Smelly water after 3 days

Got a problem with my water. If I make a gallon of Ice Tea or anything else, after 3 days the water feels slimy and stinks if rinsing out with hot water. Even a rung out dish wash cloth starts getting raunchy smelling after 3 days. What would cause this problem?

I assume you are talking about water from your onboard tank. Bacteria growth can cause the problem. Did you fill your tank from a chlorinated water supply or from a well?

Suggest you dump water, sanitize tank and make sure that when you refill you put some chlorine in the tank.

Are you using the on board tank? If so you need to sanitize...

If you are in a park and seasonal you need to make sure the campground is not on a well..

If a well you needs to sanitize often...
