💧 Water leaking under the camper and cold protection valve - Cozy Cottage (Knaus VAN TI PLUS)

If water leaks from under the vehicle, this can have various causes:

  • Please check whether the levers of both tanks are closed.
  • It might be that the frost protection valve is open. It is also located in the service box on the driver's side - far right:

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.

  • Boiler valves accidentally open?
