I flushed our fresh water tank when we first got the 5vr (Oct. '06)
I then filled it up.........used the water....refilled...used (repeat process up to current date) and dang it still has clean water.
We FT and it is constantly being used.
IF we just camped occasionally I would fill.....use then refill for next trip.
After camping season I would drain and leave empty until next season then flush once and fill.
Unless you are filling with untreated well water, pond water etc. Then it's drain/sanitize with bleach mix/flush----fill/treat with bleach/use.
