Winter water

[Yamas]

Sorry don't do much on here, but our van is parked up outside, we have emptied the water ready for cold weather but, I am sure I saw we should leave outlets open. Is that correct?

 

[David and Sally]

Yes. Taps in central position so that hot and cold circuits can vent

Empty all tanks, empty boiler by using the boiler drain valve.
Blow up every tap including shower hose to get out as much water from the pipes as possible, push toilet button until all water is forced out.
Remove shower hose completely, open all mixer taps to open mid position, remove plastic lid on water filter near pump if you have one.
We leave our heating on at 8 degrees to keep the van from freezing as we dont take everything out, so we can normally, just full the fridge & go at any time we get the chance.
Put some clothes pegs, or similar under wiper blades to protect the rubbers from sticking in icy conditions whilst stored.
Check the van periodically to make sure all is well with batteries especially cab battery.

Good luck.

Thanks again, the van is parked up but try and give her a run at least once a week. Just spent Christmas at the beach in New Brighton in her as she was left in Alicante last Christmas on her own. It was bloody freezing x
