How do you sanitize your fresh-water tank and lines?
The instructions that came with our rig use a lot of water. In scarce-water Colorado we do not want to use more than necessary. How do you do yours?

Wow, lots of useless answers on how to use the least amount of water.
To the OP, try this:
Fill fresh water tank with 15 gallons of water and 1/2 cup household bleach.
Tow your trailer around for about 10-15 mins to slosh the bleach mixture around.
Bypass the water heater, then pump the mixture through the hot and cold water lines.
Leave mixture sit for a few hours then drain the tank and fully fill with water. Run the fresh water through each hot and cold line for 15-20 secs. You are done.
Works fine for me.
Do you not feel the water heater needs disinfecting too? Some water sits in it all winter.
If there is a rotten egg smell in the hot water then I sanitize the water heater. If not I don't bother with it.
