I have the Alde 3020 heating system and experiencing a consistent loss of fluid amounting to 125ml a month whether or not the caravan is in use. The dealer, Adventure Leisure, which has a vg workshop has had two attempts to trace any leak and I have searched with negative results. Some pipes are hidden behind cupboards etc. I never overfill but just maintain to the correct level on the expansion tank. The caravan is now 2 years old and there are no cold spots in the radiators and the bleed valves do not indicate any air in the system. I chatted with an Alde technician and she felt there were two possible causes, either a slight leak or the original fluid (yellow coloured fluid used by Hymer, was breaking down and evaporating. I wonder if anyone has experienced any evaporation loss. It is not a massive amount - about a glass of wine a month but I am more concerned about any damage that could result to the floor etc.
