Going to be traveling in some cooler weather and at least one of the parks we are going to requires freeze free water hoses after November 1st. Has anyone had much experience with these or do you just use heat tape of some sort with a standard rv water hose?
The freeze free hose is pretty expensive so I was curious as to whether it is popular or not.
Thanks.
Just make one - Heat tape - Hose Pipe insulation - Bib cover - Simple.

If you are into visiting Beautiful Sites, then the Off Season is Great - Less Crowded - More Animals - Just a great time to Go.
