Has anybody got a lunar clubman si and uses it during winter , if you have then you no they are hot water and radiator heating but the heating also does hot water but if it gets cold enough to freeze although the heating has anti-freeze mixed in how can I use it without risking the hot water tank from busting .
We don’t have a caravan but I’ve read other threads on some other things you’ll need to do if it’s freezing - insulating your fresh water aquaroll, for example. I’ve seen them wearing bespoke lagging jackets.
You can search for these other threads, as they might be useful.

Thanks for the replying notes , the water if I didn't want to use my water tank can I isolate but still use heating.
I haven't seen water jackets on water butts but will investigate .
Not sure about isolating the hot water tank, as I think that when you connect the water to the caravan the hot water tank will fill by default. Unless someone can come along and correct me.
If you have the heating on it is highly unlikely that the hot water tank will get cold enough to freeze even if you are not heating it.
Mirage, there are probably thousands of caravans used during the winter, using the Alde system you have in your caravan, as I have in mine.
When you arrive on site, you fill up the water, turn on the hot tap till the water runs freely, you turn the heating and hot water on, and the water in the hot tank eventually comes up to the set temperature.
Hot water can't freeze! If like mine, the hot water is near boiling.
