Sanitizing fresh water system
We have a new 2016 Thor ACE 30.1 and I'd like to sanitize the fresh water system. All the sources say something like "mix one cup bleach with a gallon of water and pour into fresh water tank." That so...

1/4 cup of bleach per 15 gallons of tank capacity is the correct ratio.
Although my coach does not have a gravity fill, I use the hose method through the city water connection (valve setting for tank fill.) If your gravity fill is high up, the bleach might run out of the hose as you connect it to the source faucet. You can handle this by attaching a small shutoff to that end of the hose.
