Heated water hose

I would describe it as being "not as cold" as other outside objects. It just has to be a few degrees above freezing to keep the water inside the hose from freezing and excessive heat would waste energy, increase the draw on the electrical circuit, and degrade the materials in the hose faster. Our utilities are inside a heated bay on the fifth wheel so that end is protected. I made an "envelope" out of Reflectix/bubble foil that fits over most water standpipes at campgrounds. I attach the pressure regulator and water hose to the standpipe, wrap some extra foam around things, slide the envelope down over it, and secure everything with bungee cords - doing my best to use one as a purse string around the bottom of everything. The last few nights, this setup has done fine in temp in the teens at night.
