No Water

My husband and I are full-timing in our 2007 3400RL. A couple nights ago our hose froze up. After we thawed it out and verified water was running through it, we reconnected the city water and have NO WATER in the RV. The water is not leaking anywhere. There is just no water, hot or cold. My husband thinks it is the water heater and I agree that it might be time for a new one but I'm not sure how that would affect the cold water. To make sure nothing was blocking the lines, he used the air compressor to blow air through the lines and the air did come out of the taps. I am at a loss. Thoughts?
Thankfully the park has wonderful amenities and showers.

Is it still cold there? The earlier Montanas had the low point drains exposed. When they freeze they block the flow of water along the line. You might check them to see that might be your problem.

I wonder if the water inlet check valve that is built into the water inlet had become stuck closed due to the freezing and the water pressure from the hose just isn't enough to break it loose to allow water to flow into the rig?

Not sure where he blew the air but if its thru inlet, then that kind of eliminates the check valve. Or he may have used the winterize inlet.
