We are considering having the Vantech coating applied to our van and would like some feedback on whether or not it warrants the cost and how long it lasts. I have done a search on the topic but there aren't any posts on this site. Appreciate any comments.

In my Coromal pop top I have a Truma LPG/240v HWS, which I am told by the Coromal agent that sold me the van does not have a sacrificial anode like other HWSs. My question is do I have to drain the tank when the van is sitting around for a few months?
