Hi There,

We have just changed our van to the above (546 model). Really pleased with the van.

The van has a drop down door where you pour the pink liquid in readly for the flush (my old Adria had a screw cap you had to remove to fill the flush).

Dealer advised that this had to be drained down when in tranist - is this really the case as it seems a bit of a job to do every time we move site.

WHat do other Bailey owners do - do you leave some in or drain down every time.

Thanks in advance

Darren

Why travel with water in a tank that you dont need which in turn increases your payload. Every little helps as you find the payload on a caravan is not much

ed as helps a little to counteract noseweight.

Surely not if you've loaded it properly? Always empty

In all the year we have had c/vans and M/vans with separate flush tanks we have never emptied them when traveling ,or had any issues with them "leaking" and that includes our latest Bailey,and why would I want to empty a chemical based water on to the pitch before leaving the sites

Unless we are putting into storage we always travel with a few litres in. However, when draining down, I always pump whatever is left in the tank into the cassette. The few drips that are left you can drain via the tube into a container, although in practice there is never enough remaining to be an issue.

You dont empty onto the pitch you empty in the proper place which is not on the pitch
