Somehow got sediment in the fresh water tank
Out of the kitchen faucit, the water contains little black and clear specks. They are tiny but visible in the light and it's making me paranoid. Not a lot but maybe 10 specs in a 6oz cup. I don't know...

It may be just activated charcoal/carbon from the Camco filter.
Read on for my experience...
I use one of these Camco hose filters:
Before I first used it, I hooked it up to a hose to run water through it (rinsing it out before first use). I was surprised to see black water and some black particles come out of it. The black water and particles stopped after just a second or two and the water ran clear after that.
It turns out the Camco filter is a "carbon" filter: "High-flow carbon filter with KDF to help prevent bacteria growth"
Here is what goes into carbon filters:
Wikipedia Carbon Filtering
So for me, I was sure some of the carbon particles (probably activated charcoal) were just being rinsed out on first use after being assembled.
So I always run water through my Camco water filter before hooking up to my trailer. And I haven't seen any more dark water or black particles since.
