We are camping tomorrow in North Carolina and it?s going to get below freezing at night. Lows of 26 and 29 at night, highs in the low 50?s.

We had a bad experience last year when the temps got to 4 degrees and stayed freezing during the day. We froze our fresh water tank, but no damage to lines.

I?m considering investing in a heated water hose before I go. Assuming I get that, do I just leave that hooked up and on and not worry about anything? Do I need to leave a faucet running at a drip like I would do in a house?https://myip.kim/ https://birthdaywishes.onl/ https://elecpay.in/tneb/


Any other advise? We are in a 26 foot trailer, not a cold weather edition. Thanks.
 
Assuming the heat is on in the camper you're probably fine at those temps. You might just consider filling the water tank as necessary then disconnecting the hose rather than buying a heated hose
 
Fill your tank with a conventional hose and then put the hose away. 
 
Let me be the 1st to welcome you to the forum.
How long do you plan on living in the RV?  If you spend the entire winter in it, you may want to take other precautions to prevent freeze ups when and if it gets colder.

When freezing overnight temps are expected I turn off the campground water and disconnect my water hose for the night.
