1/4 cub of house hold strength bleach (5.25%/6%) per 15 gallons of water to sanitize rv fresh water tank/plumbing system
If you fill water tank via a hose connection.....pour the bleach into end of hose, connect and turn on water source.
When you have bleach/water in fresh water tank..turn on pump and run mixture thru plumbing system (open faucet hot/cold until you can smell bleach). Don't forget toilet (and sprayer if you have one).

I only do mine when I first purchase RV (new or used) and then ONLY if an issue occurs.
