Heated hose

Post by KYAvion »

Made a new heated hose today out of 3/4” HDPE pipe, Pex fittings, aluminum foil, and heat tape. And yes, what appears to be sloppy ends on the electrical tape was intentional so I can remove it easily if needed.

Sounds like you are embarking on some serious cold weather camping. Are there enough campgrounds open that have running water to camp sites in below-freezing conditions?

This is at some property we own at the Red River Gorge in KY. I use the Avion regularly throughout the winter there.

Winters aren’t bad—usually no less than 0, and that’s a rarity. That said, I’d like to make some storm windows and possibly a skirt someday.
