I don't know if I want to look inside my fresh water tank or not haha... We do alot of camping off grid and always bring along bottled water for consumption (Cooking and Drinking) and like to have the same bottled water all the time so that our Grind and Brew Bean Coffee maker always taste the same to us...
Will fill up the fresh water tank when we find a water tap somewhere... Usually where we go we find a primitive pit toilet and there is usually a fresh water spigot outside... We can fill the fresh water tank with that when needed using my 5-gal Jerry Can... My fresh water tank is really only used for showers and dishwater actually haha maybe squirt at a squirrel when sitting around the camp site...
I don't think I would want to drink any water out of the creek or pond/lake...
Never have messed with any of the purification things...
Interesting comments here for setting up permanent on blocks at a pond/lake area... County health dudes probably would not permit any one living in that situation... I think if you put it up on blocks it becomes a building not an RV anymore. Might run into an LIVING PERMIT Problem thing with the county folks ???
I know our county here has a whole bunch of rules regarding RV Trailers... I know you can't live in one here unless it is at an established trailer park site... You can sleep over night in one but if you hookup water and sewer it becomes a different story haha...
This comes up all the time here when someone buys some property and have the power company to setup a POWER POLE in the middle of the property. Then they want to hookup to a RV Trailer and live there until they get the house built. County frowns on this big time here haha...
My two cents worth of comments...
