whatsupdoc Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Does anyone know where the lever/tap/button for the hot water tank drain is on a Chausson Flash 04 (2013). I've looked at all of the pipes leading to/from the tank, but no luck. Lowdhams (Chausson dealers, where we bought the van) don't know (surprising?)

whatsupdoc Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Iain Strachan - 2013-11-17 1:57 PM What make of water heater do you have? It's a Truma Ultrastore Rapid GE - the manual shows a safety/drain valve, but, of course, it doesn't say where it's located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Strachan Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 http://www.truma.com/downloadcenter/ultrastore_rapid_installation_instruction.pdf This link should be of help it appears to be on the water input side, on my last truma it was a yellow coloured, leaver. Tucked down the side of the boiler, difficult to get at! Dave, Hope that helps. Cheers Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vindiboy Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 My Chausson Alegro does not have a hot water drain off because it does not store hot water but has a heat exchanger, as cold water passes over the heat exchanger it gets very hot, My water heater is diesel powered,The drain off valve on my van ( cold water storage tank) is situated below the exterior water filler cap under the van. Hope this may help you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Uzzell Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The original posting was duplicated on 17 November and (I believe) answered satisfactorily that same day. http://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/Chausson-Flash-04-hot-water-draining/33221/ (I assume whatsupdoc followed the advice from Mel B and Hawcara provided on the other thread and found the drain-valve?)

Yes, Derek, somehow I was all thumbs and the posting went out twice, so thanks for pointing that out - and thanks to all the replies. I did follow Mel's advice and found the drain lever inside the garage. And I've let Lowdham's know ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
