Winterising your van? - Page 3

Winterising a boat is similar to a caravan, but there is more moisture around you, I use 4 water apsorption crystal packs, and top them up.
The biggest risk is the Paloma water heater, you have to drain this fully and I slacken the 4 screws on the water temperature valve, since one winter it froze and bent the assembly.. £40 for a new one and few spares available now.
