Heated hose
DW is talking about camping somewhere ( location currently undetermined) over Christmas. What is the best heated water hose to get. Take into consideration that we are not full timers just a last getaway over the holidays.

Agree a 25ft heated hose is about $75 - would not even use it that often- I use the hose to fill the onboard tanks. No need for a heated hose.
- Leaving any hose hooked up when freezing temperatures are expected isn’t a wise idea. Fill the tank and use the pump.
- I use a piece of heat tape for frozen pipes. Run it along with my hose inside foam pipe insulation. Get long enough so you can also wrap the hydrant.
Many parks will ask you to fill your tanks and disconnect city water if they expect a freeze. - I just use the hose when needed. Don't leave it hooked up. And, if it's that cold, you want to make sure the water supply is on at your destination.
