hi

when we leave a site we always drain our hot water tank by flipping the drain switch by the heater.  This lets the water straight out onto the ground.  As i was doing this on Friday the Warden shouted to me that i had a leak under my van.  I explained that i was draining the hot water tank and he got quite irate with me saying that he had never seen this before, that it shouldn't "just come pouring out onto the ground" and that i must have a leak as he said that no van he had ever seen let the water straight out!!!  Even when I switched the drain off to show him he still insisted that we had a problem.  We thought that we were normal - where is the water supposed to go?  It left me quite upset - not the way to finish a weeks holiday - as he was virtually shouting at me!  (i always drain the water when cold)

 Mine also,helpful warden in need of updating & tact  LOL

Hot water kills the grass but if you were draining it when it was cold there should have been no problem with the warden.Some older vans have a drain plug by the vent and has to be unscrewed and only flows out slowly.
