when I put the tap to hot it stops and runs out under the van!! Any ideas? X

Hello and welcome from West Midlands. ?The drain tap does seem the most obvious place to start. Do you know what you are looking for? Many motorhomes have an automatic one which opens below a certain temperature thereby protecting the boiler.

Likely to be the boiler auto dump valve. Has anyone opened the water drain tap from the taps?

If it was full of water last autumn then it may have frozen and split a hose or connection.

Alternately someone may have drained the tank for the winter. This is not the same drain tap as above.
Welcome!

Since 1964 Gosh that makes me feel old.
Pop your heating on & crank it up a bit & preferably leave the cushions off of the area where the valve is.
Once the temp climbs the valve will stay closed when you try it.

Good luck...Robert

If you have a hair dryer use that to heat the valve up a bit quicker.
