The "standard" measurement is: 1 cup per 15 gals of water.
He wasn't asking to how much to add to clean the tank. He was asking how much to add so you can drink it. Some RVers don't read. Everyone can google it at Chlorox bleach company. I took it right off their web site. Doubt I would drink the water with one cup for 15 gallons. I wouldn't even take a shower in it. Some RVers, like me live in a rural area. Guess what? We don't have natural chorine coming out of the ground in our drinking water. When we fill up our fresh water tank it grows stale and can become contaminated quickly. The solution is we add chlorine bleach as I indicated. We can drink it and bath in it. It will be just like you city water.
