fresh water tank stinks!
I just aquired a 2000 mountain aire mh. The fresh water smells like old grey water! I've done the bleach sanitization, but not sure if it's drinkable. I'd like to use it as it's intended to be used....

I traveled all winter and stored my rig for 2 months while visiting in Houston. When I was getting ready to go I was draining the fresh tank on the pavement and I noticed little chunks of crud. At that point I dropped the panel under the fresh tank and could see a dark witness mark a few inches up in the tank. Well....I wasn't using it until I cleaned it so out comes the tank. It had a moldy looking black line around the inside. I used simple green and about 10 pounds of various nuts and bolts and used 2 people to tilt, roll and agitate and scrub until clean. I bought the rig 2 years ago and had the under covers off to see everything and it wasn't there at that time. I now bleach it and circulate/flush everything while sitting. I didn't worry too much about well water while using it all winter because we go through so much water. I would never start using a used rig until I'm 100 % sure the tank is clean. Yes, it was a pita but what are you gunna do?
