If it is FULLY drained down, no. Why would you want to heat the outside if not to avoid damage from ice expansion?

Hi Dave, thank you for reply. Being new to all this, I asked as it seemed to me, if the boiler, tanks, and all water system is empty, then why do some put heaters on?
Kind Regards
Julie

Well I'm not new, but that's a damned good question if they do
Like chapter, I do use one, set on a frostat because in my case I never drain the hot water tank, nor the loo flush pipes or shower head etc., but do dump the fresh tank and leave taps open after each trip.
chapter, where does the water come from that makes your bedding damp?

I have a small radiator on in the van at this time of year. I keep all of the lower cupboard doors open to stop any water that is still lying in the system from freezing up (having had that experience in the past)
I also find that it helps to keep the bedding aired. The van is parked in an area that gets very little sun at this time of the year and any damp air that gets in through the vents tends to hang about and condense or whatever the clever term is.
