I have a 2004 registered globetrotter advantage and want to empty just the freshwater tank

I have looked in the tank and can see a large T shaped handle which is folded flat against the floor of the tank and I'm not sure if that is a dump valve

I have a manual but it's for dethleffs MH and caravans and just says "open all outlet valves" but I think it's assumed you want to empty the heating system as well ready for winter storage

Any help appreciated

Alternatively use a tap. Ours is the same have just reminded Drew about draining it down although we will be using it to go to London shortly. Hooray!!

by tap do you mean run the sink? I think that might take some time as the fresh tank is 3/4 full Shocked

ok next question. How do I clean the inside of the tank? It feels a little bit slimey so I'm reluctant to let anyone drink from it.

we are away this weekend so I need to clean it tomorrow night. Thanks for reading

Have you tried a 12 inch metal drill through the side of the body until you get to the water tank?

Jiggle it about on high speed and it should eventuaally empty OK. Use a bit of blue tack to block the hole up afterwards.

decided to use steradent in the tank. Half fill it with some tabs in for the hour drive into the Peak District then a couple of flushes while on site

We have a 25 ltr and a 10 ltr water carrier we can use for a while until we get the pipes clean

Anyone want to talk me out of this plan as I'm a newbie to MH'ing?
