Once had a frozen sewer hose and learned a hard lesson. Don't touch it! It just comes apart in pieces. When it thaws you then have a real mess. A neighbor in a Lawrence, KS rv park had his freeze in December when we were there and his came apart the same way soon as he touched it.
Now I do as Orv said. In freezing weather I open valves only to dump and then close them. Then I walk the hose to make sure it's empty. I also try to arrange a downward slope with no dips, when possible, although walking it will suffice.
In other words, it's full of ice. We've had our sewer hoses down to 5 below zero, fahrenheit, and they've not bee a problem so long as they were empty. No problem touching them then. When we left Lawrence it was around 24 degrees and I had no problem disconnecting and putting away the hose other than my hiney was freezing.
