Camco Heated Water Hoses: The −20 and −40 °F Lines, Lengths, Part Numbers and Warranty

Camco in the heated hose market

Camco is an established RV-accessory brand with its own website, part numbers and shop. The Camco heated RV water hose, sold as a heated drinking water hose, is the one with the most specific drinking-water statement in our comparison by spec sheet. At the same time, Camco's product pages state very little: no wattage, no thermostat data, no cord rules.

Our pick

Camco 25 ft (22911)

Ad

Camco · Established brand

The 25 ft hose whose listing names its certifications and its certifiers.

Why here: The 25 ft hose is the Camco model with the fullest data: bore, rating and warranty on Camco's own page, plus named certifications in the listing.

Best for: RV sites where the spigot is within 25 ft and named drinking-water certifications matter more than the lowest price.

What speaks for it

• Listing names an NSF/ANSI 61 certified hose and CSA lead-free certification to NSF/ANSI 372
• Thermostat-controlled heating cable that only heats as needed (listing)
• 5/8 in inner diameter
• Camco's own site lists a 3-year warranty with receipt

What to know first

• Camco publishes no wattage on its product pages
• Instruction sheet not available online: cord and insulation rules could not be checked
• Warranty is given as 1 year in the Amazon listing data and 3 years on camcooutdoors.com
• Costs clearly more than marketplace hoses of the same length

The −20 °F line on Camco's own site

Price classes are rough and date from our research in October 2026. Camco also sells the hoses in its own shop.

What camcooutdoors.com confirms for this line:

• Rating: “Prevents Freezing Down to -20°” on the 25 and 50 ft pages. This is Camco's claim; the pages name no test method.
• Drinking water: the 25 and 50 ft pages describe the hose as certified for drinking water and lead-free. All three product names carry the mark cETLus.
• Uses: campers, livestock, agriculture and kennels, according to the 25 and 50 ft pages.
• Warranty: 3 years from date of purchase with receipt.
• Origin: the pages give USA as country of origin.

What the Amazon listing of the 25 ft hose adds: an NSF/ANSI 61 certified hose, a CSA lead-free certification to NSF/ANSI 372, a thermostat-controlled heating cable, 120 VAC, a 6 ft power cord with LED plug and a maximum pressure of 100 psi. These are listing statements. The two standards cover different things: NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 is about what a product leaches into water, NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 about lead content. Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, lead free means a weighted average of 0.25% lead across wetted surfaces (EPA).

A dash means that neither Camco nor the listing published a figure.

The −40 °F line: listing data only, not found on Camco's site

Amazon listings also show Camco heated hoses with “Freeze Protection to -40°F” and an “Energy-Saving Thermostat” in the title, in 25 ft and 12 ft. On October 11, 2026, we did not find this line on camcooutdoors.com. Everything we can say about it is therefore listing data:

• Part numbers: 22920 (12 ft) and 22922 (25 ft) in the listing titles. A 50 ft hose with the number 22924 exists according to retailer listings; it is not in our product data.
• Heat control: a “self-regulating heating cable” plus a thermostat that only heats as needed.
• Power cord: 10 ft with LED indicator; the −20 °F listings state 6 ft.
• Drinking water: an NSF-61 certified hose according to the listings.
• Warranty: the warranty field of the 25 ft listing says “1 year limited”; the field of the 12 ft listing states no term.

Every card here is labeled “Seller data only”: the figures come from Amazon listings alone, and none of these products is a pick.

How to read that: the −40 °F hoses cost clearly more than the −20 °F hoses of the same length. The stated differences are the number, the cable described as self-regulating and the longer cord. Neither rating comes with a test method. The comparison Camco −20 or −40 sets the two lines side by side. We therefore do not treat the colder figure as the safer choice, and the documented −20 °F line keeps our recommendation. If you live where −20 °F is a realistic night, ask Camco directly what the −40 °F figure rests on before paying the difference.

