Well I have just packed up my caravan for winter after cancelling the Christmas trip in it, we are staying at the in-Laws instead ahhhhhhh,
Now being the tight wad I am I did not want to spend out £50 on a water drain down kit. So This is how I did it….
Attach hose pipe connector to shower fitting

With the drain valve open and all other taps closed it's a simple job to pump all the water back to the drain valve…..and out.... just keep below 15 psi
I also use this hose attachment and a hose to fill the toilet top tank, saves a lot of time filling with watering cans or bottles or as once I saw someone walking 30 to 40 times to the tap with a mug and using that.
