Frost :(

[Diggerdi]

Can I still be classed as a beginner after nearly 8 weeks? I'm panicking like mad as we had a frost here last night, this morning the car was frozen over. We haven't drained the motorhome down. I presume the heater will have dumped its water, but do you think a mild-ish frost will have harmed the pipes/taps? You really shouldn't have to think about frost at the end of April in the middle of England (well just above middle).

I'm at a loss to know what to do regarding water. If I don't put much in we keep running out, last time I filled it showed 75% and that takes some getting rid of, other than running it all through the taps and then having to keep emptying the grey waste. And then, where can you empty a full grey tank if you're not on a site with a drive over point. Our grey waste pipe is almost an arms length under the motorhome and I have to lie down to stick a bucket under it and then struggle to get it out. I have fitted a "pond pipe" extension but it will not empty into a bucket because the end of the pipe is then higher than the waste pipe on the tank. What does everyone else do?

Thanks @Diggerdi think I follow that , couple of photo's would be great but only if it's no effort. Have great time, where you off to this week? We're off Tuesday for 8 days around the west coast of Scotland, with a pub stop over in Pooley Bridge on the way up.

Has your tank not got a drain plug? To access ours first we lift the carpet, then we lift the hatch in the floor, then we lift the next hatch in the floor, then, we unscrew the inspection lid on the tank, and, then, we put a hand in and pull out the rubber plug!

Easy access then!

That's me stuffed then, I don't drink wine at all. Horrible stuff

Better not go to France then.

Old French saying:
A meal without wine is like a summer without sun.

Never a truer word spoken

Hmm.... must be for stealth dumping.....

We have the perfect tool for that, press a switch on the dash and the waste dumps.

oops wrong switch "sorry"

Just out of interest Lenny is that switch only operational when the ignition is off or handbrake on, or can it we deployed in full motorway mode

Can be deployed in any mode have to have ignition on to for my service cam to work as I wired all the cameras power via ACC.
Just tried it with hankbrake off & igntion on still works.
I'll have to blame you just dumped my waste on brother in laws lawn.

Update:
Valve closes with engine running so no dribling.
Must have a relay controlled by the ,D+ terminal, there is a Schaudt relay box under the passenger seat that controls all sorts of things via the D+ terminal.
