Baby It's Cold Outside !!

[Steven@147]

Woke up at 6 this morning to -2 degrees "F" real feel , actual outside temp 10* in Central Indiana . Hasn't really warmed up yet. Solitude is doing Ok but really no RV is going to stay warm for very long with these temps. We have single pane windows but shrink wrapped the windows to cut off the cold drafts. Doing OK except for our heated water hose that we have had for 4-5 years, can't remember. It's still on but has sprang an internal leak, hose ballooned up like a big fat snake. Went over on fresh tank until we can get a new heated water hose today. Dang $175 of a new heated hose.

Storage bay is staying @ 50 with the inside of the RV at 65* with the propane furnace set to 64*. Augmenting propane furnace with two electric heaters. At least we don't have 5 feet of snow!

Hope y'all are staying warm!

At least you're not in Buffalo, some there got 6 feet of snow.

You'll keep replacing the heated water hose every few years (and never get rid of the plastic taste) until you either build your own or get one of these:

Woof, that's spendy!

It is - but it's the only water hose the pipeline and oil field workers in the "man camps" along the Canadian border use. At the rate I was replacing the Camco heated hoses our first few years of full-timing, I could have bought one of these and been money ahead (and without the awful plastic taste that never really went away).

Rob. I have the Camco heated hose going on season 2. What was the mode of failure that you experienced? Leaking or heater failure? If heater failure, how did you determine it was broken? Thanks for the help. Just planning ahead.

Leaks in both cases - the cheap fittings at either end.

If it makes you feel any better, daughter just told us it's 27 in Whispering Pines, NC. Colder than what my thermometer reads here - but not by much.