The warranty: two figures

Camco's own site says “3 years from date of purchase with receipt.” The Amazon listing data for the 25 ft hose says “Limited 1 Year”. Both statements were on record on October 11, 2026. Keep the receipt, register the product if Camco offers it, and check the current terms.

Strengths and weaknesses of the brand

Because Camco's sheet is not online, this site cannot quote Camco on extension cords, coiling or insulation. The rules we quote come from other makers: PIRIT writes “Do not use extension cords” and warns against leaving a plugged-in hose coiled; Miller Manufacturing writes “Do not insulate the hose.” Use them as a cautious default and follow the Camco sheet in the box. What Camco's listings state about the thermostat, the either-end adapter and the cord is collected under Camco heated hose instructions.

The Camco pages in detail

• Camco 12 ft (22910)The Camco 22910 is a 12 ft heated drinking water hose with a 5/8 in bore from Camco's −20 °F line. According to the Amazon listing it has a thermostat-controlled heating cable, runs on 120 VAC, has a 6 ft cord with an LED plug and comes with an adapter so that either end can go to the water supply. Camco's site states a 3-year warranty with receipt, the listing data 1 year. No wattage is published.
• Camco 25 ft (22911)The Camco 22911 is a 25 ft heated drinking water hose with a 5/8 in bore, rated by Camco to −20 °F. According to the Amazon listing it has a thermostat-controlled heating cable, runs on 120 VAC, has a 6 ft cord with an LED plug and a maximum pressure of 100 psi, and its hose is NSF/ANSI 61 certified. Camco's site states a 3-year warranty with receipt, the listing data 1 year. No wattage is published.
• Camco 50 ft (22912)The Camco 22912 is a 50 ft heated drinking water hose with a 5/8 in bore, rated by Camco to −20 °F. According to the Amazon listing it has a thermostat-controlled heating cable, runs on 120 VAC and has a 6 ft cord with an LED plug. Camco's site states a 3-year warranty with receipt, the listing data 1 year. Camco publishes no wattage. Buy it only if the run really needs 50 ft.
• Camco −20 vs −40The Camco −20 °F line (22910, 22911, 22912) is documented on Camco's site and is our recommendation. The −40 °F line (22920, 22922, 22924) rests on listing data: a self-regulating heating cable with a thermostat and a 10 ft cord instead of 6 ft, at a clearly higher price. Both ratings are maker claims without a named test method, so the colder figure is not proof of more protection.
• Camco Freeze BanThe Camco Freeze Ban heated drinking water hose is Camco's −20 °F heated hose as listed by Camping World. The retailer's pages state freeze protection down to −20 °F, an energy-saving thermostat, an NSF-61 certified hose, a 5/8 in bore and a 6 ft cord with LED indicator, in 12, 25 and 50 ft. Camco's own site sells the line without the name, as parts 22910, 22911 and 22912.
• Camco instructionsUse the sheet in the box; Camco does not publish it online. Camco's listings state three things: the heating cable is thermostat-controlled and only heats as needed, a male-to-male adapter lets you connect the hose at either end depending on where the outlet is, and the −20 °F line has a 6 ft cord with an LED indicator plug. Until you have read the sheet, lay the hose out fully and plug it directly into a GFCI-protected outlet.

   25 ft alternatives

Alternatives to Camco

• Lower price at 25 ft: the RVGUARD hose on the page about 25 and 30 ft hoses publishes watts per foot and thermostat switch points, which Camco does not.
• Lower price at 50 ft: the VEVOR hose on the page about 50 ft hoses, with a narrower 1/2 in bore.
• Published manual and 100 ft: Pirit, whose manual states watts, amps and hook-up rules for every length. The two brands are set side by side under Camco vs Pirit.

For the hook-up itself, the heated RV water hose page covers the pedestal, and the homepage gives the overview across lengths. How the picks come about is explained on how we compare.
