Camco Freeze Ban Heated Drinking Water Hose: What the Camping World Name Refers To

Short verdict

Freeze Ban is a product name, not a technology and not a separate brand. Whoever searches for the Camco Freeze Ban hose is looking for Camco's heated drinking water hose of the −20 °F line, under the name Camping World puts on it. The hose that carries the same stated data at Amazon is our 25 ft pick.

Our pick

Camco 25 ft (22911)

Ad

Camco · Established brand

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

Why here: Camco's 25 ft hose of the −20 °F line, with the same stated data as the Freeze Ban listing: 5/8 in bore, thermostat, 120 V and a 6 ft cord with LED plug.

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

Where the name appears, and where it does not

So the name belongs to the retailer's listing. The same holds for TastePURE, a Camco product-family name that appears in an older Amazon listing title for the 50 ft hose and in the navigation of Camco's website, but not in the product names of the current pages.

What Camping World states about the Freeze Ban hose

We read both listings on October 11, 2026. They state:

• Rating: “ideal for water line freeze protection down to -20°F (-28°C)”. A maker's claim without a named test method.
• Heat control: an energy-saving thermostat that only heats as needed.
• Drinking water: made with an NSF-61 certified, drinking-water-safe hose; free of BPA, phthalate and lead according to the listing.
• Bore and lengths: 5/8 in; 12, 25 and 50 ft as options.
• Power: 120 V AC; a 6 ft, 18 AWG power cord with LED indicator.
• Adapter: a female-to-male adapter so that either end of the hose can go to the water supply, whichever puts the cord closer to the outlet.
• Jacket: an exterior jacket that protects the hose and the electrical components.

Not stated on either listing: watts or amps, and a manufacturer warranty term. Camco's own site gives 3 years from date of purchase with receipt for the −20 °F line, while the Amazon listing data say Limited 1 Year. Keep the receipt whichever store you buy from.

How it lines up with Camco's own parts

Every stated feature matches; only the part numbers do not. Neither Camco nor Camping World explains why the numbers differ. We therefore describe the Freeze Ban hose as the −20 °F hose under a retailer name and leave open whether packaging or small details differ.

What stays open

• Wattage. Camco publishes none, under either name.
• The instruction sheet. It is not online. Camco's rules on extension cords, coiling and added insulation cannot be read before purchase. The rules that two other makers publish are a cautious default; they are collected on the Camco brand page.
• Warranty at the retailer. The Camping World listings show no manufacturer warranty term.

Buying it

Camping World lists the hose under the Freeze Ban name. The Amazon listings of the same line do not use the name: the Camco 25 ft hose^* (paid link) is described in detail under Camco 22911, the 50 ft hose^* (paid link) under Camco 22912. Which kinds of stores carry heated hoses, and what to check on a listing before you order, is covered on the page about where to buy a heated water hose.

If a hose with −40 °F in the title turns up next to the Freeze Ban hose in your search, that is Camco's other line; the comparison Camco −20 or −40 shows what differs. Lower-priced 25 ft hoses from other makers are on the page about 25 and 30 ft heated hoses, and the heated water hose overview explains the product type.
