Everything else on our RV did just fine, hit 20 degrees one night and 18 the next. We ran our little electric space heater most of the night with an occasional heat boost from the gas furnace when needed.

That's what I ended up doing with our hose. I disconnected our fresh hose and put it in the compartment. Went to go add more water to our tanks a couple of days later and the hose had ice in it. I've been putting in the shower ever since, I definitely need our fresh hose to refill our tanks regardless of what temp it is outside. The spigots at our site retain the water in our ground so they have continued to work good throughout the past couple of weeks.
We have a small space heater in our bay that I've plugged into the spare 30A supply on our hookup. I keep it at a constant 50 degrees and monitoring it with a remote accu-rite remote thermometer from Wal-Mart. We have two space heaters inside and even survived the 9 degrees the other night.
One issue I'm not too happy about is that it doesn't feel like our slides are properly sealed on along the floor. We can almost feel cold air coming out from under the kitchen and couch. We lined the seal along the floor with some cheap AC insulation from Home Depot.
Florida, you all have nothing to worry about for a couple of days in some chilly weather.
