Can one or more of you please be very specific about how you wrap your hose? FYI: If I remember correctly (and this was probably overkill), I wrapped the hose with insulation, then used electrical tape to secure the heat tape to the hose already wrapped in insulation. Then I wrapped it AGAIN with the insulation, then wrapped with plastic to keep the whole thing from getting wet when in the snow. Then secured the foam tube around the whole thing with electrical tape again.
In CO during the entire 2009-10 winter, the water in my little 18' TT only froze 5 nights. I'm in Denver again for the entire winter. I will be in the hospital/rehab for several weeks and my 80 yr old mom will be staying in my RV. I do NOT want her to have water trouble and am willing to do overkill if that what it takes. I honestly simply cannot remember exactly what I did before. Your thoughts would be most appreciated!! Oh, and the utilities in this RV park are all UNDER the unit, not to the side like in most parks; therefore, you can't hook/unhook hoses as needed. Thank you!
