Early in my existence, I worked for an RV dealer and we had a couple with a TC come in for some work in January. We has a WE lot for him. The water tap was on the side of the shop. Because of how he had parked, he had his hose laid out straight. In the morning, he said he had now water. I unscrewed his hose and we had water there. He unscrewed his hose and went to roll it up. The crackling should have been a hint. We laid it down in the shop and as it thawed it leak from every one of about a dozen cracks in the hose.
At the same place, but about a month later, a yard guy left a hose out overnight. I saw it as I came in and picked it up gently to unscrew the nozzle. It was turned up a bit where it had been left. Shortly before noon, there was a commotion out it the side lot and people running for cover. It seems the thawed hose was now shooting ice pellets at the people that were looking at a TT out there. I thought the water was off and the valve just frozen. I guess I was wrong.
