Just some musings.
I start with the fresh water tank and the water heater tank empty.
The first thing I do, is remove water filters. We have three: a whole RV filter, a cold water filter under the sink that filters chorine for the kitchen faucet and the (residential) refrigerator, and a filter in the refrigerator.
I don't know the capacity of your fresh water tank and water heater. Regardless, that will be a lot of mixture to put in your water hose. In my case, it would be almost 7 gallons.
I put all 1 and 2/3 cups of bleach in a gallon of water and pour that into the hose.
Connecting the hose to the RV before putting the mixture in, make it very difficult to get the fluid in the hose. The air in the hose must escape somehow. I have one end of the hose "high" and pour the mixture into the hose. Depending on the "lay of the land," one end of the hose is attached to the faucet and the other to the RV. Then fill the fresh water tank.
I turn the pump on and fill the water heater. Next, I run water through all of the faucets, including toilet and the outside shower. Then, I run water though the cold water "tap" in the refrigerator. I refill the fresh water tank - 10 gallons went into the water heater.
I let things sit for at least 3 hours. During this time, the ice maker is still operating. It will produce two or three batches of ice.
After at least 3 hours, it's time to rinse. Before the second rinse, I replace the cold water filter under the kitchen sink.
