I believe that the latest vans with Whale heating systems no longer have automatic dump valves , that should  stop the problem of dumping water when using van in cold weather.  Could anyone with a new van confirm this.

My 2021 Kingham has manual dump valve. (whale system)

Personally I prefer auto dump because it means I don’t have to worry if I’ve left water in for a few days between trips.

Also the way the dump valve is fitted is very difficult to use as AS have routed the water pipes very tightly to the valve, which means you have to apply quite a bit of force to move the device. Fixing this with some longer pipes is on my To Do list, which probably means I’ll moan about it for years and not actually sort it out 🤣
