The park we are in (for another 5 days) have 28 spots open for the winter. The water service for each site comes out of the ground and sticks up about 2 or 3 feet and then has a frost free handle. The management just wrapped insulation around the pipes and dropped 55 gallon plastic barrels over the tops. I told them I would get my own barrel which I did. I mounted a heat lamp inside plus extra insulation on the pipe, my cord and heated water line then comes out under the barrel. I have been good to go. This morning we watched park maintenance working on two sites down the road that apparently have frozen service. We have come close to zero a couple of nights and today/tonight it is very windy. I suspect the park will be installing heat lamps under all these barrels before the winter is over.
