KISS Theory:
1. Fill fresh water tank.
2. Disconnect hose. AND drain the hose.
Hold hose above your head and work the hose up and over. That completely drains it. Then you can just leave it on the ground outside.
3. If you have an inline filter attached to spigot be sure to take it off and bring it inside.
If you're camping in a place where it snows, leaving the hose on the ground outside is not the greatest idea assuming you'll want to find it again before springtime. Some hoses also get rather inflexible when sufficiently cold.
