I like the idea of - when you know you will have questionable overnight temps - of filling your fresh water tank, unhook and drain your water hose (I just left mine lay on the ground stretched out last night - 21 degrees here in the NC mountains). Use your internal pump and supply. When the temps warm back above freezing the next day, hook the hose back up to the city water.
That way I avoid buying heat tape. This system could work for a few days as well, if the temps don't rise high enough. We can run 3 days on a 62 gal fresh water tank, before refilling and repeating if necessary. Your tank systems and plumbing are all heated with your furnace.
Nothing like that panic feeling that rushes through you when you throw your faucet on in the morning and not even a drip comes out...
