I've seen trailer house pipes freeze at ground level and house level. Sometimes the skirting is open enough with a crack somewhere so the wind will blow in there and dissipate the warmth coming from the trailer. Especially at near zero temperature with the wind really blowing.
Where the pipe comes out of the ground/slab, I've boiled a few pans of water and then poured boiling water on the pipe to thaw them. Using a funnel will help direct it.
Then before it freezes again and with water running, get your heat tape on and wrap it with insulation. Be sure to seal the insulation at the slab and at the house so wind/air doesn't blow into it.
Guess I didn't think back then to go ask the hippies next door to borrow a hair dryer but then with the wind blowing it probably wouldn't have done much good.
