Hi,

Can anybody tell me where the drainage tap is for the 10 litre water tank on a Lunor Lexor EW?  I haven't been able to find it and need to winterise the van.

Thanks

... is there anything else we should be doing to make sure the van is fully drained? We always leave the taps open when in storage but open these after the pump is disconnected and turned off so I was just a bit worried about water remaining in the pipes leading to the taps?

Thanks Paul, so we don't need to worry about water in the tap pipes then? We were just worried that although we always drian the tank there might be water left in the pipes........does this just drain out?

Good point about the pump, we always drain the flush tank but I didn't think about pumping the handpump until its clear.

We always use one of those sonic mouse things as well - always set up in the van during the winter months or during long periods of non-use while in storage ....  never had a problem with the mice as yet so hopefully, these things do actually work.   Mice can cause a great deal of damage to the van, gnawing wires and pipework as well as nesting in your seating!!!!   Never leave any foodstuffs  of any kind in the van and remove all paper/nesting materials.

If you have the space at home, it's a good idea to remove all upholstered cushions etc. if you can...but as I say, not everyone has the space to store these at home during the winter.   We just move ours away from the outside walls of the van before putting on the van cover.

We never lay up the van - use it all year round including Xmas and New Year.

But if you do need to lay it up please make sure you empty the loo and the flush. Also, if possible, move the van every few weeks (just a couple of feet) to help your tyres. It is a good idea to take as much out of the van as possible but remember to make sure it is all ready and properly working next time you use it. Many a weekend across the country ruiined by unchecked vans.
