If there is water running under the Couple Cottage (Knaus Boxlife 600), there are several things that can be checked:
- Make sure the fresh water tank drain is closed. Attention! There are two levers that open the tank, make sure both are closed!
- Make sure the waste water tank is closed.
- Make sure the cold protection valve is not active. You can find it underneath the back seat. On the corridor side, you will find a small door:
- In there is the cold protection valve:
The cold protection (or anti freeze) valve automatically drains the boiler when there is a risk of frost. This prevents the drain from freezing.
The system measures the temperature inside the van. As soon as it is around 3 degrees or lower the system is activated and lets all the water that was in the boiler and the fresh water tank out. To deactivate the system, the room temperature has to be a least 7 degrees, otherwise the blue button will jump out again.
To ensure that the water supply continues to function and the valve is switched on, the blue lever must be turned clockwise and then the blue button must be pressed in.

Check and close the valves under the floor near the kitchen. They are in the cupboard between the bed and the kitchen:
