How to.... Drain down your MH for winter.

Hopefully this will help save you from bursting taps!


First, find your fresh water tank, usually under the lounge or dinette seat ;



Unscrew the big plastic cap if there is one;


And reach in , find the bung or stopper and remove it.


You may have a tap on the outside if you can't find a bung, generally looks something like this ;

You want to have the tap "in line" with the direction of water.


Next, make sure the pump is off , and open all taps. If they are mixer types, turn the handle to the middle.


Very important to take the shower hose and lie it with the hose facing downwards.



Next, find your water boiler, there are 4 common drains on the Truma boilers.
The current type, twist the top til the blue button pops out;


The previous one, make sure the red button is DOWN, it should be automatic but they can stick or get wedged;


Then there's 2 older styles , the manual lever type, plastic or metal bodies , and different colour levers, regardless of type you want the lever pointing UP ;



Or like the one on the BLUE line in this pic ;



It should be noted that some MHs have similar valves for draining the pipes, again any you see, open as above.


Now, go have a cuppa....
