I was at the dealer yesterday, chatting away, he mentioned that he had stocked up on a pump part £8.99 ready for in his words "the deluge of MH owners who will be calling after the temp drops"
I think it called a water filter, it's fitted to the the water pump, it's a plastic dome and he said that what happens is a small amount of condensation inside it, freezes and cracks the plastic.
He suggested removing it (simply screws off) and putting it in the sink so when you next come to use the van you don't forget it's off. Some people just loosen it, but you have to remember to tighten it up.
Thought I'd share this info with you all.
Strangely since buying our van in November we've only had one night of frost. I have a feeling feb/march may be chilly!
