Hi Everyone,<br><br>I'd love some guidance on a few things - I'm now living in a 1974 19ft pull-behind w/tip out and know (so far) that I need to winterize the connecting water hose, as well as either 'skirting' or surrounding w/hay? or some sort of method to keep the cold air out from underneath.<br><br>Re the hose: Each person at the home improvmnt stores I've gone to has given me different answers and I'm worried the last, which I bought, may actually not be ok for outdoor. It's something called pipe wrap insulation (foil-backed fiberglass) - Will this work for an outdoor water hose thru the winter? Alone and without furthr purchase of other covering?<br><br>Also, I've heard a lot about needing to 'skirt' the trailer. Any suggestions for economical methods?<br><br>I'd welcome any other advise as well which I simply don't yet know to ask - I also bought something called a starter kit for home sealing (says 5 indoor window kits, 6 socket sealers, and 1 heavy-duty weatherstrip seal). And, I have a window air conditioner (hidden behind shelves of art supplies) and would love to be able to leave it and just cover? or insulate? it? for the winter? Any possibility of this w/out freezing myself out for it?<br><br>Thanks,
