Freeze Proof Heated Water Hose,

Cold enough to freeze water hose I always run off fresh water tank and on-board pump.

If my hose can freeze.......will the water supply freeze also??

yep, guess it could, but we were fortunate and pedestal didn't freeze ...I don't see how my cheap little set up worked, setting out in the zero degree temps with a wind chill around -5 or so and I paid about $15 for my hose insulation and outside faucet cover.... ( water dripping out of a faucet inside the rv is the key:))

Home-made version, heat tape and pipe insulation. Used three winters, laid in/under snow temps to -7 and did not freeze. Total cost not including hose about 30 dollars.

I could have made my own but this season instead of running off the fresh water tank and refilling. I bought a Pirit heated hose, Can say its worked down to zero or below so far this season, very happy to have it its been great. Pirit says theirs is tested to -40, been below freezing most nights and many days where I am since 1st week of December. I know of 2 other in the same park as I that are also using Pirit hoses.

I have used one in my food concession business in temps down to 15 degrees with no problem.they are expensive though about $140 for a 50 foot

Must be something like this one from google search - Never played with one.. Looks like you just plug it into 120VAC... Cost is $120

Never used one, though it sounds expensive. Alway's used hose insulation like one would get for a water hose at Lowes or Home Depot....When we camped this past thanksgiving and temps. got down to zero with a brisk wind on top of that, I alway's leave the faucet dripping water, it's alway's helped to keep from freezing up the line.
