Winterised Kingham and drain downs

The winter kit adds lagging to certain places, and has other modifications. But as I understand it, the kit does not obviate the need to drain down all water systems when leaving the van at risk of frost - i.e. when not using it during the winter. There are many threads on what is necessary - and the recent visual aid from PaulMold is an excellent starting point.

The waste tank heater (and fresh tank one) is a small pad which is stuck beneath the external tank, and radiates a little heat so as to help keep the tank from freezing. Because it's a very heavy user of power, it's regarded as essential only to use a heater when connected to mains.  Most of us never bother.

 You baffled me for a moment! Then I spotted it. Yes, spell-checkers can be a real trap!

Cymru = Wales
Cymraeg = Welsh Language
Cymro / Cymraes = Welsh man / woman
Cymric - little used English-language adjective.

But of course, because of the grammatical concept of mutation, these can change (e.g. "A Scotsman and a Welshman" = "Albanwr a Chymro"

I take off my hat to those who have mastered the language as learners.
