Leaving water hose connected in cold weather

We are getting down to below freezing, and the weather will not be above freezing again until about Thursday or Friday. That's a whole week, and I know for sure that my fresh water tank will NOT last that long. So leaving the water hose disconnected that entire time is not feasible.

The lowest it is supposed to get at all is 16 degrees Fahrenheit: My weather for the week.

My water hose is insulated... I put a foam tube on it from where it exits the ground to where it enters the RV convenience center. Then on top of the foam tube, which is enclosed, I wrapped it tightly in foam tape. It's pretty squishy with insulation. I plan to stuff the convenience center with towels, as many as I can find that will fit in there. My fresh water will NOT last more than maybe a day and a half max (I know because I have tried it. That is conserving it, too. (I have thirsty dogs). I plan to fill up the fresh water tank anyway just to make sure I have some if I need it, though.

So can I leave my water hose connected? Any tips?
