Nope, don't drink directly from the camper's water system. Not because of any possible disease (I sanitize every spring when opening up the camper, really easy to do, why would anyone not do it?), but because it has a plastic flavor that has just never gotten out of the system. We camp about 4 or 5 weekends a year during the summer, so the camper many times will sit weeks at a time unused during the summer.
All we do is use a Brita slim water filter jug that fits in the frig. Simple, good tasting filtered water. We refill water bottles all the time with the filtered water. I will also bring one of those orange 5 gallon water coolers filled with ice and water if I think we might want it.
A critical ingredient of good coffee is clean clear cold water. If I don't have access to a natural mountain spring (which is essentially never), I used refrigerated filtered water. Even with "city" water - I am so used to filtered well water, that the amount of chlorine in city water is amazing. I kind of think city water does work great for camper water systems, though, because of all that chlorine - practically the same as sanitizing the system.
For people who use their camper constantly, or fulltime in it, I can see where there is no need worry about the water system as it is being used regularly.
