I only do an initial sanitize when I get a new/different rv .........

I don't use creek/river water so what's the point?
If the trailer sits unused for a bit of time (all of June for us) things can happen in the water tank/lines. it doesn`t take long for a bug to start reproducing in the warm/stagnant lines of your fresh water system!
Yes, flushing out the lines from a fresh (new) water source is good. sanitizing is better. if you use your RV every weekend or 2 and are always using the fresh water tank then there is no real reason to sanitize as often. we use strictly FHU`s so I keep the fresh water tank clean, as we only use it for flushing and washing hands while on the road.
If not going to use rv.......
Open fresh water tank drain, drain water heater and open low point drains......no stagnant water
