camp2canoe, we carry an extra length of hose and have had to use it once at a site with a community hydrant. Having a Y splitter valve helps in that situation as there is still a way for others to get water while you are hooked up to the faucet. DW wrapped that hose with foam pipe wrap (buy it at home depot ect. in 5 foot lenghts) and wrapped the stuff with duck tape. We have used that hose for the past 2 weekends while out camping and didn't have a problem with freezing. I was curious when you said disconnecting wasn't an option. Since the holding water tank is inside the main cabin could you not have filled the onboard storage tank and used that during the night?
