Nothing to freeze

My initial thought also.

That's a great idea if your 'camping' for a couple nights. A real PITA to do that every night during winter, many many nights will be below freezing.
Looking for ideas from those that full time thru winter.
Spending north of $100 on another hose when I already have 3. nope! :)

I have no idea where you winter in GA but I have been to ST Marys, GA for the winter and I fill water tank and disconnect and drain hose. I think it was 3 or 4 nights from November to April time frame. Like you though I am thinking about a heated hose this year. When I had a mobile home in Charleston, WV I had a heat cable that just stayed warm and did a good job of keeping the water line from freezing. It was just a single cable and I have never been able to find one like it. The Frost King heat tapes, even with a thermostat, get hot. If it happens to move any and gets over lapped it can melt the plastic wiring housing.
