Camco 12' Hot Water RV Hose - Drain Freeze Proof - Up to 28.9°C / -28°C - Energy Saving Thermostat & Adapter to Connect Both Ends of Hose (22910)

This heated RV drinking water hose worked perfectly for almost two years – no leaks and kept the water flowing even in very cold weather. One time we lost power during a freeze, and the hose froze solid. So I recommend using a backup power source (UPS or generator) to keep the hose heating in case of power outages. Overall, a great product!

I installed it about 2 weeks ago, after reading negative reviews, I was prepared for the worse. I did as instructed, kept the thermostat sensor next to the water source and plugged both ends, however the middle of the body of the house was lightly still coiled. When I tried, the water was leaking from under the insulation, where connected to the water source, just as I saw it in the negative reviews. Then I remembered, the instruction clearly say, the house must be uncoiled, so I disconnected, and stretched it out completely in a straight line taking out any kinks, then I took the ends and plugged them in the outlet and inlet. Tested it again and NO LEAK, it works perfectly. That night, it was 25F degrees, the hose was warm to the touch and no leak (the pressure in my sink faucet doubled, I suppose my old hose was not as efficient as new one, etc...). So, it works. I must say, that the instructions, indicate that the heating element turns on below 50F degrees, my hose. turns on when it it is below 35F roughly, which is fine.

Needed for camping in the South during cold weather. It kept my water from freezing overnite. In addition, if using for rv'ing you will need something to cover the connection at the rv (used a portion of a pool noodle). We also used a heat tape to wrap the water tap and water pressure regulator. Good quality hose and keeps incoming water from freezing.

good
