Avoiding freezing water hose..
Night before last we were in Myrtle Beach and it was cold..cold, cold. I got up in the middle of the night for a bathroom trip and no water. I got dressed and went outside, about 4am, and everything...

HOW COLD IS COLD? Down to the mid-20's the trickle method works perfectly fine, assuming full hookups. Low 20's and below, you do risk freezing up your dump hose and need to look at using just the on-board water tank.

I got dressed and went outside, about 4am, and everything from the water inlet to the ground where the spigot is located was frozen solid. The inside of the RV was not frozen, for all the good it did. They say, leave the water dripping. But, what about the gray tank? Do you leave the valve open and risk that freezing as well or, risk over filling the gray tank? The valve for the gray tank was frozen shut as well.. The next day, late morning, I went out there with a hair dryer and got the water going again. By about 2pm the gray water handle started working.
So, what is the solution to keep the water flowing in freezing weather?
