Any ideas from you wonderful knowledgeable people out there?  The push drain valve is absolutely stuck.

If you mean something like this you have to push the outer ring firmly against the fitting and pull.

Many thanks you are exactly right - hubby went to Kings Mill Caravans and a very helpful assistant gave him the answer too.

Folks

I'm also hitting the same issue here and I've got the same push fit adapter as on the web page quoted.

However, the outer ring seems to not want to move backwards towards the fitting. Is it a case of having to be quite brutal with the fitting?? I do not want to damage anything.

I guess I am not getting the 'knack' but wondered if there are any hints and tips. The caravan is a 4yr old sprite but this is my first time wintering it having bought it in the summer.

I find it best to apply equal pressure to opposite sides of the ring as it will jam if the ring gets lop sided, also make sure that the pipe is aligned to the fitting properly i.e. parallel to the sides of the fitting's hole - they are good fittings but can be a pain at times when they are in a difficult to get at place
