Temp change.

Just a quickie, our van is in storage, over the winter I’ve drained her down( boiler)l but we have been out in her recently,, I didn’t drain the boiler down, but now it looks like we will be just below zero for a night or two,,,do I need to run down and drain her of of should she be ok?

I think if you check the forecast there is not much chance of frost around Dartford. Colder yes and some snow in Shetland but not down your way.

Thanks Jimbo, just checking, rather be sure,

I was about to ask something similar. We are in Leicester and the forecast here is saying down to -1 tomorrow and Thursday nights, with sleet and a moderate breeze during the day a possibility and as we are planning to go away at the weekend not draining down again would be a lot easier. What sort of temperature/duration would you be thinking "this is too risky I'll drain it down again"?
PS our MH does not have a dump valve.

I wouldn’t bother draining. The nights are getting shorter and the sun stronger. I doubt the van will drop to freezing at all, even if it does, it will take hours for anything to freeze and the strong spring sunshine will soon get it up to temp again.
