How to run hot water to outside?

Question

We are purchasing a lot in a camping community where we will leaving the camper all the time (not living in it fulltime).

We will be installing a metal carport over it and building a deck alongside the camper.

Wife wants an "outdoor dishwashing area", and I want to know how to run hot water to it? Where is the best place to run the line from?

Thanks

If you're not susceptible to freezing, just hook up to the low point drain of the hot water line. It's hanging outside, under the trailer somewhere.
Or put a tee in it so you can still use it as a low point drain.

Low point drain that is on hot plumbing line.
Can do same for cold water.

Low point drain lines are pressurized when on city water or pump

Don't forget to add another drain port at end point so all of the line can be drained if needed

Put a "Y" on your hose connection and run a hose over to where you want water. Then buy an instant hot water heater that runs off of Propane - BINGO

This is the one I use, I bought mine at Home Depot but here it is listed at Walmart: Eccotemp-L5-Portable-Tankless-Water-Heater $119.
