For the first couple of years owning an RV, I skipped sanitizing the water water tank. Then about the third year, the hot water really stank. It took much use and several weeks to settle down again.
I also avoid taking my HW to maximum temperature. In fact I often set a timer for about 20 minutes which heats the water to a comfortable shower temperature. Then I just turn on HW and do not struggle adjusting the temperature. That approach is really bad for killing bugs so I now sanitize my complete system including the HW tank.
