Use the heat tape method with foam insulation. We have a 25 foot hose and a 30ft tape. The extra tape on one end is left out in the compartment the hook ups are in and the end with the thermostat is wrapped around the spigot. The campground we are at now has both frost free and pvc piped spigots. Ours is PVC so we covered it with a trash can. We have had no issues and had temps in the teens several times. If you read the reviews on the heated hoses, and then add the price of the hose, save yourself some money. When the weather warms, I change to another hose and take the foam off the hose with the heattape and store it with it still attached. Gives me the chance to inspect the tape.
