Drain the loo by flushing the top tank until empty, then empty cassette. With cassette out you should see a drain pipe at the top of the loo hatch, undo the bung and drain any remaining fluid into a container.

I usually lubricate the flap and seal with either olive oil or silicon spray and leave the flap slightly ajar one cassette is back in.( You can buy Thetford lubricant)

The water heater needs draining-depending on type.

If is the round one (Truma type) there should be a yellow valve in the pipe run. Open all the taps then put the valve to the vertical position. The tank will drain. Leave the valve and taps open.

The square Carver type have a small plug in the bottom corner on the outside. This needs a half turn with a coin or big screwdriver and pulls outwards to drain-don't lose it!

If you have an inline filter it is worth disconnecting one end to let any water out then reconnect.

Make sure there are no bottles of water etc in the cupboards.

If you don't have a handbook I believe they may be available online-try Bailey website?

... the best way is to open the drain taps when you leave a campground and open all the taps. That way the water gets shaken out as you drive home.
