That's not necessary. The tanks used in RVs are made with the same high quality plastics used in hospitals and will keep your water clean and drinkable for months. As long as you don't leave the fill cap off or the faucets open.
If it somehow gathered some moss, there's simple things you can do to restore it and still drink it. And that's 1 oz of bleach per 60 gallons of water. Scale that to your tank.
