Mel B Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Remove any bottles containing fluid ... if they freeze and pop their tops they'll make one heck of a mess! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGD Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Braunston - A good and well-advised list. Unless you and your MH live in Spain, in which case the weather is now just about right for forays around the country in your motorhome. (Too damn hot until now). ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Madge Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 We had a problem one year when it was extremely cold and water was left in the pipes. Now if I drain down the water system I take the head off the shower and blow down the pipe, leave all the taps open and the remaining water will drain out. Also U Bends under the sink, drain those as well. The best way to solve the problem is head for the winter sun. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
