Question:
Does the cord end of the hose have to be outside in the elements for the hose to work when it gets cold.

Expert Reply:
You'll need to reverse the inlet and outlet of the hose to do that Dale. You can connect the hose inside but you'll need to move the cord and thermostat to the other end. The cord connects to the thermostat so that part does need to be outside to turn on the heat on the Camco RV Heated Drinking Water Hose for Cold Weather item # CAM22903.
I've attached a screenshot from the instructions below that shows how to use the included adapter.

Hey Dale, how did things go with reversing the inlet and outlet on your Camco heated drinking water hose? Did moving the cord and thermostat outside keep it working properly in the cold? Your update could make it easier for others setting up the same hose.
