Keep fresh water flowing at your campsite even when temperatures plunge well below freezing. The Camco 22920 combines a drinking-water-safe hose with a built-in, self-regulating heat cable that actively prevents ice formation down to -40 deg F -- no thermostat, no extra controller, just plug in and connect.
Winter camping and full-time RVing in cold climates create one consistent headache: a frozen water hose that cuts off your supply at the worst possible time. The Camco 22920 solves that at the source. A self-regulating heat element runs the full length of the hose, automatically increasing heat output as temperatures drop and backing off as conditions warm -- so it never overheats and draws only the power it actually needs.
The hose itself is manufactured to drinking-water standards: phthalate-free, BPA-free, and lead-free, with CSA low-lead certification and NSF/ANSI 372 compliance. Heavy-duty machined, nickel-plated fittings resist corrosion from season to season. A rugged PVC outer jacket protects both the water hose and the electrical components from abrasion and weather exposure.
No thermostat required. The heat element automatically adjusts output based on ambient temperature, preventing overheating and saving energy.
Engineered to keep water flowing in extreme cold -- suitable for high-altitude, northern, and mountain winter camping conditions.
BPA-free, phthalate-free, and lead-free construction. NSF/ANSI 372 certified and CSA low-lead content compliant for potable water use.
Machined, nickel-plated brass fittings resist corrosion. Female-to-male adapter included so either end can serve as the water source connection.
Many budget heated hoses use a fixed-output heat cable that runs at full power regardless of temperature. The Camco 22920 uses a self-regulating element: as the hose gets colder, resistance in the heating element decreases and output increases. As ambient temperature rises, output drops automatically. This means:
The 22920 plugs into any standard 120V AC campground pedestal outlet using its 18 AWG power cord. The cord includes an LED indicator plug so you can confirm at a glance that the hose is receiving power. Heat output is rated at 10 watts per foot, putting the full 12-foot hose at approximately 120 watts draw -- comparable to a standard incandescent bulb and well within typical 15-amp or 20-amp campground circuits.
