My word! It must be difficult to live in a world where you think everything is going to kill you. People refuse to use their propane refrigerators because your RV will blow up. Now, you can't drink the water from a hose, you can't drink water at all unless it is bottled.
I do understand that there are places where the local water does not taste as good as you are used to and then bottled water would make sense. Other than that, I say use your RV as it was designed. Hook up to the city water and take advantage of the service. I prefer not to use my pump because of the noise. I also think my chances of contaminated water would be greater if it came out of the onboard tank.
It is a fact that a lot of bottled water comes out of a city tap somewhere. They might say "spring water" but that could mean that the city source has some spring water associated with it. I still can't imagine living with such fear. What do you do when you camp? Do you go outside? There are fungal spores blowing in the wind, there are parasites in the dirt, there are chemicals in the air. And don't forget the sun, boy that can cause skin cancer. Do you sit by a fire? So you roast marshmallows? Do you cook on a grill? Do you use charcoal? All of these are HUGE risks if you concentrate real hard.
