Oh that looks nice!!
Do you ever put a very small amount of bleach into your fresh water?
I use one for my sticks and bricks, it is inline before my water softener. My RV, nope, no filter, don't drink out of any of the RV taps.
For RVing we simply buy $1 gallon bottles of drinking water for drinking, ice or preparing food.
For 2 weeks of camping we spend less than $10 for drinking water, although we do have a 3.5 Gallon water jug in our RV fridge which we preload with water from our home before we leave on a trip.
Sort of reduces the possibility of ingesting non regulated drinking water from highly questionable water sources which may have high bacteria levels. Not to mention different campground sources can have high mineral content which affects the taste. None of the cartridge filters can fix high mineral or bacteria issues.
For mineral issues you need a softener and bacterial needs things like a bleach treatment system or UV treatment system..
I find store bough water is simpler and not much cost for camping.
