Winter always brings some trouble

This is our third winter living in the motorhome. It's always the most interesting because of the inevitable plumbing issues that arise. Our motorhome is a 1996 Allegro Bay and not made as well insulated as the newer models. I insulated our incoming water hose better this year and put the shower hose on the floor of the shower and left it running, however it was not running enough to keep our water supply from freezing last week. It's a good thing that we had the holding tank full, so we were fine. Our past year's crisis have been much, much worse. When the hose freezes and it's 20 degrees outside, it's difficult to get the hose thawed out. It has taken us days and lots of creativity to get running water again. Yes, I have learned from experience how to survive the winter. This year the motorhome is also better insulated. I put insulation in the windows and it is much cozier now.
