Alternatives to heat tape for warming pipes under a mobile home or trailer?

Home supply stores have long, easily cut pieces of foam insulation. It's darker in color and is tube shaped like the pipes it's used to insulate. The stuff is cut down it's length so that installation simply involves pulling it open and slipping it over the pipe. That's after it's cut to length of course. Most installers using the stuff run tape along the slit where it was cut to close the gap and seal it.
Answer
Insulating alone won't protect water lines from freezing. Heat tape is the best way to go. If it's possible to rerun the main water line so more of it is up inside the under belly above the insulation then you will have less that needs a heat tape.

Why do tail pipes on pickup trucks come out to the side and not the rear?
shorter pipes mean less cost to manuf. = mo profit. And it looks sporty. My truck's tailpipe is bent 90 degrees with the tip extending another 12-14 inches out behind the right rear tire. The pipe would be the perfect length without that last bend and if it exited straight out of the vehicle's rear. Truck tailpipes exit the side because when towing a trailer rear facing pipes can cause exhaust fumes to enter the passenger compartment by hitting the trailer and "backflowing" up the sides of the truck and into the passenger area. Also, rear facing pipes increase the potential for harmful exhaust gases to build up in the trailer, especially bad if you are towing a camper.
