Fresh water tank

I sanitize my tank in the spring, before my first trip. I use chlorine and water. I drain the tank and refill it as many times as it takes to get rid of the chlorine smell. During the season I keep the tank about a quarter full.

I drain the tank after the last trip when I winterize the RV.

Same here, occasionally for convenience I'll even fill the FW tank completely before leaving home. We camp frequently enough (every few weeks) that there's no need to drain the system at all during the season and there's certainly no way I'd drain the system after just 5 days, let alone jack the trailer up to drain the FW tank completely ... good grief! :h

I drink water from the tank and have never had a problem.

Here's where we differ, as any water we ingest we bring from home ... others may disagree but we prefer it and we've found our dog is less likely to upchuck. :E
