Dual purpose
Dianna can't go to sleep when her feet are cold, so she uses a "Bed Buddy". It is a bag of something like sand that she puts in the microwave to heat up then to put in bed to warm her feet. Welllllll, the temperature was in the mid to low twenties and even though I use heat tape on the incoming fresh water hose, I didn't put my cover on the 1 foot of connections, pressure gauge, etc., at the supply faucet. Frozen pipes cut off the flow into the rig.
I had visions of squatting out there in the 25 degree weather holding a hair drier. Then I had an epiphany. Why not microwave the Bed Buddy and lay it on the connection and put the cover over that? So I did. Within 5-8 minutes the water began to dribble and quickly moved to full flow. So now I guess that Bed buddy has an additional handle, Pipe Buddy.
