Winter is around the corner and you should have drained down your static caravan or lodge for the cold season ahead.<\/p>\n

Static caravans and lodges can be very vulnerable to the cold weather, and any residual water can easily freeze, causing pipes or taps to burst, plus an expensive repair bill for your holiday home.<\/p>\n

If you’re using your static caravan throughout the winter and your park is still open then you’re probably not going to need to drain down (although it’s still important to take certain precautions<\/a> such as turning off the water at the stopcock). But if your park is now closed and you’re not going to be heading back until Spring then you need to have drained down. Or may be you’re going to be draining down soon…?<\/p>\n

In this month’s community poll we’d like to know if you have drained down yet?<\/p>\n
