We have winter camped for 6 years now. The first year I made a hose with heat tape and pipe insulation. Worked fine but was a bear to deal with and coil up. Bought a Pirit and have used is since with no issues and occasionally down to single digits. I set up my in line water filter so it's inside the convenience center so it doesn't freeze and that also means the thermostat is below the heated area so it's measuring the outside temp. As stated running the furnace when it's below freezing is important to keep the basement and plumbing warm. I have measured mine with a remote thermometer and it's stayed at 60 plus degrees when in single digits outside. If at a public CG I shut off the spigot and use onboard water if it's going below freezing overnight. Some CG's will even shut off all water below 20. At our private site I heat taped the spigot so no longer an issue.
