Caravan Drain Down

It is very important to drain down your caravan at the end of the season as it will prevent frost damage to the pipe work and appliances. There are a few different types of water heater depending on your caravans age. As a guide, pre 2000 will more that likely be a Carver Cascade MK 2.

This will have a large square flue housing on the side of your caravan with the drain down valve situated in the lower left hand corner. To drain down the cascade, remove this plastic threaded bung.

On newer models there will be a quick drain down valve, flip this 90 degrees and leave open. Do not replace the drain down bung as this will damage the non return valve situated behind it.

Open all the taps to allow free movement of any water left in the system. Place the shower head as low as possible to remove water from the shower tube.
