fresh water tank sanitizing???
Hello; I have a 35 ft. Holiday Rambler class (A) motorhome RV. My wife & I purchased it new in 2006. I have NEVER sanitized the fresh water tank! I drain it along with the grey and black water tank...

How important this may be depends on whether you drink the water or not.
We don't; we drink bottled water.
Having said that, we sanitize at least once a year (de-winterizing time is convenient).
Isolate hot water tank first in case bleach might react with materials in tank.
I don't have exact proportion, but add something like 1/2 cup of bleach to a gallon of water and add that to about 1/2 tank of fresh water. Drive around to slosh it around. Wait 4 hours. Operate all your fawcets to drawn some solution thru all your water lines.
Dump it all, flush a couple of times.
