How long freezing?

How long does it need to be below freezing for damage to likely happen?

I did have one time recently where the outside water line froze and we had to use stored water. It unfroze later in the day, but froze again that night.

As long as it thaws during the day, is there a concern?

If you are in the mh with the furnace running then you should have no issues. It is a good idea to unhook from park water and use onboard water resources.

Do as you wish, but I would turn off the outside water and disconnect any unprotected outside water lines if temps are expected below 25* or so overnight. A frozen hose is not a problem untill it thaws and leaks, but having the hose attached increases the chance of freezing of the faucet.

In my part of the world the third night freeze you'll have damage.
