I’ve searched the threads but can’t find anything specific to my problem. I had a hot shower yesterday morning but I’ve only got hot and cold water at the kitchen sink and only cold water at the shower and bath room sink now. Just noticed yesterday afternoon after work which was the warmest part of the day, around 20 degrees.
In this cold weather I would normally think that a line would be frozen somewhere but how could only one be frozen between point A and point B? Aren’t they right next to one another?
It’s a 2019 Imagine 2500RL.

I’ve been keeping the water dripping in the bathroom sink to keep it from freezing. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Just an FYI, dripping water is not necessarily a good idea. If it's cold enough outside, your sewer hose can freeze, creating a block preventing water flow from the gray tank. Water can then back up, and fill the gray tank, creating a big mess.

Perhaps the bathroom line runs near a hole in the underneath and that puts it more at risk of freezing.
 
By any chance have you used the outside shower for anything? If those valves are left open (with the coiled hose detached), that faucet acts like a mixer and you won't get hot water. Then again, the Imagines are not designed for use in temps like you're describing. As others have suggested, don't keep water dripping and keep your waste tanks closed except to empty them. Don't rely so much on the electric fireplace and space heaters that the main furnace doesn't cycle.

Some more experienced guys from work and staying at the same campground are going to help me drain/flush and winterize this evening. I’ll be hoteling it tonight and they’re closing the job down until Wednesday of next week. Hopefully nothing is damaged. I appreciate the advice and I’ll post back in a week or so in the status.
I’m not crazy about these single and below zero digits. It’s bad enough working out in this cold and windy weather but having to go “home” to no water afterwards just makes it even worse.
Thanx again.
