Thanks very much for all the advice. Some interesting information! Sounds like many of the park owners are open minded when it comes to being "creative" during the winter to make things work.
So far we have been fortunate enough to have a freeze proof spigot near the camper. Even when it gets in the minus, I have no problem getting the hose out and filling up the tank. Our basement is carpeted and has a furnace duct hose that runs through it to keep it from freezing. So it helps keep any leftover water in the hose from freezing as well. Our water doesn't usually freeze up until it gets down to the teens or lower. We had a freeze up once. But I figured out a simple way to stop that. Just turn on the shower. But turn off the showerhead to get a small drip. Since then we have never seen a freeze up, even in the single digits.
I am glad to know its possible to set up at one of the parks and keep things working.
