also keeps the water fresh .I have got into the habit of draining down after every trip.

My van was converted 6 years ago and the boiler drain tap was badly fitted and finished up inside the van. So if I drain I will flood the van. Being new to campervaning I did not notice until a few years later. Anyway, I have never drained the boiler and it works well every year. Again, I did not know you had to drain it until I saw post on this site.Have you stopped draining down now when your MH is not being used given that it's April, or do you carry on until there is zero chance of a frost?

I’m pleased mine has the dump valve then if I ever forget to dump the Truma boiler water the valve will do it for me saving potential damage to the boiler.I keep draining until there is no longer a chance of frost, usually late May up here. Bentley removed the auto dumping when they built the vans, I’m glad that they did. I do have a little heater which should prevent freezing, but drain anyway as “belt and braces”. From June to September I only drain if the van is out of use for more than a week, just to keep the water fresh.

Why do people disable the dump valves ?
