Ever since we've been tent camping, we "drink from the tank". Even tent camping, we had 6 gallon jugs of water we carried with us, always drunk from them, never sanitized, rinsed real good, but not sanitized.
1 pop-up and 3 travel trailers later and we still drink from the tank. We fill locally, where we're at and then run the on-board pump. I don't like leaving a hose hooked and water turned on, for (great anxiety) of over pressurizing my lines and causing damage. I know, they make regulators, but I'd rather just fill the tanks.
So yes, we drink, wash and cook from the on-board tank. We do bring a couple gallons of water from home, only for making coffee. This way, it always tastes the same.
