Can anyone help with this simple problem?
We Have an Adria Coral, current model, and I cannot find how to drain the fresh water tank. I am sure there has to be a simple valve to open, but where is it?
Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Alan

I am not familiar with your model. However, the fresh water tank on the Adria Twin was onboard under a seat. To empty it you had to remove a cap on the top, put your hand inside and pull out the plug. A bit of a pain but the design allowed a perfect drain down.

I've done the same but just thunk that there must be an easier way than listening to the pump chuntering away dumping maybe 60 or 70 litres!

On my Chausson there is a threaded cap in the bottom of the water tank. Its accessed fom outside underneath the van and is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. It unscrews just like a bottle cap and you usually get a wet sleeve when doing so! Very Happy

I cannot find any mention of it in the handbook and I am sure the dealer knows but we are in France now and it was easier to put an appeal here than to spend the dosh to phone England!

Thanks to all who have replied.

Cheers

And what are you doing up at this time of day Cabbie? I thought you slept the daylight hours and came out after midnight for Night Owls Laughing

I think Rowley is the closest...

OK, Our Coral is from 2007 so...

Under the forward facing seat...

Remove the upholstery, remove the circular wooden lid, remove the large screw cap, probably with two hands... then

Put your arm into the freezing cold water in the tank and search for something like a large wine bottle stopper...

Raise the handle to release it and lift clear. Listen for the water discharging.



To refit, damp the rubber stopper, insert into the hole if you can find it, then fold down the handle to seal the stopper in place. Refit the lid and upholstery...

Warm hands slowly to avoid chilblains.

Good luck! Rolling Eyes Wink Laughing
