POLL NOW CLOSED – Thanks to everyone who voted<\/p>\n

Draining down your static caravan or holiday lodge is a must during the winter months to prevent things like frozen and burst pipes.<\/p>\n

\"Draining<\/p>\n

It’s also a condition of your static caravan insurance policy<\/a> with Leisuredays to drain down from November 1st to March 15th to protect your holiday caravan from damage and to make sure you’re fully covered, when it’s left unoccupied.<\/p>\n

In our new community poll, we’d like to know how you’ve drained down your holiday caravan when you leave it unoccupied overnight or when closing up for winter.<\/p>\n

Do you do it yourself, get the park to arrange it, or do you call in the experts? Vote by clicking one of the options below and if your chosen method of draining down is not listed then simply comment in the box below.<\/p>\n

We’ll report back the results in January 2024.<\/p>\n

And if you’re unsure of what to do then check out our handy video which explains the importance of draining down your static caravan in winter<\/a> and goes through the steps to take.<\/p>\n
