CARE OF YOUR CARAVAN
DRAINING DOWN YOUR WATER SYSTEM.
It is essential that you drain down your caravan
water system when it is not in use. This is most
important during winter months to protect against
frost damage.
1. Disconnect the water pump and switch of
power supply.
2. Open the safety drain valve on the water
heater located next to the water heater.
3. Open all taps and remove all plugs from
sinks and showers. Lever operated taps
should have the lever put into the up
position.
4. Where fitted open the internal drain valves.
5. Open the drain outlets on the outside of your
caravan.
6. If an inboard water tank is fitted ensure that
the drain tap on the tank is open.
7. Adjust the level of the caravan to ensure that
the drain outlet is at the lowest point of the
caravan. This will aid the flow of water to
ensure all water is drained off.
8. After 30 minutes level the caravan and
prepare it for storage if necessary.
