Cold weather & water tank cleaning.

[daventess]

We've just bought a motorhome and are itching to take it out. But with the weather being freezing and all, we want to be able to easily remove all the water when we've had our weekend/week long fun.

There are several products, from electric pump style gadgets to things like this (by floe).

What do people recommend? We'd probably prefer something manual (so we don't have yet another electrical gadget to break when we least need it to).

Do you not have a drain tap?. If not probably worth fitting one?

I believe so, but is it enough just to let the water drain out? Or should it be "power-flushed" out to avoid cold damage?

Sorry, but I really am clueless on this!

I have only ever drained the water tank and boiler. Left taps open and blown down the shower hose.
