not sure if you know but draing the fresh water tank will still leave water in the heater and pipes , which if it freezes will crack and cost a lot to fix....
So where the truma boiler is you will find a auto dump lift button RED, just pull this up and open the cold and hot taps in bathroom and kitchen inc the shower with hose lifted to its highest point. THen when water has finished running out unde the van just pull the water tank handle to remove any left inside the tank.
For over winter I leave the tank drain open and heater to to allow ventalation , before use just close.
BUT close all taps after draining to prevent flooding..
We use milton every spring or when it gets slimmy.
thanks Tramp. The object was to clean the tank for us to use the MH over the weekend and to get it ready for a trip to Germany next weekend
We dropped half a pack of steradent tablets in the tank and half filled it with fresh water on Friday night and drove for 45mins to site in the peak district and dumped the water on saturday morning then rinsed and filled with fresh again.
We only used the water in the tank for washing hands/flushing toliets and used a 10ltr carrier for drinking
After next week the MH will be laid up for the winter and everything will be emptied
If I read the Truma instructions correctly the red dump valve will operate automatically if the temp falls below 4c and the heating is not turned on although this is operated from the leisure batteries so will drain the battery over the winter

According to my manual it's for Dethleffs Globecar all taps should be left open after draining the water system down.
But they don't tell you that you have to remove the pump fuse or put an inline switch to prevent the pump working .!

I can highly recommend this:Truma Designed specifically for Motorhomes.
When draining down, don't forget to run your pump until it's dry, to prevent that freezing too.
