If the overnight low is 28F or 30F do you really disconnect the water hose outside? I am doing it now but am wondering if i am being abundantly cautious. At what temp do you disconnect outdoor plumbing while staying in the rig?
Freezing is freezing. You don't have to disconnect, but you really should! Anytime I get into cold weather I hook up to water, fill the tanks, disconnect from water and then repeat as necessary. I drain the hose so I can either stow it or leave it but either way there is nothing in the hose other than air so who cares where the hose sits. With a drained hose I can reconnect to water at any time. Assuming the water source is not frozen you will be able to reconnect your hose, fill, drain, disconnect and stow (or not). You will then use the on-board water pumps to drink, shower and clean.
